evidently struck in different periods ; for their ■ / ■ 
reverses differed, and the legend was variously 
added. Upon one we saw the head of Apollo 
in front ; and for the reverse, a lavip burning : 
upon a second, the reverse was a coiu; upon a 
third, a horse galloping ; and so on ; the same 
front appearing with a variety of obverse types.

senting in front the Centaur iVe^^w^ with. Dejanir a; 
and for reverse, nothing more than an indented 
square. Others of Amphipolis had the bearded 
head of Jupiter, cinctured by ^ filet, or diadem, in 
front, — if this be not intended for the portrait 
of Philip, the son oi Amyntas; for reverse, a 
horse prancing. The following were the different 
legends of the Amphipolitan medals ; the first, 
and oldest, being in the IBov(rT^o(P'/i^ov manner of 
writing :
