PUBLISHERS ' PREFACE<br />

One of the stipulations connected with our purchase of the magnificent Collection of <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>coins</strong>,<br />

formed by the late Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong>, zuas that we should publish a comprehensive and fully illustra-<br />

ted Catalogue, to serve as a Record of the Collection and to make it available for study.<br />

Owing to present-day difficulties, the publication has been delayed beyond our wish, but we have<br />

spared neither trouble nor expense in securing its successful accomplishment.<br />

We can only express the hope that this new addition of material to ancient <strong>Greek</strong> numismatics will<br />

prove of service, now that the Collection itself, owing to its dispersal, can no longer be referred to.<br />

PREFATORY NOTE<br />

BY THE COMPILER<br />

Upon undertaking the task of compiling the Catalogue which has now reached<br />

completion, I hesitated as to whether I should follow the traditional method of de-<br />

scribing the <strong>coins</strong> according to geographical divisions, or adopt the more rational<br />

system, founded on the suggestions and scientific principles, advocated for many years<br />

by Prof. Percy Gardner ' and other scholars. In the Sale Catalogue of the Rev. A. C.<br />

Headlam's Collection of <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>Coins</strong> 2 I attempted an arrangement of this kind, and<br />

the <strong>Weber</strong> Collection being much larger the same ideas might have been worked out<br />

more fully. This I could have done without much difficulty with regard to the <strong>coins</strong><br />

of Magna Graecia, and in particular of Sicily, on the basis of Holm's Geschichte Siciliens,<br />

Bd. Ill, but, after considering the immense labour involved in the rearranging of the<br />

whole <strong>collection</strong> consisting of over 8500 <strong>coins</strong> and the endless research necessitated<br />

in the fixing of the classification, according to trade routes, standards, spheres of influence,<br />

etc. — so many theories advanced being only conjectural 3 — I have, much to my<br />

regret, been obliged to give up my first idea, and revert to the old system of giving the<br />

succession of monetary issues under each state and city.<br />

In my work, I have strictly adhered to the order of B. V. Head's Historia Numorum<br />

and the British Museum Catalogue of <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>coins</strong> (27 vols, 1873-1920), even adopt-<br />

ing in my descriptions of the <strong>coins</strong> the phraseology of the writers, realizing that the<br />

very terms used were as a rule the result of careful scientific consideration<br />

<strong>The</strong> labels attached to the great majority of the <strong>coins</strong> in the <strong>Weber</strong> Collection,<br />

and the references made to his own specimens in the official British Museum Catalo-<br />

gues and in his copy of the Historia Numorum have proved of great service in the<br />

compilation of the Catalogue.<br />

I need not say that I take the sole responsibility for any errors, incorrect attributions,<br />

and lacunae which I have not escaped, and ask for indulgence on the part of my<br />

critics.<br />

PREFATORY NOTE BY THE COMPILER<br />

It is with deepest gratitude that I acknowledge here my obligations to D r G. F. Hill,<br />

Keeper of <strong>Coins</strong> and Medals in the British Museum, and to Mr. E. S. G.Robinson, one of<br />

the Assistants, for the invaluable assistance they have kindly rendered in answering<br />

frequent queries, solving difficulties, and the latter especially for perusing the complete<br />

catalogue, suggesting corrections, attributing many Incerta, etc. I am also indebted to<br />

my friend M. Michel P. Vlasto of Marseilles, who has kindly revised the portion of<br />

the Catalogue relating to the <strong>coins</strong> of Tarentum; to Mr. E. T. Newell, President of<br />

the American Numismatic Society, New York, who has rearranged the <strong>coins</strong> of Alex-<br />

ander the Great, in accordance with the result of his own study of this subject; to<br />

the Rev. Edgar Rogers, who has classified for me the Seleucidan series ; to Sir Arthur<br />

Evans, the late Dr. F. Imhoof-Blumer, Mr. J. Mavrogordato, M. E. Babelon, M. R. Jame-<br />

son, and other authorities, whose personal help or whose works have greatly facili-<br />

tated my task.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Conspicuous amongst the most important <strong>collection</strong>s of <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>coins</strong> ever formed by a pri-<br />

vate individual was that begun some forty years ago by the late Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong>, and purchas-<br />

ed en bloc from his executors at the end of December 19 18, by Messrs Spink & Son Limited,<br />

17 & 18 Piccadilly, London W.<br />

Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong> ' was born on December 30, 1823, at Holzkirchen, a small village in the<br />

North of Bavaria, where his father, a native of Bielefeld, resided as the administrator of an estate<br />

of Count Mensdorff-Pouilly. His mother, whose maiden name was Ruperti, was said to be of<br />

Italian descent, one of her ancestors having come from Italy in the suite of one of the Prince-<br />

Abbots of Fulda. Young Hermann spent his early life on his father's farm and there developed<br />

that love for open-air life, which, later in his medical career, he so strongly recommended, and<br />

which perhaps led him to take such a prominent interest in the subject of climatotherapy . At<br />

the<br />

age of nine he was sent to a private school at Wurzburg, and in 1838, he was transferred to the<br />

Gymnasium at Fulda, to which town the family had removed from Holzkirchen. After passing<br />

his matriculation, he began medical studies at Marburg University, 1844, to pursue them later at<br />

Bonn, where in 1848 he took the M. D. degree, and started to practise as a physician.<br />

From early youth, a great admiration for Skakespeare's plays, had led <strong>Weber</strong> to study the<br />

English language. His university teachers were apparently in the habit of attaching him as a<br />

guide to English visitors who came to them bearing letters of introduction. Thus it was that he<br />

made the acquaintance of Sir James Simpson, and it was doubtless in that way that at Marburg<br />

he had met Carlyle, of whom he always kept the most pleasant re<strong>collection</strong>s. Of great influence<br />

on his later life was his intercourse with the English colony residing at Bonn, where he was<br />

brought into professional contact with Sir Peregrine and Lady Sarah Maitland, Colonel (later<br />

Major-General Sir Henry) Havelock, the Turtons, and many distinguished visitors and residents<br />

at the famous university town. His love for England and the British led him to apply for the<br />

vacant post of Resident Medical Officer of the London German Hospital (at Dalston), to which<br />

he was elected in May 185 1, becoming afterwards physician and consulting physician to the<br />

Hospital. On the completion of this appointment, he decided to start a practice as a physician in<br />

London, giving up the idea of returning to Germany, a disposition which was confirmed by his<br />

Dr F. P. <strong>Weber</strong>. — Through the kindness and courtesy of Dr F. P. <strong>Weber</strong> I was able to consult this monograph, and<br />

marriage in 1854 to an English lady, Matilda Griining. In order to obtain an English qualification,<br />

he underwent a period of study at Guy's Hospital, and in 1855, became a Member of the<br />

Royal College of Physicians, to which, four years later, he was elected a Fellow. Among his<br />

friends in the early days in London were Thomas Addison, Edmund Parkes, Wilson Fox and Hilton<br />

Fagge. His affection and admiration for Parkes led him in 1894 to present to the College a sum<br />

of € 3000 to found a prize to be awarded every third year to the author of the best essay upon<br />

some subject connected with the etiology, prevention, pathology or treatment of tuberculosis.<br />

<strong>The</strong> prize, appropriately named the <strong>Weber</strong>-Parkes Prize, has been awarded on five occasions \<br />

<strong>Weber</strong> was from the first specially interested in the treatment of consumption, and he was<br />

one of the pioneers of the open-air treatment, being one of the first to advise patients to spend<br />

the winter in the high valleys of the Engadine. Himself an alpinist, he became an enthusiastic<br />

member of the Alpine Club, and made many early ascents of difficult mountains. In his sixty-<br />

eighth year he climbed the Wetterhorn and Jungfrau, when seventy-three crossed the Capuchin<br />

from Pontresina to Sils, and in his eightieth year crossed the Diavolezza several times.<br />

Among <strong>Weber</strong>'s famous patients may be mentioned five Prime Ministers, namely, Lord Derby,<br />

Earl Russell (Lord John Russell), Lord Salisbury, Lord Rosebery, and Sir H. Campbell-Baner-<br />

mann. He was also frequently consulted on the choice of a health resort for members of the Royal<br />

Family. His professional status was recognized by the Royal College of Physicians, when he served<br />

on the Council for five years, being Censor in 1879 and 1880. King Edward, then Prince of<br />

Wales, appointed him a delegate to the Berlin Congress on the Prevention of Tuberculosis in<br />

1899. He was on terms of intimacy with Lord Lister, Sir William Jenner, Sir James Paget, Sir<br />

William Gull, Sir Henry Thompson, Sir Spencer Wells, and many other eminent members of the<br />

medical profession.<br />

Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong> retired from practice at the age of eighty, but continued to take a keen<br />

interest in medical science and hygiene, and remained a contributor to medical periodicals. One of<br />

his later works, on ' Means for the Prolongation of life', has reached four editions. <strong>The</strong> value of his<br />

teaching was certainly well illustrated in his own case, for at the age of ninety-five he was able to<br />

walk on an average fifty miles a week regardless of weather. I remember meeting him one morn-<br />

ing before nine a few weeks before his death, alert and fresh, taking his 'constitutional', a strong<br />

wind blowing, which would have deterred many a younger man from venturing out unless of<br />

necessity. As Sir Norman Moore wrote of him, " when one met him he never seemed the least<br />

'•' <strong>The</strong> <strong>Weber</strong>-Parkes Prize Medal of the Royal College of Physicians of London is the work of the London med-<br />

allist, Mr. Frank Bowcher, and the conception of the reverse design was due to Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong> himself.<br />

Mr. Bowcher was also assisted by Mr. Alexander Stuart Murray, the late keeper of <strong>Greek</strong> and Roman antiquities<br />

in the British Museum . On<br />

the obverse is a fine portrait of Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong>, in profile to left. <strong>The</strong> reverse of the<br />

medal represents Asklepios seated with Demeter, Apollo and Herakles standing before him. <strong>The</strong> idea is that the phy-<br />

sician (represented by Asklepios) avails himself of the powers of Nature in preventing and curing pulmonary tuber-<br />

culosis. He requires for these purposes : food, supplied by Demeter ; light and warmth, supplied by Apollo (the sun,<br />

the promoter of growth and the destroyer of injurious microbes); and, further, purity of air and muscular force, indi-<br />

cated by Herakles. <strong>The</strong> figures are taken from <strong>Greek</strong> sculptures and <strong>coins</strong> of the best period of <strong>Greek</strong> art " (Dr F. P.<br />

portrait is chiefly after a very good photograph taken in 1881. <strong>The</strong> reverse celebrates the 70th year of his age, and<br />

is the work of Mr. Frank Bowcher (see F. Parkes <strong>Weber</strong>, " English Medals by Foreign Artists", London, 1894).<br />

out of breath, and his bright expression made it impossible to go on without pausing for a few<br />

pleasant words with him "<br />

Many honours were bestowed upon him. In 1899 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. He<br />

was consulting physician to the Royal National Hospital for Consumption at Ventnor, to the<br />

North London (Mount Vernon) Consumption Hospital, and to the German Hospital and a<br />

member of the consulting committee of the King Edward VII Sanatorium. He was also honora-<br />

ry and corresponding member of a large number of learned societies in Great Britain and in fo-<br />

reign countries.<br />

His works include ' Climatotherapy and Balneotherapy' the first edition, entitled " <strong>The</strong> Spas<br />

and Mineral Waters of Europe ", 1896, being the joint work of himself and of his son, D r<br />

F. Parkes <strong>Weber</strong> :<br />

tion of Life ' ;<br />

' Notes on the Climate of the Swiss Alps' (1864) ;<br />

' Means for the Prolonga-<br />

' Treatment of Phthisis by residence in Elevated Regions ' ; and ' Hygienic and<br />

Climatic Treatment of Phthisis' (Croonian Lectures, 1885).<br />

Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong> died at his residence in London, 10 Grosvenor square, W, on the morning<br />

of November 1 1 th, 1 9 1 8, in his ninety-fifth year, apparently without pain, in a kind of faint,when<br />

getting up. <strong>The</strong> terrible war had no doubt caused him much grief, but as <strong>The</strong> Times obituary<br />

notice mentions, " throughout this fearful struggle, his sympathies were cordially and wholly on<br />

the side of his adopted country, where he had worked for sixty-five years, and his one wish<br />

was to live to see the final victory which he expected. His younger son, Lieutenant-Colonel<br />

<strong>Weber</strong>, D. S. O., R. F. A., and all his grandsons (of military age), five in number, had fought<br />

nearly throughout the whole war, and one of his grandsons lost his life at Ypres in 1914 1 ".<br />

Sir Hermann was endowed with an extraordinary charm of manner, which endeared him<br />

to all who came into contact with him. He had a keen sense of humour, and was always ready<br />

to lend a friendly hand<br />

.<br />

Numismatics became his hobby in later years, his interest in <strong>Greek</strong> and Roman <strong>coins</strong> being<br />

first roused by types referring to the healing art. His <strong>collection</strong>, which he began in the latter<br />

years of the seventies, soon increased in extent and importance, and acquired a high reputation<br />

among numismatists. Eminent collectors, as W. H. Waddington, successively French Prime Mi-<br />

nister and French Ambassador in London, D r F. Imhoof-Blumer, of Winterthur, the lamented<br />

facile princeps of <strong>Greek</strong> numismatics, J. P. Six of Amsterdam, D r<br />

Barclay V. Head of the British<br />

Museum, and his colleagues, were among his best friends and advisers. During visits to Greece,<br />

Asia Minor, Sicily, Tunis, Egypt, Turkey, and Palestine, he enriched his cabinet, which included<br />

not only a large number of great rarities, but many representatives of <strong>coins</strong> of the finest period of<br />

art and pieces of capital importance in <strong>Greek</strong> numismatology. "He became a member of the<br />

Numismatic Society in 1883, served on its Council from 1889 to 1906, and was five times Vice-<br />

President between 1890 and 1901. He was awarded the Medal of the Society in 1905 2 ". Accord-<br />

ing to D r G. F. Hill, his chief written contributions to Numismatics were the following papers in<br />

the Numismatic Chronicle : "On<br />

some Unpublished or Rare <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>Coins</strong>" (Third Series, 1892,<br />

vol. XII, and 1896, vol. XVI) ; " <strong>Coins</strong> of Mende " (Third Series, 1898, vol. XVIII); "On<br />

Finds of Archaic <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>Coins</strong> in Lower Egypt" (Third Series, 1899, vol. XIX); to which may<br />

be added his paper in Corolla Numismatica (1906) on " Rare or Unpublished <strong>Coins</strong> in his<br />

<strong>collection</strong>. D r Hill further remarks that " his generosity in giving access to his cabinet to any<br />

scholar who chose to apply to him was no less valuable as a contribution to science than the<br />

communications which took shape in print. " At first Sir Hermann's <strong>collection</strong> included Anglo.<br />

Saxon, English and Roman <strong>Coins</strong>. <strong>The</strong> English portion was sold by auction on 16 June 1885 '<br />

and his Collection of Roman <strong>Coins</strong> came under the hammer, on 29th and 30th June 1893.<br />

This comprised Roman Family Denarii, Imperial Aurei, Denarii, a very fine series of Sestertii,<br />

Dupondii, and late small JE. His Antiquities were dispersed by the same auctioneers, on 22nd<br />

and 23rd May 19 19 (226 lots). A copy of the latter sale catalogue, with rectifications and<br />

additions, will be found bound together with the Third volume of the Catalogue of <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>Coins</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Collection of <strong>Greek</strong> <strong>Coins</strong> 2 comprised many pieces unique or of the utmost rarity, the<br />

acquisition of which for the nation was much to be desired. A special Government grant, with<br />

the help of the National Art Collections Fund and of one or two friends of the Museum, includ-<br />

ing D r F. Parkes <strong>Weber</strong> has secured for the nation some of the most important of the <strong>coins</strong>,<br />

which were offered at special terms by the purchasers, Messrs Spink & Son Ld.<br />

Foremost among the priceless gems of the <strong>Weber</strong> Collection, which are now in the British<br />

Museum are four gold staters of Lampsacus, of extreme beauty, one representing Victory sacri-<br />

ficing a ram (n° 5095), and the others, the heads of the goddess Hera (5098), of Dionysus crowned<br />

with ivy (5099), and of Hecate (5 103), identified by a torch, of which a trace is visible behind her<br />

shoulder. No less interesting are several electrum staters and hecte of Cyzicus, remarkable as fine<br />

examples of <strong>Greek</strong> treatment of animal forms. A unique coin of Smyrna (61 14), with a severe head<br />

of Apollo and a graceful lyre, fills a gap in our historical records, proving, apparently, that this<br />

city, about a hundred years after its destruction by Alyattes, had again risen to importance,<br />

although there is nothing known until recently of its restoration before the time of Antigonus and<br />

Lysimachus. A splendid coin of Cnidus (6475), shows the head of the Cnidan Aphrodite immorta-<br />

lized by Praxiteles ; another, of Chersonesus (4397), in Crete, reproduces the head of the heroine,<br />

Britomartis, and ranks amongst the finest <strong>coins</strong> issued in that island. Belonging to the Asia Minor<br />

series are an early Lycian stater (7236), with lion's mask and triskeles, a curious piece of King<br />

Khariga of Xanthos (7232), a fine stater of Queen Amastris (4796), niece of the last king of Persia,<br />

one of the best fourth century portrait <strong>coins</strong>, a very rare and early coin of Selge with the As-<br />

pendus type and Pamphylian inscription (7417). Charming in design is a beautiful coin of<br />

Tarsus (7631), representing Athene seated on one side and on the other, Aphrodite, in graceful<br />

attitude, playing knucklebones. To the Thracian Chersonese belongs a tetradrachm (2400), bear-<br />

ing on the obverse a lion and on the reverse a helmeted head. Very early examples of Macedon-<br />

ian <strong>coins</strong> call for attention, and in particular an octadrachm, of primitive style, of Getas, king<br />

of the Edonians (1853), known only from his <strong>coins</strong>, which shows on obverse a herdsman guiding<br />

two oxen. A fine head of Athene, of bold relief and pure archaic style, is exhibited on a tetradrachm<br />

ofAthens(3433), belonging to the later times ofthePisistratidae. Of great interest is a coin<br />

of Olympia (4044), with the eagle's head and thunderbolt, with an F, the early initial digamma,.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Some <strong>coins</strong> of Magna Graecia which are now incorporated in the National Collection deserve<br />

also especial mention ; one is the exceedingly rare tetradrachm of Himera (n° 1349), of the fifth cen-<br />

tury, with a lovely figure of the nymph of the hot springs of Himera on obverse, and on reverse<br />

Pelops driving the Olympian chariot ; another (1350) of the same mint, represents the same<br />

nymph sacrificing at an altar, with the inscription IOTEP on reverse, and on obverse horseman<br />

leaping from galloping horse. A didrachm of Thurium (881), is one of the finest examples of<br />

fully developed Attic art. Other <strong>coins</strong> of Croton, Velia, Heracleia, Catana, Leontini, Syracuse,<br />

etc., are no less remarkable for their artistic beauty than for their rarity.<br />

A very rare tetradrachm of Ptolemy I Soter (8213), of Egypt, has the remarkable inscription<br />

TTOAEMAIOY AAEIANAPEION, and appears to have been struck at the newly founded city of<br />

Alexandria.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>coins</strong> above mentioned are but very few of the numerous rarities in the <strong>Weber</strong> collec-<br />

G. F. Hill, keeper of <strong>coins</strong> in the British Museum,<br />

tion ; they are among those selected by D r<br />

for special mention by the journalists who reported on the Nation's acquisitions from this famous<br />

cabinet. Besides these, there are hundreds of others representing almost every district of the<br />

ancient world in which <strong>coins</strong> were issued, which the British Museum was able to secure, thus<br />

filling important gaps, especially in the series of <strong>Greek</strong> Imperial <strong>Coins</strong><br />

A superficial look over the Plates will be sufficient to convince any one of the extreme rich-<br />

ness of the <strong>Weber</strong> <strong>collection</strong>. To give only one instance, no private <strong>collection</strong> in the world ;<br />

apart from those of H. I. H. the Grand Duke Alexander of Russia and of M. R. Jameson in Paris,<br />

; and as already men-<br />

could boast of such a fine series of Cyzicene electrum <strong>coins</strong> (4964-5025)<br />

tioned, some of the <strong>Weber</strong> Lampsacene staters, had long been considered as priceless gems ; some<br />

of these are now among the chief treasures of the National Collection.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are however a number of other choice pieces of the <strong>Weber</strong> Collection which cannot<br />

be passed unnoticed : 141. Quincussis of Rome, Eagle with spread wings; rev. Pegasus flying<br />

to 1. (the eighth known specimen); 308. Cumae, Didrachm {Num. Chron., 1896, PL I, 1);<br />

511. Tarentum, Incuse stater, with Taras riding on dolphin; 512.Tarent.um, Incuse stater with<br />

Apollo Hyakinthios (only seven specimens known; this coin was ceded to M.M. P. Vlasto by Sir<br />

Hermann <strong>Weber</strong> during his lifetime, 1906; 548. Tarentum, At Stater, Head of Hera; rev.<br />

H. de la Tour, Atlas de Monthlies gauhises. Paris, 1892.<br />

In conformity with the arrangement adopted by Head, in his Ristoria Numorum, an arrangement which we have<br />

strictly followed throughout this Catalogue, the <strong>coins</strong> of the Auriol Find Class in the <strong>Weber</strong> <strong>collection</strong> are described<br />

here, under this general heading.<br />

<strong>The</strong> principal finds of these <strong>coins</strong> have been made at Saint-Remv in Provence, 1834, Cavaillon, Volterra, Velia,<br />

Figueiras, 1868, Morella, 1862, Rosas and Ampurias, but the most important hoard was discovered at Auriol, in the<br />

Department of the Bouches-du-Rhone, 1867, hence the name under which this class of <strong>coins</strong> is usually designated.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se <strong>coins</strong>, which consist of small divisions of a drachm of 60-62 grains, Thirds, Sixths, Twelfths, and Twenty-<br />

fourths, were apparently the earliest <strong>coins</strong> circulated, and later imitated, in Spain, South of France, and littoral of<br />

the West Mediterranean.<br />

<strong>The</strong> standard of the <strong>coins</strong> is that used at Velia, Cumae, Neapolis, and during the first period at Poseidonia.<br />

D r Head remarks " that the varieties found in Spain are less archaic in style than those of the Auriol hoard ".

LATIUM<br />

LATIUM<br />

Head, Historia Nuiuorum, 1911, p. 24, divides the Coinage ofLatium into two classes : 1st,<br />

Cast <strong>coins</strong>, consisting of Acs Grave uninscribed but usually found in Central Italy and chiefly in<br />

Latium; 2nd, Struck <strong>coins</strong>, JR. of the towns of Alba Fucens, Cora and Signia, and /E of Aquinum<br />

and Cora.<br />

I. Aes Grave.<br />

Haeberlin, Aes Grave, 19 10, arranges the Cast <strong>coins</strong> into the following classes :<br />

(A). B. C. 312-286.<br />

Light or Oscan Pound. As of 272-58 grm. = 4210 grs.<br />

(I). <strong>The</strong> Latin Wheel Series. — Tressis to Sextans.<br />

(II). Series with head of Roma on the As. Obv. types repeated on Rev. — As to Semnncia.<br />

(II 1 ). Series similar, but with the addition of a Club on both sides. — As to Uncia.<br />

(III). <strong>The</strong> light Janus-Mercury series, with symbol Sickle on obv. of As and Quadrans, and on<br />

Rev. of the rest. — As to Uncia.<br />

(IV). <strong>The</strong> light Apollo Series, with obv. types repeated on rev., and symbol Vine-leat on<br />

both sides. — As to Uncia.<br />

(B) B. C. 286-268.<br />

(V). Heavy Apollo series. Similar to series IV, but without symbol. — As to Uncia.<br />

(VI). Heavy Janus-Mercury series. Similar to series III, but without symbol.<br />

Series I-V, Haeberlin assigns to the Roman mint at Capua, and series VI to the Mint of Rome<br />

itself.<br />

He describes all these <strong>coins</strong> under the heading of rome, as the responsible issuing power.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>coins</strong>, in Sir Hermann <strong>Weber</strong>'s <strong>collection</strong>, belonging to these classes are catalogued in the<br />

order of Haeberlin's plates under Rome (cf. n os 134-197), including the Quincussis (n° 141) which<br />

the same authority considers to have been issued by Rome, at her mint of Capua, in common with<br />

the oter eight types of quadrilateral ingots or bars of bronze (cf. Hist. Num., p. 25).<br />

Notes. Head, Babelon, Sir Arthur Evans and M. P. Vlasto date the incuse Staters<br />

much earlier (B.C. 560-500) ; however, Arthur Sambon (Revue Ntimismatique, 1 916),<br />

the latest authority who has studied this class of <strong>coins</strong>, prefers the above dating.<br />

* Now in M. Vlasto's <strong>collection</strong>. Vlasto, after comparing this coin with the casts<br />

which he possesses of the 30 known specimens of this type has come to the con-<br />

clusion that it is from the same dies as the Berlin coin and one of his own (found<br />

at Lecce, 1906). He further states :<br />

" La piece <strong>Weber</strong> porte sous le dauphin, pres de<br />

la bordure, deux globules (marque de valeur indiquant qu'a Tarente ces monnaies<br />

valaient 2 drachmes et non pas 3). Ces globules ont ete ajout£s apres un long<br />

r. a dove by its wings (cf. Vlasto, Num. Cbron., 1907, PL x, 5). On the above<br />

nomos which is probably the work of a Messapian engraver, the dove of the proto-<br />

type which is of pure <strong>Greek</strong> style, has been misunderstood and changed into a<br />

fish in a small net. <strong>The</strong> Sim catalogue described the object as " a barbed hook with<br />

dolphin ".<strong>The</strong>re is a similar nomos in the Naples cabinet (Fiorelli, n° 1806), cf. R.<br />

Other specimens, all from the same dies in Paris (Due de Luynes), Vienna<br />

Mus., Vlasto Coll. (struck on a thick flan, found at Taranto in 1883 ; cf. Evans,<br />

p. 97 and Notice dei Scavi, 1886, n° 2, of Prof. Luigi Viola's report which is<br />

most inaccurate and misleading in its descriptions).<br />

Owing to the presence of the Vlasto specimen of this type in the 1883 Taranto<br />

find and to the style M. Vlasto now dates this coin to circ. B. C. 315, and states that<br />

Head, Evans and himself were all in error in ascribing it to the Hannibalic period.<br />

<strong>The</strong> thunderbolt and API do not belong to this late issue. M. Vlasto is now<br />

inclined to believe that no gold <strong>coins</strong> were struck at Tarentum after 272 B. C.<br />

(J. P. Lambros, 1888.)<br />

" <strong>The</strong> victorious quadriga is an agonistic type of a class very prevalent in Sicily.<br />

<strong>The</strong> occasion of its adoption at Agrigentum may have been the Olympian games<br />

of B. C. 412, in which one of the victors was Exainetos, an Agrigentine citizen<br />

who, on his return to his native town, was brought into the city in a chariot escort-<br />

ed by 300 bigae drawn by white horses.<br />

" As a powerful composition the type of the two eagles with the hare is perhaps<br />

superior to any other contemporary Sicilian coin-type, and is certainly the work<br />

of an artist of no mean capacitv. " (Head, Hist. Num., pp. 121-122.)<br />

A colony from Crete and Rhodes. <strong>The</strong> city stood at the mouth of the river<br />

Gelas, which is represented on nearly all the <strong>coins</strong> in the form of<br />

a swimming man-headed bull. Under the rule of Hippocrates,<br />

B. C. 498-491, and Gelon, B. C. 491-48J, it extended its dominion<br />

over a large part of Sicily. In B. C. 488 Gelon transferred his capital<br />

from Gela to Syracuse, but in B. C. 466, the inhabitants of Gela were<br />

restored to their native city, which enjoyed great prosperity until its<br />

destruction by the Carthaginians in B.C. 40J.<br />
