THE following list of coins bought on our journey may be of interest as
showing what the currency of the districts must have been. Only Greek
coins are here treated; of Roman coins it was noticed that denarii rarely
occur earlier than Trajan, after whom they become increasingly common,
while the copper hardly appears till the second quarter of the third
century.'
Where the coin has already been described in any of the British Museum
Catalogues, the Inventaire de la Collection Waddington, Imhoof-Blumer's
Monnaies grecques, Griechische Miinzen, Kleinasiatische Miinzen, or Zur
griechischen nd r6mischen Mirnzkunde references are given to those
works.2 Where the coin is a minor variety of one described in any of
these works, the reference is preceded by ' as' and followed by the point
of difference. When the coin seems to be new or to call for fuller treat-
ment the number is printed in heavy type and a description given at the
end. The provenance of each piece is added in brackets, modern nalnes
(except such as Makri, Adalia, Elmaly) being as far as possible avoided;
for example if a coin was obtained within two or three miles of a classical
site the name of the site is given.
But it must be borne in mind that a coin is often bought some way
from the place where it was found. There are three classes from whom
coins were obtained, (a) money changers and dealers in the larger towns,
(/8) people moving up and down the main roads, (ey) the peasants them-
selves. As a rule class (,8) buys from (ry) and (a) from both, so that the
information is proportionately inexact. In the districts traversed there
were three main roads, Adalia-Istanoz-Elmaly, Phineka-Elmaly and Makri-
Elmaly, and the provenance of coins bought upon them is marked
accordingly.3
1 At Kalamaki we came across what looked references have been given to Babelon's Traitd
like the remains of a hoard of Roman JE of des Monnaies and to Macdonald's Catalogue of
Gordian III., Tranquillina, Maximinus; pos- the Hunterian Collection(Hunter).

Sinope, Apamea, or Parium as the mint, but though the piece certainly
belongs to Asia Minor, the provenance of this specimen and the humped
bull of the reverse suggest the South-West. The humped bull is
never found in Europe, and not universally distributed in Asia Minor,2
occurring rarely in the North,"2but generally in Caria, Lycia, Pisidia
and Lycaonia.30 Possibly the coin is to be attributed to one of the
Pisidian colonies.
