XII. THE SILVER COINAGE OF SMYRNA. (Seo Plates XVI.-XVIIL) ‘Tur following paper deals only with the main silver series struck at Smyrna—the tetradrachms and drachms of Attic weight issued during the second and first centuries B.C. In these two series it is possible, by comparison of the dies, to ascertain with a reasonable degree of probability the sequence of the magistrates responsible for the coins; and they therefore offer the best starting-point for an attempt to classify chrono- logically the whole of the autonomous issues. In a future paper I hope to deal with the much more plenti- ful, but more puzzling, bronze coinage. For the present also the other issues of silver—Sir Hermann Weber's tetradrachm of Kolophonian types, the tetradrachms of Lysimachos end of the Alexandrine series, and the cistophori—are left aside, together with the solitary issue of gold. In the list of coins given are included and numbered all the specimens of which I have been able to. obtain casts or to see satisfactory reproductions. A fow others are noted which are mentioned in catalogues but are not figured. In some cases I have suggested the identity of a specimen described in one catalogue with another of the same types, from the same dies, and of the same NUM. CHRON., VOL. XIV., SERIES IV. U2k 3. @.

There is no change in the types of the drachms, which range with the second and third series of the tetradrachms. FIRST SERIES; TETRADRACHMS.
