The remaining coins are without magistrates' names, but they are dated and were all issued in the same year, TTC = 306 from the Lydo-Phrygian or Sullan Era 85--84 B.c., corresponding with 222 A.D., the year in which Severus Alexander became emperor. They are for the most part quasi-autonomous, with heads of Synkletos, Boule, &c. In this same year dated coins were also struck at the neighbouring Dionysopolis withTO=C0 from an era starting from 152---3 A.d.; cf. the coins of Laodiceia with the dates and PH=88 and 108 from an era starting from 123--4 A.d. It is probable therefore that Games were held at Laodiceia in 211--12, at Dionysopolis and by the Hyrgaleis in 221--2, and again at Laodiceia in 231--2, and that special issues of money were required for the same decennial festival, at one city or another, every ten years. The chief types of the Hyrgalean coins are the Rider-god with double-axe and hound (Z. f. N., xvii., 22); Zeus Laodikeus; Apollo and Artemis face to face (PI. xxxiii. 3); Demeter standing (PI. xxxiii. 4), and Kybele enthroned (PI. xxxiii. 5); River-god MAI AN (Iinhoof, Kl.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Greek Coins of Phrygia This volume of the Catalogue of Greek coins (the twenty-fifth of the series begun in 1873) deals with the coins of the eastern portion of the Roman Province of Asia, anciently known as Phrygia, and completes the Catalogue of all the coins of Asia Minor at present in the British Museum. In 1873, when the first volume of the Catalogue of Greek Coins was published, the collection of Phrygian Coins in the Museum was a small one, consisting only of about 700 specimens, as against 1636 described by Mionnet. The late M. W. H. Waddington, specially interested as he was in the coinage of Asia Minor, often impressed upon me the advisability of adding largely to the Phrygian series before undertaking to catalogue it. To bring it up to the required level has since been an object I have kept in view in selecting coins for purchase, and, as will be seen from the following pages, I am now at last able to catalogue no less than 2148 coins. The various sources from which all, or nearly all, the specimens have passed into the British Museum are noted in square brackets.
