 graphical, metrological, and historical notes have been made ; 

 a connected account of the first three periods of this coinage 

 has been prepared ; the coinage of Syrtica and Byzacene has 

 been examined and re-arranged. The verification of the coins 

 of the Cyrenaica series with the registration books is completed. 

 402 coins have been weighed and 217 described. 



Coins of Arabia, etc., by G. F. Hill. 



One hundred and sixty-one coins have been weighed and 295

 of coins for purposes of study. The coinages of Nabatsea, the 

 cities of Arabia, and the Himyarite rulers of South Arabia have 

 been arranged and described, and the historical introduction to 

 these portions written ; facsimile drawings have been made of 

 the inscriptions on coins of Nabatsea, and of the inscriptions 

 and monograms on coins of the Himyarite rulers of South 

 Arabia.

 been verified with the registration books. A special study has 

 been made of the period A.D. 68-70 and the gold and silver 

 coins of Vespasian and his sons have been re-arranged. 

 Literary sources have been studied and progress has been made 

 with assigning dates and places of minting to various issues ; 

 the issues of silver in the provinces under the empire have 

 been carefully examined in the light of historical authorities.
