This article presents in a concise fashion a look at the antiquities trade, its causes and effects, and the problems it creates. With the focus specifically on ancient coins, where it has been estimated that 80% of all coins on the market today have been dug up within the last 30 years with the aid of metal detectors, the main problem becomes the unprovenanced nature of the finds. Current international attempts to control the antiquities trade seems doomed to only partial success at best due to difficulties of enforcement. (Victor Kess)

The conclusion of a three part discourse on the utilization of ancient coins and gems in the works created by the artist Peter Paul Rubens. It is suggested that few artists understood the ancient world and its imagery quite like he did and further, he was said to have taken the abstraction out of classical idealism. As examples, the Three Graces of traditional antiquity, and their modified use by Rubens, as well as the familiar scene of Victory crowning the victor are cited as resulting in compositions that fuse classical ideals and symbolism with baroque vitality.

The study notes the evolution from stools to chairs, including the folding curule chair, to thrones as depicted on ancient coins. The importance of the seated figure, whether it be emperor, god, goddess, or some high official is apparent; a footstool seems to enhance the importance of the seated person. The bisellium, a double seat for two persons of equal status to sit side-by-side is mentioned. Although there are no depictions of beds, they are considered to be closely related to couches (pulvinar) which are seen on many coins. The tripod and its various functions are described and some illustrated. Several types of tables are shown, such as a handsome three-legged example, a prize table, called an agonistic table, on which prizes were displayed for various competitive events, and the Showbread table depicted on some Judean coins. Considering storage containers as furniture, these would include baskets, including the Cista Mystica, either wicker or wooden cabinets, sometimes used as shrines, are less common. A fine example of a cabinet is illustrated on a 23 mm bronze of Philip II struck at Perga in Phrygia. The most renowned cabinet is the Ark of the Covenant depicted on some Judean shekels. Noah's Ark, on a 37 mm bronze coin from Apameia, of Trebonianus Gallus, is symbolized by a wooden chest (kibotos) containing a male and female figure, the dove and olive branch on the lid, and Noah and his wife in front of it.

The coin-type, usually described simply as a 'double-floral' or 'double-stellate' pattern, is here identified as a stylised representation of the precinct (temenos) and luxuriant garden (aloe) of Alicinous (Hom. Od. 6,291-2; 321-4), an important state cult-centre (Thuc. 3.70). (John Hind)

Lee, Ian. "The Flower of Adonis at Eryx," The Numismatic Chronicle 159 (1999), pp. 1-31, illus.
This paper reattributes from archaic Selinous to Eryx an issue of anepigraphic fractions depicting a leaf and a flower. A second issue has the legend for Eryx. The author identifies the flower as an anemone, sacred to Adonis, whose shrine at Eryx was one of the most celebrated in antiquity. (Ian Lee)

By reattributing, respectively from Egesta to Selinous and from Selinous to Eryx, two silver fractions, the author seeks to dispel the notion that Egesta and Eryx shared a coin type they held in common (a hound) with Selinous. (Ian Lee)
Manganaro, Giacomo. "Metoikismos dei Danklaioi a Mylai," Schweizerische Numismatische Rundschau 80 (2001), pp. 7-18, 1 pl.
Unter Heranziehung des viel behandelten "Damareteions" wird das Überleben der Oligarchie in Zankle (Danklaioi) diskusiert, nachdem die Stadt im Jahr 490 v. Chr. mit Unterstützung durch den Tyrannen von Rhegion, Anaxilas, von den Messeniern erobert worden war. Wir kennen eine ähnliche Umsiedlung (Metoikismos) der Stadtbevölkerung der Aitnaier von Katane nach Inessa (Neu-Aitna) vom Jahr 463 v.Chr., ebenso später, in 282 v.Chr., die Umsiedlung der Geloer von Gela nach Eknomos, die von Phintias, dem Tyrannen von Akragas, veranlasst wurde. Im Fall von Zankle stetzen sich die überlebenden Oligarchen in Mylai fest, während ihre Stadt im Besitz der Messenier war und jetzt Messene hiess. Es war also in Mylai, wo ca. 461 v.Chr. das Tetradrachmon mit der Legende DANKLAION geprägt wurde, mit der Figur des Zeus Eleutherios der, vor einem Altar stehend, einen Blitz schleudert (Taf. 1, 8); es befindet sich heute in Brüssel. Um die gleiche Zeit prägten die nach Inessa umgesiedelten Aitnaier das herrliche Tetradrachmon, ebenfalls in Brüssel, mit dem Kopf eines Silens. Dieser zeigt eine enge Verwandtschaft zum Dionysoskopf des ersten Tetradrachmons von Naxos, und beide, obschon stilistisch etwas entwickelter, gehen deutlich auf den Aretusakopf des "Demareteions" zurück.

Nimchuk, Cindy L. "The Lion-and-Bull Coinage of Croesus," The Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society Journal 1.1 (June 2000), pp. 5-44, illus.
The author defines six categories of artistic style for the Croesid series, as opposed to Naster's four, and uses them to argue that the heavy and light standards for Croesid gold were issued concurrently rather than in sequence from heavy to light. A detailed die study reveals the use of 152 obverse dies and 167 reverse punches in a sample of 205 coins and links between dies used for gold (on both standards) and silver issues. This paper was researched and written at the American Numismatic Society, Summer Seminar 1997. (Oliver D. Hoover)

A hoard from As-Surayrah (Yemen) with 190 recorded silver coins throws new light on the coinage of the kingdom of Qataban. The bulk of the hoard consists of tetradrachms, didrachms and drachms which imitate old style Athenian coins and many of which bear the 'royal' Qatabanian monogram.

Zagaba, known from coins of the 5th / 4th centuries BC, now seems to be the name of an important Central Lycian town, rather than of a Lycian dynast. The ruins of Zagaba have recently been discovered. The discovery has several consequences for the understanding of Lycian coinages. The Central Lycian issues of the 5th century BC are the main focus of this important study, illustrated by some 60 numismatic objects. (Hans R. Baldus)

The author publishes an overstrike of a coin of Entella on a drachm of Athens and argues that the Campanian mercenaries who founded Entella arrived there in 410 BC, and that the overstriking took place in 410/9 BC. Circumstantial evidence suggests that Entella had become the Carthaginian military headquarters prior to the invasion of Sicily in 409, and that this was the site of the first Carthaginian ('Sicilo-Punic') mint.

The first phase of Maroneia's tetradrachm coinage copies the winestock reverse type of Mende closely. The recent Skione hoard (CH VIII, 63) closes just before the new Mende type and can be dated c. 432 BC. Maroneia's coinage probably ended with Mende's: both mints closed as a result of the Athenian Standards Decree of 425/4 BC. (Harold B. Mattingly)

This paper argues that Marchetti's theory must be abandoned, and that the word indicated simply agio. (Joshua D. Sosin)

Tameanko, Marvin. "Xenophon's 'Anabasis', 401-399 BC," The Celator 12.5 (May 1998), pp. 6-22, illus.
A fascinating account of the wanderings of a group of Greek mercenaries retreating from the heartland of Persia to the Aegean Sea. These travels, which often mention coins, are chronicled by the Athenian soldier, historian and author, Xenophon, 428-354 BC, in his book 'The Anabasis of Cyrus'. The Greek word Anabasis came to be applied to this escape by those known as the 'Ten Thousand' who were enlisted by Cyrus II and tricked into an expedition against the Great King of Babylon. The author in relating the travails points out the different denominations of currency in circulation at the time such as the daric, siglos, mina, talent, and Kyzikene. Also discussed are the coin types in common use in cities such as Kyzikos, Athens, Tarsos, Miletos, Kolchis, Trapezos, Sinope, Byzantion, Selymbria, Lampsakos, Dardanos, and Antandros. (Victor Kess)
Tameanko, Marvin. "The Coinage of the 'Herculean Alliance' 394-387 BC," The Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society Journal 1.1 (June 2000), pp. 53-64, illus.
The rare silver tridrachms, thought to represent an alliance of cities on the western coast of Asia Minor and Propontis are connected by their reverse design, the infant Hercules killing two snakes, and the letters SYN. The latter are thought to be an abbreviation of SYNMACHIKON meaning "alliance", and other than the numismatic evidence, other documentary material relating to this alliance is scanty. The known cities of this alliance were Byzantion, Kyzikos, Ephesos, Samos, Iasos, Knidos, and Rhodos. Futhermore it is difficult to determine against whom the alliance was directed. Several theories and dates have been proposed and are noted in this paper, but the author prefers to see alliance as one established by Athens and Persia against Sparta. Coins of Thebes and Lampsakos showing a similar Herculean motif without the key letters SYN, may represent some kind of sympathetic support for this maritime alliance. The possibility exists that coins from other coastal cities of the region, such as Chios, may be discovered and shed more light on this interesting and poorly-documented political event. (Robert I. Gait)
Tameanko, Marvin. "Numismatically Related Objects from the Mint in the Athenian Agora," The Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society Journal 2.2 (June 2001), pp. 84-90, illus.
The paper describes three types of objects excavated at the site of the Athenian Agora by the American School of Classical Studies in Athens between 1931 and 1985. A map of the Agora in the 2nd century AD is provided. Inscribed bronze weights of 795 gm, 190 gm., and 126 gm are identified respectively as 'stater', bearing a knucklebone image, 'quarter', bearing an image of the Boetian shield, and a 'sixth', bearing an image of a turtle. These are likely to be standard weights against which other weights, of merchants for example, could be compared. The irrational relationship between the weights of the three items has not been satisfactorily explained. Another item of numismatic character are bronze tokens depicting items of armor which were redeemable by the soldiers in time of war from the armory. Also found at this site are bronze discs with a short central axle projecting from both sides which was either solid or pierced. These were ballots used for voting in courts of law. It is surmised that the solid axle type was for innocent verdicts and holed ones for guilty. (Robert I. Gait)
Tameanko, Marvin. "Selinus - Ancient City of Many Temples and Wild Celery Plants," The Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society Journal 2.4 (December 2001), pp. 165-174, illus.
Selinus was a prosperous archaic Greek city on the western part of Sicily, founded in 650 BC by a population from an area near Syracuse, it was destroyed in 409 by the Carthaginians. The coinage forms the best documentary evidence relating to the history of Selinus. Its claim to fame is the occurrence of the wild celery plant, of some importance as it is featured on the silver didrachms. It also had a number of fine temples, one of which, an octastyle, was the second largest in the Greek world; its plan was 111 metres long by 53 metres across the front with columns 18 metres high. The paper gives and account of the history of the city and its development and describes the beautifully designed depictions on the coins that relate to major events in the city's history. These included, the draining of the swampy, unhealthy marshland in the area causing malaria to be prevalent, and the building of the temples. A silver litra commemorates the victory over the Carthaginians at Himera in 480 BC. The streets of the ancient city are rectilinear, predating those on the Greek mainland by about 70 years, making it the earliest known example of this type of city planning. (Robert I. Gait)

La cité de Mylasa en Carie est à l'origine de tétradrachmes et de didrachmes représentent les dieux cariens Zeus Osogôa et Zeus Labraundeus. Leur émission pourrait avoir eu lieu vers le milieu du IIIe siècle a.C., après que Mylasa, grâce à l'intervention des Séleucides, eut recouvré son autonomie au détriment des Lagides. I est également très possible que des petits bronzes montrant une bipenne et un trident aient été émis en même temps que les monnaies aux duex Zeus. Tous ces monnayages se placeraient ainsi avant la frappe des alexandres en argent de Mylasa à la bipenne et au trident combinés, et avant les bronzes mylasiens an cheval et au trident.

The deity depicted on Apamean quasi-municipal coins under Alexander I Balas should be identified as Zeus rather than Poseidon. This series, which only bears the date 163 SE (=150/49 BC), should be seen as a type of Seleucid adventus coinage referring to Alexander's arrival at the city during a general tour of Syria Seleucis beginning in 150 BC. The quasi-municipal coins of other cities in the region, dated to the period 151/0-149/8 BC, are all related to the same royal tour. Unlike the other quasi-municipal coinages under Alexander, the Apamean series was frequently countermarked with a stamp depicting a palm branch. Because it often appears over the city ethnic, it may have been applied by the partisans of Demetrius II Nikator after the fall of Alexander I, as part of Demetrius' repressive political and military policies towards the city.

Huston, Stephen M. and Catharine C. Lorber. "A Hoard of Ptolemaic Bronze Coins in Commerce, October 1992 (CH 8, 413)," Numismatic Chronicle (2001), pp. 11-40.
The hoard record shows that a currency reform in the latter reign of Ptolemy IV removed much bronze coinage from circulation: all bronzes larger than c. 48 g, and all but one denomination of Ptolemy IV. CH VIII, 413 includes the largest bronze denominations in circulation after the reform: issues of Ptolemy III weighing c. 48 g; the equivalent denomination of Ptolemy IV, always countermarked; a variety with double eagle reverse (Svoronos 1423) weighing c. 40 g, representing the reformed coinage; and the latest variety in the hoard, another double eagle bronze weighing c. 29 g (a subgroup of Svoronos 1424). The reform and succeeding weight reductions probably correlate with the inflationary phenomena recorded in papyrological sources datable to the reigns of Ptolemy IV and V. Many papyrologists believe that about 210 a new system of reckoning was introduced, based on a much smaller bronze drachm. This idea receives support from a bronze monetary weight found in a Lebanese hoard of countermarked bronzes of Ptolemy IV. With a weight of 80.14 g it was equivalent to two of the "reformed" double eagle coins, and it could have been used for monetary conversions, having two parallel strokes on one side and the letter Mu (=40 drachms) or Sigma (=200 drachms) on the other.

Lorber, Catharine C. "Large Ptolemaic Bronzes in Third-Century Egyptian Hoards," The American Journal of Numismatics 12 (2000), pp. 67-92, 6 pls.
Overlapping third-century hoards establish the following sequence of bronze issues for Ptolemy III in Egypt: Lambda, E and variants, unmarked, and Chi-Rho. The makeup of the hoards strongly suggests that the largest of all Ptolemaic bronzes, with a diameter of c. 48 mm and a weight of c. 96 g, was issued primarily under Ptolemy III and had the face value of a drachm. This implies a temporary increase in the bronze "weight standard" in the first half of Euergetes' reign. Eight hoards close at the same point in the reign of Ptolemy IV, with issues marked Sigma, Sigma Epsilon, and Sigma-Epsilon monogram. The closure of these hoards was followed by an episode of countermarking, indicating that their simultaneous deposit was due to a monetary reform. (Catharine Lorber)
Lorber, Catharine C. "The Lotus of Aphrodite on Ptolemaic Bronzes," Schweizerische Numismatische Rundschau 80 (2001), pp. 39-52, 3 pls.
The lotus was a symbol of Aphrodite Cypria. Provenances indicate that virtually all Ptolemaic bronzes with a lotus blossom symbol circulated on Cyprus. The sole exception is the "Eulaeus" series, whose only known findspots are Syrian. It is likely that this series too circulated on Cyprus, but that much of it was taken as booty during the Seleucid invasion of 168 and carried off to Syria, where some pieces were countermarked with an anchor. The reattribution of lotus bronzes to Cyprus means that from c. 180 to the reforms of Cleopatra VII, no bronze coin larger than c. 30 mm and c. 24 g circulated in Egypt. (Oliver Hoover)

The coins found at the site of the church Sv. Vid in ancient Narona in Dalmatia are described. They cover the time span from the 2nd century B.C. to the 16th century - the earliest coin is a bronze of the Illyrian king Ballaios, and the most recent one is of King Ferdinand, the first Habsburg. Most of the coins are Roman Imperial, and some of them are Byzantine. The coins of the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) have been also found there. (Maja Bonacic Mandinic)

Alcune note sul sistema economico e monetario dei Tolemei fra la fine del III e la seconda metà del I sec.a.C. Nel regno non potevano circolare monete straniere che dovevano essere cambiate in quelle d'argento egiziane il cui fino era inferiore del 17%. Questa speculazione sul cambio portava notevoli vantaggi finanziari alla dinastia. Numerose furono anche le coniazioni in oro, fornito dai ricchi giacimenti del sud del paese, prodotte costantemente con la sola eccezione del regno di Cleopatra. (A. Carignani)

Differentemente dagli altri sovrani tolemaici Cleopatra VII non emise moneta d'oro in considerazione dello stato disastroso delle finanze del regno. Per le medesime ragioni anche le emissioni d'argento presentavano un fino piuttosto povero. Il dato significativo consiste nel fatto che il contenuto d'argento delle monete di Cleopatra corrispondeva a quello del denario romano, creando le premesse per una omologazione dei sistemi ponderali. Abbondanti furono infine le coniazioni in bronzo. (A. Carignani)

The author proposes a new arrangement of the dated cistophori of Ephesos: while the second group (years 76-86) is precisely dated to 59/58 BC onwards, it is suggested that the first group (years 1 to 67) follows a different era which began in 129/128 BC, after the defeat of Eumenes III and the organization of the Province of Asia. The assumption of two different eras would not only lessen the hiatus between the two groups from 8 to 3 years but would also match several astronomical observations. (Markus Peter)

Most interested scholars, though not all, have now accepted the lower chronology. (Jennifer A.W. Warren)

Excavations and subsequent metal detector controls at the Celtic site of Mont-Vully (Fribourg, Switzerland) have yielded a collection of 72 coins and one die. The group is composed of seventeen quinarii of the KALETEDV type (LT 8178) and one helmeted head quiarius (LT 5138). The bronze coins are “long cou” potin from the Rhone valley (LT 5611), 2 Leuci boar potins (LT 9078), two potins with OYINDIA inscriptions (LT 8319) (probably of Lingones origin), 32 potins “à la grosse tête” (A3, A5, A6, A8.1 and A8.2, B1 or 2 and B4.1), 3 Helvetian potins with anchor motifs and 11 uniface potins with wheel motifs. The comparison of this group with finds in France and Switzerland reveals that the coins belong to the LTD2a period, a date that concurs with the proposed date of 58 BC for the conflagration at Mont-Vully. The die, discovered in 1996, is the first of its type. It shows the obverse of a KALETEDV quinarius. Analyses show not only that it was cast, but that it saw use. However, the amount of wear cannot be measured. (T. Anderson)

During the excavations of 2001 in the Rhine valley near the Kaiserstuhl hills north of Freiburg, Germany (map: fig. 59), several Celtic coins were found: 1 Kaletedou quinarius, 18 potin coins of the Leuci and Sequani, 17 aes coins of a special 'Riegel type'. In addition, a hoard of 27 Celtic gold staters (ca. 6.6 grams each, ca. 37% Au) of the Philip type (Obv. head of Apollo, Rev. horse(s ?), see fig. 58) was found. Some of them were still in the original pot (fig.60). The hoard seems to have been buried in the second half of the second century BC. Cf. N.N., Apollo in Riegel. Antike Welt 33/H.2 (2002) p.226.

Les émissions celtes représentent un ensemble hétérogène, les émissions, les métaux, les types, les poids diffèrent. Pendant plusieurs siècles, les Celtes vont ainsi créer et développer un système monétaire qui va accompagner le lent développement économique antérieur à la conquête romaine. Ce volume étudie les frappes de la partie orientale de la Narbonnaise, soit les frappes émises entre Antibes, Lyon et Perpignan. C'était la région la plus influencée par Marseille, puis par Rome. Les ateliers locaux copièrent les modèles des ateliers dominants avant de créer des types originaux. En Languedoc-Roussillon, les émissions s'inspiraient des frappes ibériques. Ces diverses monnaies portaient des légendes grecques, latines ou ibériques. Le catalogue comprend une présentation historique et une étude des frappes, de la métrologie, de la circulation monétaire. L'ouvrage est illustré de dessins, graphiques, photos et possède plusieurs index. (Georges Depeyrot)

Two new Ancient British Iron Age coins from the Fincham (south-west Norfolk) hoard have permitted the definitive resolution of the obverse legend on the Icenian coins previously attributed to Prasutagus, husband of Boudicca. Formerly read as SVB RI PRASTO (under King Prasutagus), the legend now clearly reads SVB ESVPRASTO (under Esuprastus). This new name is similar to one on the neighbouring Corieltauvian series, which suggests that the cultural, and perhaps political, boundaries between the Iceni and Corieltauvi were not as clear as we tend to think.

The date of the reign of Vonones I, king of Parthia is mostly attested by coins, mainly tetradrachms. The author follows the majority of historians in believing that the Macedonian calendar was used on them, and describes two new tetradrachms which show that the reign of Vonones I, hitherto assumed to date from about AD 8 to 12, must be extended to September AD 15 at least.

The author publishes an overstrike of a coin of Entella on a drachm of Athens and argues that the Campanian mercenaries who founded Entella arrived there in 410 BC, and that the overstriking took place in 410/9 BC. Circumstantial evidence suggests that Entella had become the Carthaginian military headquarters prior to the invasion of Sicily in 409, and that this was the site of the first Carthaginian ('Sicilo-Punic') mint.

This study of the reverse types, mainly on Alexandrian billon tetradrachms, and a few bronze drachms, indicates that the mint had specific plans concering which members of the imperial family should, or should not share reverses. The work is based on the standard publications. The imperial persons are Valerian, Gallienus, Salonina, wife of Gallienus, and their sons Valerian the younger, and Salonicus. Four distinct periods are recognized based on the regnal years: (1) Years 1 and 2: 253-255, only coins of Valerian and Gallienus, (2) Years 3 to 8: 255-261 coins of all the imperial family (3) Years 9 and 10: 261-263,. only coins of Gallienus (4) Years 11 to 15: 263-268, Gallienus and Salonina. Year 8: 260-61 has a unique pattern, because of Valerian's capture by the Persians, the death of Salonicus, the appearance of the usurper Macrianus under whom the mint ceased to produce coins of Valerian and Gallienus, and the restoration of Gallienus as sole emperor. Each period is treated in detail noting which reverse types were given solely to one or other of the imperial personages and which were shared. This is one of three articles. The second appears in The Journal of the Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society. Series 2, Vol. 2, No. 3 (September, 2001) pp. 135-156, and the third appears in The Journal of the Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society. Series 2, Vol. 3, No. 1 (March 2002). (Robert I. Gait)

A detailed study of the reverses on Alexandrian billon tetradrachms and bronze drachms of Philip I, his wife, and son, for the seven regnal years of Philip's reign. Some examples of the different patterns that develop are: Year 1: Ten reverses are assigned solely to Philip I and five different reverses are shared between him and his wife. Year 4: 17 reverses solely for Philip, 3 solely for his wife and 5 solely for his son. Years 5 and 6: billon tetradrachms and bronze drachms are issued and each has its own distinct pattern of unshared and shared reverses. Year 6 is different from all the others in that of the 15 known reverses on the billon tetradrachms, 7 are for Philip, 2 for him and his son, 4 solely for his wife, and 2 solely for his son. However, for the drachms in the same year there are 4 reverses solely for Philip, 2 shared by him and his wife, 3 shared by him and his son, 2 for him, his wife, and his son, 2 solely for his wife, 1 for his wife and son, and 4 solely for his son. Thus all possible permutations for the three people are present on the drachms for year 6. When the reign ended early in year 7, only unshared reverses are known; 3 for Philip, 3 for his wife, and 3 for his son. These variations of the patterns of sharing between the imperial family members relate to the changing dynastic goals hoped to be achieved during the reign. This is the second of three articles. The first appeared in The Journal of the Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society. Series 2, Vol. 2, No. 2 (June, 2001) pp. 57 - 82, and the third will appears in The Journal of the Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society. Series 2, Vol. 3. (Robert I. Gait)

Part III(a) of the third article in this series studies five reigns or joint reigns in which the Alexandrian mint struck coins for more than one imperial person. The first article discussed the House of Valerian and Gallienus and the Second dealt with the House of Philip I. Considered here are Maximinus and Maximus; Gordian I and II; Balbinus and Pupienus with Gordian III as caesar; Gordian III and Tranquillina; and Trajan Decius and his family. The pattern of issues for each reign is detailed in the same fashion as the other articles. The main criteria are whether or not the reverses are attributed solely to each person, or shared between two or more. The conclusions drawn from these patterns reflect on the status of equality or inequality of the imperial persons, and may be modified by the rarity or commonness of the respective coins, and by the events of the reigns, such as marriages, abrupt terminations, etc. This is Part III(a) of the third of three articles that appeared in The Journal of the Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society. Part I in Series 2, Vol. 2, No. 2 (June, 2001)pp. 57 - 82; Part II in Series 2, Vol. 2, No. 3 (September, 2001) pp. 135-156. Part III(b) appears in Series 2, Vol. 3, No. 2 (June, 2002). (Robert I.

Fontanille, Jean-Philippe. "The Coinage of Pontius Pilate," The Classical and Medieval Numismatic Society Journal 2.1 (March 2001), pp. 29-39, 127, illus.
Only two coin types (AE 17) were issued by Pontius Pilate in the name of Tiberius. The first is dated AD 29 and shows a simpulum with Tiberius's titles and regnal year on one side and three ears of barley and Julia's titles on the other. The second type features the lituus with Tiberius's titles on one side and Tiberius's regnal year within a laurel wreath on the other. This second coin was minted in AD 30 and reissued in 31. These coins were minted in Jerusalem and are thought to have been in wide circulation for about 35 years. The common hypothesis for the presence of the strongly Roman religious symbols on one side of these coins is that they were intended to provoke the Jewish population. The proposition in this paper is that since Pontius Pilate followed the calling of a seer or soothsayer and had advised the emperor over a period of years, these religious symbols were most likely of Pilate's choosing, without any intent to annoy the local people. In addition it appears that since Pilate's relationship with the priests was quite good, it was unlikely that he would deliberately try to annoy the people. The ears of barley and the laurel wreath motifs were neutral in their implications. Furthermore, the simpulum and lituus are very simply engraved so that on these small, poorly-struck coins, they would only be recognized by people in the know. Only thirteen of these coins are known with countermarks; 5 of them are illustrated here. the countermarks consists of a palm branch with the Greek letters "C". "CPI", or "U" probably indicating their use by a local Roman cohort of the 22nd legion stationed in the area. Why they are so scarce is a mystery. The possibility that these coins might be connected with the shroud of Turin, upon which some scholars believe that they have detected coin images is mentioned.

The coins found at the site of the church Sv. Vid in ancient Narona in Dalmatia are described. They cover the time span from the 2nd century B.C. to the 16th century - the earliest coin is a bronze of the Illyrian king Ballaios, and the most recent one is of King Ferdinand, the first Habsburg. Most of the coins are Roman Imperial, and some of them are Byzantine. The coins of the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) have been also found there. (Maja Bonacic Mandinic)

Discussed in the article is general biography of Antony and his dealings with the Armenian king Artavasdes II in relation to his attempt to subjugate the Parthians. Two silver denarii are described which depict Marc Antony and the tiara or royal headgear worn by kings of the Armenian Artaxiad dynasty. (Victor Kess)

Lake Nemi, ancient Lake Nemorensis, in the Alban Hills, has a long history, some of it mythological going back to the founding of Rome. Of significance is the sacred grove of Diana. Some of the theories relating to this cult and its origins are discussed. The numismatic connection lies with P. Accoleius Lariscolus, whose denarii (Crawford 486) are detailed including the three variations of hairstyle of the obverse goddess and the three standing figures on the reverse with a grove of three cypress trees behind. The three figures probably represent Diana as a tripartite goddess; Diana the Huntress; Luna-Selene, the moon goddess; and Hecate, goddess of the nether world. Lake Nemi was partially drained in 1928 and two huge barges, thought to be pleasure barges of the time of Caligula, were raised. These 20 x 70 metre vessels were well preserved, but unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1944. (Robert I. Gait)
