34 FROM THESSALONICA, 
CHAP. There were not less than fifteen different kinds 
^'. . of medals of this city alone, three of which were 
in silver, representing the Centaur Nessus, &c. 
We also found here medals of Pella; — head of 
Pallas in front; reverse, a bull at pasture ; 
PEAAHZ. A medal of Philippi, of the 
greatest rarity; — head of Hercules in front; 
and for reverse, a tripod, with the legend 
<!>IAinni2N. Also a medal of Audoleon, king 
of P^.0Ni A ; — armed head, full face, in front; and 
upon the obverse side, an equestrian Jigure in full 
speed, with some of the letters of the word 
AYAHA EONTOZ. Coins of the is!omfln Emperors 
were also observed here : but we rejected 
many of them, because they were in bad con- 
dition. We saw one of Alexander Severus, 
representing in front the image of Ceres, bearing 
in her right hand a patera, and in her left a 
sceptre, with theword AA\<l>inOAEITnN ; and for 
thereverse appeared the head of the Emperor, Vfith. 
this legend, AYTHMAPCEV-AAEZANAPOC. 
The bronze medals of Alexander the Great 
had simply a bow and quiver, or a club and 
quiver, with the initials B. A. or the word 
AAEHANAPOY; and those of Philip, an 
equestrian figure^ naked, or a radiated head, and 
the legend <MAinnOY or BAClAEnZ t or 
BAZIAEXil <MAinnOY, with a thunderbolt.
