DEPARTMENT OF COINS AND MEDALS. 87 



Adramyteum in Mysia. — An unpublished silver coin of 

 the 2nd century B.C., of the weight of one-eighth of a cisto- 

 phorus. 



Cyzicus in Mysia. — A bronze coin of L. Verus, having on 

 the reverse an octastyle temple and the name of a magistrate, 

 Hestiaeus, the Ntwicopoc of the temple, probably not the Pro- 

 vincial temple erected to Hadrian at Cyzicus by the Koivov of 

 the Province of Asia, but that of some local cult. 



Lampsacus in Mysia. — An obol, circ. B.C. 500-450 ; obverse, 

 Janiform Head ; reverse, Head of Athena. The peculiarity 

 of this little coin consists in the fact that it has the letter S 

 in the field, which proves it to be contemporary with the 

 Lampsacene electrum staters bearing the same letter. 



Lampsacus in Mysia. — A splendid and unique gold stater 

 of very fine style (circ. B.C. 380). On the obverse is a youth- 

 ful male head bound with a myrtle wreath, and with a small 

 wing springing from the side of the neck. This remarkable 

 head was no doubt intended for Eros, and was probably in- 

 spired by, though not copied from, the famous statue of that 

 god executed by Praxiteles for the neighbouring city of Parium, 

 on the Hellespont. 



Pergamum in Mysia.. — A bronze coin of Trajan Decius, 

 showing the Emperor sacrificing before an altar. The magis- 

 trate's name on this piece is accompanied by the rare title 

 OaoXoyog. 



Cebren in Troas. — Three very rare bronze coins, issued 

 after the change in the name of the town from Cebren to 

 Antiochia, early in the 3rd cent. B.C. 



Cyme in ^olis. A unique didrachm (wt. 94'1 grs.), circ. 

 B.C. 400, belonging to a period of the coinage of Cyme 

 of which hardly any specimens are known. Obverse^ 

 Eagle ; reverse, Forepart of a horse, and magistrate's name, 

 eEYFENHS. 



Myrina in JEolis. A drachm ; circ. B.C. 197. Obverse, 

 Head of Apollo Gryneus ; reverse, Full length statue of the 

 same god. The tetradrachms of this type are well known, 

 but this is the first drachm yet discovered. 



Myrina and jEgce in jEoUs. An alliance coin of the 

 reign of Commodus. The reverse bears figures of Dionysos 

 and Demeter. The alliance money of these two cities was un- 

 known before the discovery of this coin. 



Ephesus in Ionia. — A gold stater, similar to a specimen 

 formerly in the Dupre collection. (Head, Coinage of Ephesus, 

 PI. V. 4.) It belongs to a small series of gold coins struck at 

 Ephesus during the brief revolt of the Province of Asia from 



0.107. ' G 2 Rome
