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 />

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 />

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 />

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 ".

attribution of these Bars, and suggests Venusiaasthe issue mint of the type describ-<br />

Pegasus) against Pyrrhus. He is inclined to believe that it was produced by<br />
private enterprise, scon after the political events of B. C. 279.<br />

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 />

" <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 />

Catana.<br />
A Chalcidian settlement from Naxos . Hieron,<br />
of Syracuse, expelled its<br />
inhabitants in B. C. 476 to colonize it with Syracusans. After the<br />
death of Thrasybulus the new population was driven out and the former<br />
citizens restored. Hieron changed the name of the city to Aetna, but after<br />
it regained its freedom in B. C . 461 ; it was again called Catana.<br />

(terranova)<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 />
