104 FROM THE COUNTRY OF THE CICONES, 
CHAP, for works of antient art. Our success, how- 
L ^.' . ever, would hardly have been worth notice. 
if we had not met with a Greek physician. 
Medals, who had many fine silver medals, and willingly 
sold them. Many of these were Roman coins ; 
particularly a very fine one of Nero: but 
almost all of them were said to be found at 
JEnos. The large coarse silver tetradrachms 
of Heraclea Sintica were common here, as 
all over this country. We bought a silver 
one of Philip, with the impression which is 
common to the medals of Alexander the Great ; 
namely, a portrait of this monarch, decorated 
as Hercules, with the lions spoils; and for 
reverse, a sitting figure of Jupiter, with the 
legend 4>IAinnOY. Such medals are, there- 
fore, evidently the coins of Alexanders successor, 
Philip Aridceus. But we obtained here two 
beautiful silver medals of jEnos ; one smaller 
than the other, which is a tetradrachm ; but 
both having that interesting representation of 
the head of Mercury, which proves the great 
antiquity of the scalp-like cap, now called 
Fess, from Fez, as it is worn by all the nations 
of the Levant\ The reverse of these medals
