The former have not their reverfes diveiTified by 
fuch a variety of fymbols as have the latter. The 
Carthaginians, in particular, feem to have adorned 
their medals with very few fymbols, or types j and 
thofe fuch as were, for the mod part, common to all 
the cities and towns fubje< 5 l to their republic. As the 
legend therefore, on the reverfe of the medaf I 
have been endeavouring to explain, is clear and ex- 
prefs in favour of my explication, and plainly points 
out to us the place where it was druck ; the above- 
mentioned (42) objedions, hinted at by M. I’Abb^, 
after what has been jud obferved, will fall to the 
ground of courfe, and not be allowed, by the bed 
and mod competent judges of the point in quedion, to 
have the lead tendency-, to invalidate what has been 
advanced in favour of my opinion. 
Several curious particulars, not hitherto touched 
upon, are deducible from the coin, or rather my ex- 
plication of the coin, I have been coniidering. But 
as I have already exceeded the limits propofed to 
inyfelf, when I began this paper, -it is time to con- 
clude j which I^fhall beg leave to do, with affuring 
you, that 1 am. 
Good Sir, 
Your much obliged,' 
and mod obedient, humble fervant.
