1 Ύειμόθεο! Adthat at Odessa.

Dr I. A. Terlecki at Kerch (to whom my best thanks are due for making me practically acquainted with Bosporan coins and letting me have a selection (M.) which has conveniently filled up certain gaps): some of his best coins have passed to Mr Prowe.

The K.

The Cabinet des Me'dailles, Paris.

The British Museum (BM.), which has much increased its series especially from Mr Mavro­gordato since the publication of its Catalogues (BMC.) Thrace, Tauric Chersonese and Sarmatia, by P. Gardner, 1877; Pontus and Bosporus, by W. Wroth, 1889.

The Imperial Cabinet at Vienna, the Royal Cabinets at Brussels and Copenhagen, the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow, the St Florian Collection at Enns, have important pieces. The Fitzwilliam Museum (FW.) at Cambridge possesses a fine series of Olbian Asses and about a hundred ordinary coins.

A Corpus of these coins has been undertaken by the Grand Duke in conjunction with the staff of the Hermitage, but meanwhile the numismatic literature of our region (v. the various Biblio­graphies) is unsatisfactory. Koehne’s Muste Kotschoubey (AIK.), the first real attempt to deal with it as a whole, quite superseded all that went before but is now out of date and withal very rare. Burachkov’s General Catalogue (B.) is also a rare book and both text and plates are very untrust­worthy, but Bertier-de-La-Garde’s Corrections have to a great extent made up for this and since, as figuring over a thousand coins, it is still the means by which specimens are identified, I have given many references to it.

Pick’s plates (P.) of Olbian and Tyran coins are just what was wanted, but there is no text, only a note on p. 918 to state in what collections the specimens he figures are preserved: the materials for his text have been handed over by the Berlin Academy to the Russian compilers of the Corpus. Articles by Jurgiewicz (J.) (on Tyras), by Podshivalov (on the Bosporus), and by Giel in his Kleine Beiträge (Kl. B.) and “Accessions to his Collection” (TRAS. v and vn), have been of real value, and more recently Oreshnikov’s (Or.) and Bertier-de-La-Garde’s (BG.) work· How much I am indebted to these my text has shewn : copies of several of these more recent articles I have furnished with a running analysis in English and placed in the Medal Room of the British Museum where they are generally accessible.

These plates have been something of an afterthought, and I have been able neither to choose the very best specimens nor to reproduce the coins quite as I should wish, but pending fthe publication of the Corpus it seemed necessary to bring the more important coins before my readers : these nine plates, though they fall short of the spacious collotypes now customary, offer a fairly representative selection giving a sufficient idea of the city issues and an example of very nearly every ruler ·, the descriptions make up for some deficiencies with data from better specimens: that is enough to render intelligible the short account of the coinage in connexion with history and religion appended to the chapter devoted to each state. I have mostly chosen the commoner coins just because they are common and therefore truly typical. These I found ready to hand in the Odessa collection to which half the coins belong; it was put at my entire disposal by the Director, Professor E. R. von Stern, to whom my best thanks are due. But a desire to add rarer specimens because they illustrated some particular point has involved my giving much trouble to those who have the keeping of the originals. Most of all are my thanks due to Mr A. V. Oreshnikov, keeper of the Historical Museum at Moscow : to him I sent an unconscionable list of desiderata from among Burachkov’s coins. The courtesy of Mr O. F. Retovski of the Hermitage was the more to be appreciated in that it was as a complete stranger that I applied to him for casts from that collection and the Grand Duke’s, including Giel’s. General Bertier-de-La-Garde kindly sent me most delicate impressions from certain of his important coins of Chersonese. Nearer home I am glad to acknowledge the help given me in the B. Μ. by the late Mr Warwick Wroth, Mr G. F. Hill and Mr H. Mattingly. The Hunterian Paerisades was cast for me by the late Professor J. Young of Glasgow. Recognition is also due to the technical skill of Mr Ready at the B. Μ.

With regard to the weights given for the gold and silver coins I must explain that I had not the time to weigh those from which I took impressions in the Odessa Museum : but the weights of nearly all these specimens have been published by Bertier-de-La-Garde in his Materials for Stathmological Investigation, and so I have been able to supply them : but in some few cases, which did not come within his purview, the weight is given in brackets and is that of the specimen of the same coin given in the publication cited in the last column of the description.
