time in the temple of Zeus in that city. The coin shows that 

 the same " foundation legend '"' was also prevalent at the less 

 important city of Ancyra in Phrygia. 



Eumenia in Phrygia. — Time of M. Antony, a coin struck 

 at Eumenia under the name of Fulvia, which it bore for a 

 short time after the first wife of Antony. The hypothesis 

 that the city of Fulvia was identical with Eumenia was first 

 advanced by tlie late M. Waddington, but it remained only a 

 hypothesis. The inscription on the present coin shows that 

 the name of Fulvia was obliterated from the dies, the original 

 name Eumenia being at the same time restored by means of a 

 countermark. Waddington's hypothesis is thus justified.

 river Senaros.
