CORINTH. 583 
one on which appeared, in Roman characters, CHAP. 
the letters COR. One of the most curious t. - . 
things which we noticed among our acquisi- 
tions, was an antient forgery ; a base coin of 
Corinth, made of brass, and silvered over. The 
others consisted of silver and bronze medals, of 
Alexander the Great; of Phocis; of Tanagra in 
Bceotia; of Megara; of Alea in Arcadia ; slrgos; 
Sicyon\ jEgina', and Chalcis-, together with a 
few Roman coins, and some of less note. We 
were surprised by not finding among them any 
of Athens; which are common enough elsewhere. 
When we had concluded our business in Hexa- 
millia, we returned again to Corinth; and saw, 
in our road, the remains of some buildings, 
evidently Roman, from the appearance of the 
opus reticulatum in the masonry: among these 
was the Ruin of a large structure, which seemed 
to have been an aqueduct. 
It was late when we reached our quarters. 
Two of the Levant Consuls sate with us during 
the evening. Their uniform combines, in a Dress of 
singular manner, the habits of Eastern and c^nsX** 
Western nations : it is a long dress, with a 
three-cornered hat, a bag wig, and an anchor 
on the button of the hat.
