Bull in high relief on both sides. Only two other specimens 

 are known, one at Paris and one at Berlin, the latter recently 

 found at Bruna, near Spoleto. Bequeathed by the late Sir 

 Edward H. Bunhury, Bart. 



Rhegiuvi. — A tetradrachm, B.C. 466-415, in beautiful con- 

 dition, formerly in the Northwick Cabinet. Beneath the 

 throne of the seated figure (Dionysos ?) on the reverse is a 

 rose-bud and an artist's signature (K-E- retrograde), perhaps 

 standing for K[i)aT{i<Tnnrog] 'E[Troi£i]. Kratesippos was an 

 engraver whose name occurs at full length on a somewhat 

 later coin of Rhegium. 



Terina. — A silver nummus of the period of early fine art, 

 B.C. 440-400. On the reverse is an exquisite winged figure 

 holding a wreath and a caduceus, and seated on an over- 

 turned amphora. 



Agrigentum in Sicily.— Two very rare silver coins, B.C. 

 472-415, bearing marks of value standing respectively for 

 Pentalitron and Pentonkion. 



Eri/x in Sicily. — A specimen of the excessively rare 

 tetradrachm from the Duca Tagliaria Find. Obverse, hound 

 in front of a stalk of corn with three ears, inscription, 

 IPVKAlllB (retrograde). Reverse, Aphrodite seated, holding 

 dove ; before her is a youthful Eros with uplifted arms. The 

 inscription has been recently interpreted Irukazije='E|OUK:a^a/ 

 or 'EpvKair), a feminine adjective formed from the name of the 

 town. (Kinch, Die Sprache der Sicilischen Elymer. See 

 Zeitschrift fur Numismatik. Band xvi., p. 187.) 



Messana in Sicily. — A didrachm of archaic style, a deno- 

 mination new to the Museum and apparently unpublished. 



Naxus in Sicily. — A drachm of early transitional style, 

 B.C. 461-415, of great rarity and in fine condition. From the 

 Northwick Cabinet. 



Syracuse in Sicily. — A variety, new to the Museum, of 

 Kimon's masterpiece, the tetradrachm, with the head of the 

 -nymph Arethusa facing, with dolphins swimming among the 

 flowing locks of her hair. This coin was struck in B.C. 409 

 (see Num. Chron. 1891, p. 274). The artist's signature is 

 partly legible on the exergual line beneath the chariot on the 

 reverse. 



Syracuse in Sicily. — ^A beautiful medallion (dekadrachm) 

 by Euainetos, but unsigned, with mint-marks under chin 

 jand scallop behind head. 



PanticapceuTn in the Tauric Chersonese. — A very large
