ALIA Phrygiae.<br />

^dle —Of the situatiiin <strong>of</strong> this town nothing is known except that it was in Phrygia, as appears<br />

from a coin <strong>of</strong> Alia figured in Pellerin, Plate XLU. fig. 9, on one side <strong>of</strong> which is the head <strong>of</strong> Lunus,<br />

<strong>with</strong> the legend ANTH2AM6N0Y *PTri . on the other side a hearded ; figure standing to I,<br />

having two ears <strong>of</strong> com in his right hand, and in his left a hasta held obliquely, <strong>with</strong> the legend<br />

AHMOC AAIHNQN. Eckhel has not been able to explain the word avrnaan'ivov, which evidently<br />

refers to Lunus, and seems to mean that he was the protector or benefactor <strong>of</strong> Phrygia. The<br />

situation <strong>of</strong> Alia can only be ascertained by the finding <strong>of</strong> its <strong>coins</strong>. But if we may correct the AAIOI<br />

<strong>of</strong> Hierocles into AAIOI, which stands in that document next to Acmonia in the enumeration <strong>of</strong> the<br />

cities <strong>of</strong> Phrygia Capatiana, we shall thus have a slight evidence as to its whereabouts. A bishop <strong>of</strong><br />

Alia in Phrygia sat in the Councils <strong>of</strong> Nicsea and Chalcedon.<br />

VYT. K. M. ANT. r[OPAIANO]C. Head <strong>of</strong> Gordian III. to r. R. Bacchus standing<br />

to I. ; in right hand, cantharus reversed ; in left hand, thyrsus ; under the cup,<br />

panther to /., head to r. ; around, AAlHNilN.
