BOTTI^A Chalcidices Thracije.<br />

BOTTIAION. Head <strong>of</strong> Apollo to r. IJ. Lyre, similar to that on <strong>coins</strong> <strong>of</strong> Chalcis.<br />

Another similar.<br />

.<br />

Note.—From Tiiucydides (2, 99) we learn that the Bottisei occupied originally the coast <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Thermaic gulf between the rivers Axius and Haliacnion, together <strong>with</strong> the country towards Pella, but<br />

retired before the advancing power <strong>of</strong> the Macedonians into the Chalcidice <strong>of</strong> Tlirace. These <strong>coins</strong>,<br />

therefore, <strong>with</strong> Chalcidic types, were <strong>of</strong> the Chalcidic Bottiaji, who were thus distinguished by the<br />

ethnic from the Botteatic <strong>of</strong> Macedonia, whose numismatic type was Pan and goats in common <strong>with</strong><br />

their neighbours <strong>of</strong> Pella; while the galley and Macedonian shield distinguished them as a Macedonian<br />

and a maritime people. The <strong>coins</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Bottisei were unknown to me when, like Mionnet, 1<br />

confounded the two, and supposed them to be the same people. The article, therefore, in <strong>Numismata</strong><br />

Hellenica, Europe, p. 29, requires correction, and where the error is the more inexcusable, as the<br />

distinction <strong>of</strong> the two people is correctly made in Travels in Northern Greece (iii. p. 455), published<br />

in 1835.<br />
