ROMAN COINS. 



177 



Where not otherwise stated, all the coins in the list are small 

 brass. I believe them all to be what are known as " third 

 brass." But the distinctions between first, second, and 

 third brass are so subtle that in some instances this opinion 

 may be wrong. 



The letters G, S, or C against a coin denote respectively gold, 

 silver, or copper, the latter being used in its most comprehen- 

 sive sense of including all forms of brass and bronze. 



The following abbreviations occur on coins described : — 



" AIe. P " = Alexandria?, Percussa, the mint mark of Alex- 

 andria.

 cates that at the time of its use three emperors

 of Constantinople.
