A bronze coin of Antiochus IV. of Commagene, A.D. 38-72, having his name and head 

 on the obverse, and on the reverse a Scorpion and the inscription AYKAONQN, proving 

 that this King struck money not only in Commagene, but also in Lycaonia. This coin is, 

 therefore, an important historical document. 



A selection of coins of the Holy Land (Ccele-Syria, Decapolis, Galilaja, Samaria, and 

 Judaea), from the cabinet of a well-known collector who resided for many years in 

 Palestine. _ The great number of dated coins in this selection renders it especially valu- 

 able, as it is only by means of these dates that the local eras of the several towns can be 

 fixed.
