KM. Head <strong>of</strong> Geta to r. R. CGBACIHNiiN. Lunus in long<br />

in right hand, hasta ; in extended left hand, pine-cone.<br />

Note.—The pine-cone in the hand <strong>of</strong> the goA Men or Lunus is derived apparently, like other peculiarities<br />

in the worship or mythology <strong>of</strong> Asia Minor, from iVssyria, on the munuments <strong>of</strong> which<br />

country the pine-cone is <strong>of</strong>ten found in the hands <strong>of</strong> kings, or priests, or worshippers. From the<br />

smallness <strong>of</strong> the object, and its indistinctness, caused by the imperfection <strong>of</strong> the <strong>coins</strong>, I have hitherto<br />

been unable to satisfy myself as to the object in the hand <strong>of</strong> Lunus. 'f lie present coin represents it<br />

more clearly, and leaves no doubt that it is the same object as that which appears on a coin <strong>of</strong> Sagalassus,<br />

described in a preceding page, where the pine-cone occupies the entire revei-se, and is crowned<br />

by a crescent, above which is a star.<br />

SEBASTE Trocmorum (Tavium).<br />

Note.—Tavium was the chief town <strong>of</strong> the Trocmi (Strabo, p. 567). From the <strong>coins</strong> <strong>of</strong> Galatia in<br />

Mioiinet (iv. p. 392, seq., Sup. vii. p. 644, it seq.), is evident that Ancyra was called Sebaste <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Tectosages, Pessinus was Sebaste <strong>of</strong> the Tolistobogii, and Tavium, Sebaste <strong>of</strong> the trocmi.<br />
