on many of the coins holds a naval standard; this has also been 

 called a mast with a sail or a vexillum'. 



The most complete and accurate treatment of the coins of Dor 

 is that by G. F. Hill, Catalogue of the Greek coins of Phoenicia, 

 pj). 113-118. Some forty-three coins from Dor are listed, all 

 made of bronze. Two are dated in the year 1 (LA) i.e., 64-63 

 B.C. The attribution of these two coins to Dor is not absolutely 

 certain, inasmuch as the name is abbreviated to the doubtful form 

 Afi. The fact that the coin next in date comes from a period one 

 hundred and twenty-eight years later (64-5 A.D.) increases our 

 suspicion regarding the correctness of the attribution of these coins 

 to Dor. On the obverse of these two coins appeal's the head of 

 Tyche, veiled and turreted. The reverse of the one presents Tyche 

 standing, holding a cornucopia in the left hand, with the right 

 hand resting on a tiller. The reverse of the other coin pictures an 

 ear of barley iipright. 



From the imperial period coins are listed both with and without 

 the heads of emperors. Those without the emperor's likeness date 

 from 64-5 to 75-6 A.D. A frequent type of this class represents 

 on the obverse the head of Doros bearded and laureate; on the 

 reverse occurs the figure of Astarte with turreted crown, long- 

 chiton and peplos, moving left, head right, holding a standard and 

 cornucopia in the right and left hands respectively. Another 

 type of coin has on the obverse a bust of Tyche, turreted and 

 veiled; on the reverse appears Astarte standing with standard and 

 cornucopia. A variation of this type substitutes a galley for 

 Astarte on the reverse side. Again we find a coin with Doros 

 obverse and Tyche reverse. 



The coins with heads of emperors date from the reign of Ves- 

 pasian (69-79 A.D.) to that of Elagabalus (218-222 A.D.)'. Under 

 Vespasian two coins are described, with the emperor's head obverse 

 and a standing Tyche on the reverse. Three coins of Titus are 

 given, similar to the one just mentioned, except that the head of 

 Titus supplants that of Vespasian. Seven coins are listed under 

 Trajan, all with his head laureate, drapery on neck and a star, on 

 the obverse; the reverse differs, having three times the head of
