Greek characters* in Greece or elsewhere* by 
kings, states* or cities* which were independent of 
the Romans. With this class are placed likewise 
the coins of free states and cities* which made use 
of either the Etruscan* Roman, Punic* Spanish* 
or other characters. 
The Roman coins are placed* as far as it can 
be ascertained* in chronological order. They 
consist of the As and its divisions : Family or 
Consular coins; Imperial coins struck in Rome : 
Imperial coins struck in Egypt: Imperial coins 
struck with Greek characters, in different states 
and cities, which were subject to the Romans: 
Imperial coins struck in the Roman colonies : Im¬ 
perial coins struck with Panic characters i Con- 
torniates. 
The second head, comprising modern coins* 
consists of Saxon* English, Anglo-Gallic, 
Scotch* and Irish coins* and likewise the coins 
of foreign nations. This class is arranged accord¬ 
ing to the respective countries to which the coins 
belong* those of each country being kept sepa¬ 
rate. 
The third head, which comprises a class consi¬ 
derably more modern than either of those which 
precede it, consists of Medals struck in our own 
country, and of those which have been struck 
abroad. These are arranged in the same manner 
as the modern coins.
