FROM THE CIMMERIAN BOSPORUS, 
Justinian, and one of Licinius; also a Latin 
Autonome, of great rarity, with the head of a 
Roman Empress in front ; having for the reverse, 
an amphora, with the letters D. D. Deere to 
Decurionum. This last would have been wholly 
inexplicable to us, but for the observations of 
the learned Sestini upon one of a similar nature ' . 
Concerning the representation given from a fine 
silver tetradrachm of Mithradates the Great, and 
a small silver medal of Polemo the First, it should 
be said, that the coins of these kings were not 
struck in Bosporus, neither were they found 
there. We procured them, after we left the 
Crimea, in the bazars of Constantinople; but, on 
account of their beauty and extreme rarity, as 
well as their intimate relationship to the series 
of Bosporian kings, a notice of them may be con- 
sidered an interesting addition to this work. 
Our observations upon all of them will be brief; 
and even these must be reserved for a IS otc , 
because Numismatic dissertations involve dis- 
cussion, alone sufficient to require a volume. 
The Reader wishing to see the subject treated 
more at large, will find satisfactory information 
in Cary's History of the Kings of the Cimme- 
rian Bosporus *; in the posthumous work of
