ASIATIC GREECE.<br />

Augustus.<br />

Head <strong>of</strong> Augustus to r. B. tJt/Ji- Lyre<br />

ACALISSUS Lyciffi.<br />

Note.—The situation <strong>of</strong> Acalissus was ascertained by the late Mr. Daniell and Capt. Spratt, R.N.<br />

by means <strong>of</strong> an inscription containing the name <strong>of</strong> the place. Acalissus stood on a height rising from<br />

the right bank, and about fifteen miles from the mouth <strong>of</strong> a large river in the south-eastern part <strong>of</strong><br />

Lycia, which is now called Allighyr, but <strong>of</strong> which the ancient name is uncertain. Though now a<br />

mere ruin, Acalissus was still a bishoprick in the ninth century.<br />

rOPAIANOC ceBA. Bust <strong>of</strong> Gordianus to r., laureate and<br />

Armed horseman, galloping to r.—<br />

Electrotype.<br />

Note.—The imperial <strong>coins</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Asiatic cities so commonly represent the emperors as laureate<br />

and clothed <strong>with</strong> the paludamentum, that it will not generally be necessary to notice these distinc-<br />

tions.<br />

ACCILLEIUM Ioni«.<br />

Note.—There can be little doubt that this is the same place as the 'AxiXXiTov mentioned on two<br />

occasions by Xenophon (Hellen. 3, 2— 4, 8). It appears clearly to have been situated in or near<br />

the valley <strong>of</strong> the Maeander, not far from Magnesia and Priene.<br />

ACMONIA PhrygijB.<br />

Note.—<br />

Acmonia, according to the Tabular Itinerary, was thirty-live miles from Cotyaeium on the<br />

road to Philadelpheia. Its exact position therefore might probably be determined by following the<br />

modem route from Kut^ya to AUhsheh^r.<br />
