The Greek coins are arranged in geographical order, 
and include all those struck with Greek characters, in

made use of either the Etruscan, Roman, Punic, Spa¬ 
nish, or other characters.

rial coins struck in Rome; Imperial coins struck in 
Egypt; Imperial coins struck with Greek characters, 
in different states and cities subject to the Romans; 
Imperial coins struck in the Roman colonies ; Imperial

of Anglo-Saxon, English, Anglo-Gallic, Scotch, and 
Irish coins, and likewise the coins of foreign nations.
