be accepted as equivalent to tJie representatioB of a war- 

 galley. On tlie other specimen the reverse type is a bunch 

 of grapes, symbolical of the cult of Dionysos.

 square quartered on the reverse.

Mysia. — A silver coin (wt. 45 grs.) of the city of Atarneus. 

 Ohv. Head of Apollo of fine style ; rev. Coiled serpent : 

 probably the personal badge of Drakon the Achaean, who 

 was placed by the Spartan general Derkyllidas (b.c. .398) in 

 command of the garrison quartered by him in the citadel 

 of Atarneus, when, after a prolonged siege, he had reduced 

 the city to submission. (Of. Grote, Hist. Gr. VI. 379 ; Xen. 

 Hell. III. 2, 11 ; Isocrates, Paneg. 144.)

 details from all previously known specimens. 



Troas. — A unique bronze coin of the city of Sigeium.

 and double-bodied owl. The Sigeian type of this coin 

 coupled with the legend ANTJOXEIIN and the portrait 

 of Antiochus Hierax {oh. 227 B.C.) proves that Sigeium, like 

 its neighbour Cebren, bore, for a brief period, the name of 

 Antioch. 



Ionia. — A silver coin of Clazomenae (circ. 400 B.C. ; wt. 

 54 • 8 grs.). Ohv. KAA Fore-part of winged boar ; rev. Ram's 

 head in incuse square. The numismatic importance of this 

 coin is considerable, as the inscription KAA serves to fir 

 definitely to Clazomenae a whole series of archaic coins with 

 a winged boar upon them which have hitherto been only 

 conjecturally assigned to that city.
