PREFACE
Between

the years 1931 and 1949 the Americanexcavations in the Athenian Agora produced
55,492 coins of Roman and later periods. The catalogued entriesin this publication, ranging
in date from the last century of the Roman Republic to the declining years of the Republic of
Venice, total 37,090 specimens; the remaining Islamic and Modern Greek pieces have been
listed summarily in order that the tally may be complete. This is an overwhelming amount of
coinage, which in sheer quantity represents a collection comparableto many in the numismatic
museums of the world. Unfortunately very few of the Agora coins are museum pieces, but
lamentable as is their general condition to the eye of the coin collector or the cataloguer, they
do provide for the historian an invaluable record of the money circulating in one of the chief
cities of antiquity from the time of Sulla to our own present.
The Agora Excavations are still in progress. Coins have been unearthed since 1949 and more
will certainly result from successive years of digging until the project is at last finished. However, the area as a whole has been excavated in depth; what remains to be done is more in
the nature of a cleaning-up operation, from which coins emerge in fairly small numbers. There
is no reason to suppose that whatever is found in the future will affect the present picture to
any appreciable extent.
For the classification of the Agora coins an admirable recording system was developed by
Mrs. T. Leslie Shear, who has been in charge of the Coin Department from the beginning of the
excavation program.Each identifiable coin was given a separate envelope on which were typed
details of size, metal, provenance, date of finding, description and reference. These envelopes
were filed chronologically by excavation sections. In every case, the same information was
transcribed on individual catalogue cards, which were arrangedby emperors and types. While
the coins remain in Athens and will eventually form an integral part of the contemplated Agora
Museum,the cards were brought to this country for study purposes and are now located at the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. It is from these cards that the present publication
has been compiled.
There is no need to point out the drawbacksinvolved in working from a card catalogue with
the documents themselves five thousand miles distant. Ideally each coin should have been
checked prior to publication. An undertaking of this sort would require someone thoroughly
experienced in excavation material and able to devote several years to a slow and painstaking
reexamination. Perhaps such a person could have been found in the course of time. I confess
that my spirit quails at the very thought of going back over 3775 coins of Manuel and 1855 of
Constantius II, and it seems to me doubtful that the resulting increase in accuracy would be
commensuratewith the labor involved. Without any question there are mistakes in the present
tabulation -mistakes of identification and mistakes of transcription. Many individuals worked

at one time or another on the classification and on the records. We would all, I think, agree
that in the course of our exposure to the swollen, chipped and defaced scraps of metal which
excavations invariably produce, we at times saw things we ought not to have seen and left
unseen those things which we ought to have seen. Yet in all sincerity I do not believe that such
errors are numerous, and I am confident that those which do exist have no real significance
against a background of 37,000 coins.
The inaccessibility of the material has in some cases presented particular problems for a
detailed tabulation. Where criteria of style determine the attribution of issues identical in
type, I have, without the coins before me, been unable even to attempt a distinction between
the differentmints. Such pieces have been listed under the city supplying the greater proportion
of the Agora coinage for the period, and reference has been made in the commentary to the
possibility of an alternative mint. The amount of illustrative materialis admittedly slight. Most
of the coins are well-known types which need none, but I should have liked to reproduce all
variant and unusual specimens. Unfortunately, as will be obvious from even a cursory glance
at the plates, the condition of the average excavation piece is so bad that illustration is almost
useless. Even if it were otherwise, I could not feel justified in imposing so great a burden of
sorting, selecting and cast-making on someone else.
To offset in some measure the handicaps, I have been most fortunate in having the help of
Mrs. William P. Wallace, who spent the first four months of 1952 in Athens and who generously
offered to examine coins whose identification seemed open to question. Mrs. Wallace checked
nearly 300 pieces and her effortshave rectified some uncertain readings and verified others. The
notation "confirmed"in many sections of the commentary derives from her labors.
All of these difficulties were given careful consideration before it was decided to undertake
this tabulation. In the end it was felt by the majority of those directly concerned that the
advantages of prompt publication, even allowing for inevitable shortcomings, overbalanced the
disadvantages. With a few notable exceptions, coins tend to be the stepchildren of excavations.
Their publication, if attempted at all, is often delayed beyond the period of greatest utility.
For those now working on other Agora material and for anyone concerned with the history of
Athens, the coins provide vital evidence for the political and economic vicissitudes of the city,
evidence which cannot safely be disregarded. Bringing this fundamental material out in usable
form at the earliest possible moment has, therefore, seemed highly desirable.
The record in its entirety is here, but it cannot be overemphasizedthat it is intended primarily as a recordand not as a definitive study of the Roman and Byzantine coinage from the
Agora. It is to be hoped that whatever sections seem worthy of further research and interpretation will be expanded into special publications as opportunity arises. Attention should
also be given to the hoard material. Surprisinglyfew closed deposits of Roman and later periods
were found, and in general their chief importance was in dating the contexts in which they
were buried rather than in their intrinsic composition. Nevertheless they should be analyzed
and worked over in connection with the excavation records. In this catalogue such coins have
been included only as individual pieces without reference to their hoard associations.
For the most part the format of the tabulation is borroweddirectly from Alfred R. Bellinger's
excellent and thoroughly usable publication of the coins from Dura-Europos. Every effort has

PREFACE

been made to provide sufficient information to make the record useful without compelling the
reader to refer constantly to the standard catalogues and at the same time to compress the
data into reasonably economical limits. These considerations have influenced the seemingly
inconsistent pattern which the arrangement of the descriptive material presents for different
periods. All issues of any given emperor are grouped together in a silver, antoniniani, bronze
sequence with each category listed chronologically. The catalogue numbers of silver coins are in
italic type and the same convention has been used for plated and billon specimens. An asterisk
following a number indicates that there is some discussion of that entry in the commentary.
Unless otherwise specified, the dates and mint identifications are those of the cited reference
works. In some cases, notably with the British Museumpublications of the Roman period, the
dates suggested in the introductions are at times more specificthan those given in the catalogues
proper. Where such restricted datings seem well-established, they have been adopted in preference to broader chronological divisions. Mention has been made in the commentary of some
articles supplementing or supersedingthe general referencebooks, but undoubtedly many valuable studies have been overlooked, which would need to be consideredin any final study of the
currency.
For the later Roman period, where uncertainty exists as to the nomenclature of the various
denominations, I have followed Pearce's formula of AE1, AE2, AE3 and AE4. This equates
roughly with Cohen and Sabatier in this manner:
AE1
AE2
AE3
AE4

- Cohen GB
- Cohen MB -= Sabatier AE1
-= Cohen PB -= Sabatier AE2
= Cohen PB Q = Sabatier AE3

Such differentiationin size is, of course, only relative within any given period and not absolute
in any sense.
Mint marks have been omitted from this listing although they are recorded on the catalogue
cards. The Agora coins provide additions to the officinae striking certain types, as cited by
Maurice for the Constantinian era and by Wroth for the early Byzantine, but such additions
are of minor significance and it was felt that little useful purpose would be served by a long
and detailed record of the various officinae and their proportionate representation. Where,
however, there is a new or unusual form of the mint mark, it has been noted in the commentary.
There remains the pleasant duty of sharing whatever merit this publication may possess.
The primary credit belongs without question to Mrs. Shear and her co-workersin the Agora
whose composite labors created the overall record. Of the many Americans and Greeks who
spent months and years on the cleaning, identifying and cataloguing of these coins, I know
only a few and it would be unfair to single them out by name, but I cannot forbear a word of
appreciation to MissAziza Kokoni who worked with me in 1948 on the residue of coins from
earlier excavation seasons. Without her competent aid it would have been impossible to complete the classification of this backlog for inclusion in the tabulation. To my associates at the
Agora I should like to express my warm thanks, particularly to Miss Lucy Talcott for her
kindness in providing materials and to Professor Homer A. Thompson for the opportunity of
publishing this report and for helpful advice in connection with its contents. My debt to Pro-

INTRODUCTION
o one working over the great mass of coinage from Roman and Byzantine Athens could
fail to become interested in its numismatic and historical implications. Any comprehensive
appraisal, even had I the competence to undertake it, has no place within the confines of this
report, but mention might be made of a few noteworthy considerations,whose full significance
can best be appreciated in relation to the outline on the opposite page.'
For the most part the picture presented by the Agora coins is entirely consistent with the
history of Athens as we know it from other sources. The first Roman piece dates from the time
of Sulla; there is nothing from the earlier period of the Republic. Twelve denariihave survived
from the sixty years between Sulla and Augustus-five struck by Antony and seven by various
moneyers. Consideringthe dearth of silver coinage from the Agora, this is a sizable total, especially when contrasted with the yield of the precedingand succeedingcenturies. Of the hundreds
of thousands of New Style coins which must have been issued over the span of a hundred or
more years, the excavations revealed exactly one tetradrachmand one drachm; only six denarii
have come down from the century separating the'reigns of Augustus and Vespasian. Against
this background, the twelve denarii of late Republican date would seem to indicate a substantial amount of Roman silver circulating in Athens between 86 and 27 B.C., and the first
appearance of this money about the time of the sack of the city by the Romans is a factor
which must be taken into account by anyone studying the Athenian New Style and the Athenian Imperial sequences. Other evidence, literary and archaeological,points to a relatively rapid
recovery in Athens from the devastation of 86 B.C. During this period students from Rome
came to attend Athenian schools, and the bond between the two cities was greatly strengthened
by the visit of Pompey c. 63/2 B.C. in the course of which the Roman general made generous
gifts to individual Athenian philosophers and donated fifty talents toward the restoration of
the city (Plutarch XLII, 6). Some of this money may have been expended on the erection of
new civic offices in the Agora area, the addition of a porch to the Tholos and other building
enterprises dating from the first century B.C.

1. The archaeological material in the discussion which follows is derived from the Agora excavation reports appearing
in Hesperia (Vols. I-XX) and to an even greater extent from the observations and suggestions of Professor Homer A. Thompson, Director of the Agora Excavations. For the Byzantine period I am deeply indebted to Professor Kenneth M. Setton for
the generosity with which he has shared his knowledge of the literary sources and made available manuscripts now in process
of publication. To him I owe the reference to the inflation policy of Nicephorus III (G. Ostrogorsky, Vierteljahrschriftf.
Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte,
XX, pp. 66, 69f.) and the tentative association of the iconoclastic decrees with the scarcity.
of coinage for the eighth and ninth centuries. Much of the historical evidence relating to Byzantine Athens is drawn from
two of Professor Setton's published articles ("The Bulgars in the Balkans and the Occupation of Corinth in the Seventh
Century", Speculum, 1950, pp. 502-543 and "Athens in the Later Twelfth Century", Speculum, 1944, pp. 179-207).
While I am aware that there is a difference of opinion as to the date of the occupation of Corinth and the particular
Northern tribe which left evidence of its presence in the form of buckles found in Corinthian graves (see Corinth,XII, The
Minor Objects,p.5, note 8), it seems to me that the proportions of coinage from the Agora do substantiate Professor Setton's
arguments for a Bulgaric invasion in the mid-seventh century.
1

THE ATHENIANAGORA:COINS

For the first century of the Empire, the number of coins is insignificant although the era was
certainly one of material prosperity as is attested by the construction of the Odeion in the
Agora and the completion of the Market of Caesar and Augustus. Apparently the ordinary
requirementsof the city were adequately met by the local bronze issues, whose chronology and
proportions will be fundamental data in any final evaluation of the currency of early Roman
Athens. During the second century after Christ the Athenian Imperial coinage begins to be
supplemented to a noticeable extent by the silver and bronze of Trajan, Hadrian and the Antonines, a circumstance which undoubtedly reflects the deep interest of those emperors in
Athens and their many contributions to her welfare and embellishment. This was a period of
splendid civic enterprises: the endowment of great libraries, the erection of the Odeion of
Herodes Atticus and the completion of the Temple of Olympian Zeus. In the Agora region it
left its imprint in structural improvements to the Tholos and the Odeion and in new housing
complexes and baths on the outskirts of the market proper.
From the time of Nerva through that of Severus Alexander the coinage shows a consistent
pattern in the correlation of the coin totals with the length of the individual reigns. Under
Maximinus and his successors there is a marked increase in the Roman money in circulation,
culminating during the sole reign of Gallienus in a vast amount of coinage which is not surpassed until the time of Constantius II. One reason for this expansion of the mid-third century
must have been the tapering off and cessation of the Athenian Imperial issues; another factor
may have been the need for strengthening the city against the barbarianthreat from the North.
The high proportion for the sole reign of Gallienus is certainly to be explained by the disaster
of 267 A.D. when the Heruli overwhelmed Athens and left an appalling swath of devastation
throughout the Agora area. In the burned debris of houses destroyed during the holocaust, the
excavators have found Gallienus coins in quantity, unmistakable evidence of the haste with
which the inhabitants fled or were overcome by the invaders.
Extensive as was the damage of 267 A.D., it seems to have had, judging from the coinage,
less lasting and crippling effect on the life of the city than one might suppose. The sole reign
coins of Gallienushave been arrangedchronologicallyonly for the mint of Antioch, but of the
seventy-eight pieces from that city, Alfoldi assigns ten to the final year of Gallienus' rule and
another nine specimens to the 266-268 A.D. period. For Claudius Gothicus' short reign there
is a fair quantity of money, and the proportion for Aurelian is not greatly inferior to that for
Gallienus.
The last quarter of the third century marks a temporary recession in the monetary cycle of
Athens, followed in the course of the next hundred years by the tremendous output of the sons
of Constantine and the only slightly less impressive totals of the Valentinian-TheodosiusArcadiusera. Since Athens as a whole enjoyed a substantial measure of prosperity and academic
renown during the fourth century-the Emperor Julian being only one of many notables whose
ties with the city were close and affectionate-one might logically construe the mass of Constantinian and Valentinian coinage as proof of extensive habitation and activity in the Agora
region. Such seems not to have been the case at all. Under Probus, blocks and capitals from
the celebrated civic buildings were used in the construction of the "Valerian" Wall, a new
defense line for the city. Gradually the population withdrew behind this fortification, and for
most of the fourth century the Agora area was apparently used as a dump! Thousands of
bronzes of the Houses of Constantine and Valentinian would seem to have been tossed away
carelessly with the rubbish thrown into the abandoned marketplace.

INTRODUCTION

According to the excavation record, it was only about 400 A.D. that there was a real expansion of habitation outside the narrow confines of the "Valerian"Wall, in some instances in
areas left desolate from the time of the Herulian invasion. Construction operations involving
the Bouleuterion and the Metroon and the erection of a complex of "University Buildings" on
the site of the Odeion also date from the early fifth century. Here the numismatic evidence is
seemingly at variance with the archaeological,for after the death of Arcadius in 408 A.D. the
imperial issues show a sharp decline. The discrepancy is, I think, merely a superficial one. It
is evident that during most of the fifth century and well into the sixth the medium of exchange
in Athens consisted of the miserable "Vandalic" chips which are omnipresent in the excavations. In the light of the number found in the Agora (4796pieces) it is impossibleto maintain
any longer that all of these coins were struck by the Vandals or any other barbaricpeople. Most
of them must, as is indicated more fully in the commentary, be brought into some kind of
association with the standard imperial issues, and are probably to be regarded as the work of
outlying mints cut off from the direct supervision of the capital during the recurrentbarbarian
crises. In any case, whatever the origin of this coinage, the fact remains that it must be included in the fifth century totals if one is to establish a reasonably accurate picture of the
amount of money circulating in Athens during that period. There are then roughly 5400 coins,
imperial and "Vandalic," representingabout 120 years from Honorius to Justinian, or a yearly
average of some 45 pieces. While this representsa falling-offfrom the proportionsof the fourth
century, the decline is not so pronouncedas to conflict seriouslywith the topographicalevidence.
For the Byzantine era the coins are of special significance because Athenian history during
those centuries is often not clearly defined, but the numismatic material should now be evaluated with added caution in view of the fact that restriking becomes a common practice at
various periods. One cannot be certain how much money of any given emperorwas originally
current, since we have no way of knowing what proportionfrom different parts of the empire
was called in and reissued by a successor. Furthermore,for the early sixth century the "Vandalic" coinage must still be taken into consideration. The long reigns of Anastasius and Justinian I are represented by relatively few of the new imperial denominations. It is reasonable
to assume that the "Vandalic" pieces, many of which belong to the Anastasius-Justinian
period, continued to be used extensively and because of their comparatively slight value were
less carefully handled than the large new pieces from the imperial mints. One also wonders if
the constant pressurefrom the barbariantribes, whose infiltrations apparently extended as far
south as Attica during the reign of Justinian, may not have impoverished Athens to such a
degree that there was little need for the more valuable currency, only small change being
required for the average commercial transaction.
With Justin II there is a decided increase in the number of large flan bronzes found in the
Agora, but this seemingly reflects a deteriorationrather than an improvement of conditions in
the city. The archaeologicalevidence reveals widespread destruction in the Agora area toward
the end of the sixth century, resulting in another withdrawal of the inhabitants behind the
"Valerian" Wall; the literary tradition indicates that in 578 A.D. or shortly thereafter a
mighty horde of Slavs forced the pass at Thermopylae and descended into Attica. In all probability this Slavic invasion was the occasion for the evacuation of the Agora region, and the
Justin coins found there, some in the burned fill of buildings, are to be related to the hasty and
enforced departure of its residents.
The twenty-seven year reign of Constans II left 817 coins in the Agora, a proportionalmost
1*

THE ATHENIANAGORA:COINS

as striking as that encounteredfour centuries earlier under Gallienus. Several possible explanations are suggested by the historical record. There is good reason to believe that in the late
640's a Bulgaric army invaded Greece, attacking and capturing Corinth. The logical route of
the barbarianswould have been from Thessalonica to Athens and then across the Isthmus to
Corinth. More tangible proof that Athens and the Agora came into direct contact with the
Bulgars is provided by the remains of fire destruction dating from the seventh century and the
discovery of Bulgaric buckles similar to those uncoveredin Corinthiangraves. About 657/8 A.D.
Constans organized a relief expedition for Thessalonica, and an auxiliary force may well have
been dispatched to the aid of Athens and Corinth.Finally the emperorhimself spent some time
in Athens in 662 A.D. prior to his departure for Sicily. The large number of Constans coins
from the Agora may plausibly be associated not only with the original Bulgaric invasion but
also with the later appearance of Constans and his Byzantine soldiery in the city.
After the death of Constans II there is a long period of very scant coinage, broken only once
by the phenomenon of sixty-one coins from the two year reign of Philippicus. Some unusual
circumstance of which we have no knowledge must have been responsible for this disproportionate amount of money. The situation is all the stranger in that, prior to the Agora Excavations, the bronze I denomination of Philippicus was practically unknown and to the best of
my belief specimens have not been found in other excavations. Among the Agora coins there
are three varieties of the general I type and almost without exception they are restruck,
usually over issues of Justinian II. Because of the Athenian provenance of so many of these
coins and their scarcity elsewhere, one is tempted to suggest a local origin. Perhaps some breakdown in communications between capital and province or an attempt on Philippicus' part to
decentralize minting operations would account for Athens being permitted or instructed to
restrike money of Justinian in current circulation with the types of Philippicus.
The remainder of the eighth and most of the ninth century are almost devoid of coinage;
only thirteen specimens have survived from the 125 years between Constantine V and Basil I.
Significantlyenough there is little in the way of Agorahabitation, in the form of either structural
remains or pottery, which can be dated to the same period, and one concludes that Athens had
shrunk in area and population to little more than a village. It is a curious coincidence that the
absence of coinage in Athens occurs at just about the time that the iconoclastic decrees, so
bitterly resented by the Greek iconodules, were being promulgated. It would almost seem as
though the province were deliberately cutting itself off from the capital, but one is still hardpressed to explain how even a moderate sized community could exist for so long without
monetary replenishments.
These "Dark Ages" were not confined to Athens. At Corinth one finds the same lack of
coinage for the entire eighth century, but recovery there begins with the reign of Theophilus
(829-842 A.D.) whereas in Athens it is only toward the middle of the tenth century that the
coins reappear in quantity. The revival of prosperity at Athens may have been delayed by
incursions of the Moslem pirates who harassed the Greek mainland and islands and possibly
occupied Athens for a brief interval during the first half of the tenth century.
After the Aegean had been cleared of piracy through the efforts of Nicephorus II and John
Zimisces, Athens experienced a growth in size and population. The eleventh and twelfth centuries have left remains of extensive house foundations and pottery deposits in the Agora, and
the abundance of the coinage gives further proof of a flourishing Byzantine community. It is
during this period that the Agora coins make what is perhaps their most important contri-

INTRODUCTION

bution of a purely numismaticnature. With the 2200 anonymousissues foundin the excavations,
it has been possible to develop a chronologicalarrangementof the whole series which rests on
a firm basis of overstrike evidence. From the time of John Zimisces to that of Nicephorus III
there are 1512 anonymous pieces and 41 signed coins, a contrast which would seem to imply
that in the Greek provinces and probably throughout the empire as a whole, the anonymous
issues provided the basic currency, the named types representinglittle more than token emissions. Under Nicephorus the situation is reversed in favor of the signed money which now
appears in profusion. In the Agora, 677 named and 359 anonymous coins date from Nicephorus'
three year reign between 1078 and 1081 A.D. This proportion is unique for the entire Roman
and Byzantine period and quite inexplicable in terms of our present knowledge of Byzantine
Athens. Nicephorus, like his successor Alexius, was forced by economic crises to adopt a policy
of planned inflation involving a debasement of the currency, but this in itself would not seem
an adequate explanation of the overwhelming increase in money for this one short period.
The figures for Alexius and Manuel are even higher than those for Nicephorus but less startling because of the longer reigns. Their totals and those of Andronicus and Isaac II point to
an era of sustained prosperity throughout the twelfth century, ending with the occupation
of the city by the Franks in 1204 A.D. For the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the issues
of William of Villehardouinand the de la Roche family and later the Venetian money of Andrea
Contariniand Antonio Venier supply the city with a fair amount of currency. From 1400 A.D.
there is practically nothing until the Ottoman occupation.
Even this cursory attempt to correlate the Agora coinage with the archaeological and historical evidence illustrates the various factors which determine the survival rate of ancient
money. It is evident that peak coinages are at times a measure of the size and prosperity of the
community. When there is extensive habitation of a site over a considerablenumber of years,
as happened in eleventh and twelfth century Athens, a substantial amount of currency is
required and in the course of daily living a sizable proportion finds its way into the streets,
drains and wells of the city. It is equally clear that a sharp increase in coin totals may be the
sign of a sudden catastrophe, such as the Herulian invasion, when money and other possessions
are abandoned in a desperate effort to escape destruction. Apart from such external conditions,
the coinage statistics from any excavation naturally bear a close relationship to the intrinsic
value of the individual coins. One of the startling facts emerging from the tabulation of the
Agora material is the trifling representation of gold and silver. The 37,090 catalogued entries
include exactly one gold piece of Venice and 135 silver coins, among them plated specimens but
no billon. Over the course of fifteen centuries there certainly must have been a fair quantity
of gold and silver circulating in Athens, but when such coins were misplaced, the loss was a
serious one and the search not lightly abandoned. On the other hand the copious bronze issues
of the fourth and fifth centuries were, as contrasted with the silver or even the antoniniani,
of comparatively slight value. Their purchasing power must have been low and an individual
piece, once dropped or mislaid, would probably have seemed scarcely worth the trouble of
retrieval.
One of the major contributions of the Agora coinage is its detailed record of the mints from
which Athens derived her money at differentperiods. From Augustus through Gallienus,Rome
is naturally enough the chief, and at times the only, source of supply, although under Valerian
and Gallienusthe Asia mints are increasingly important. With Aurelian and Severina the shift
is definitely eastward- Siscia furnishing at least 55 pieces and Cyzicus 38 of 174 coins. Of

Probus' 101 specimens, 24 are from Siscia with 27 from Cyzicus; the latter mint provides over
one half of the combined totals for Diocletian and Maximianus.

The proportionsfrom Thessalonica,Constantinopleand Cyzicus give the mint nearest Athens


only a small margin over the other two. Actually for the Constantinianperiod as a whole the
major source of supply is Constantinople,with Cyzicus next and Thessalonicathird. It is only
from the time of Julian II through the reign of Arcadius that Thessalonica gains and holds
preeminence. The only surprising aspect of the general outline is the relative order of Nicomedia, Antioch and Heraclea. One would expect to find Heraclea outranking the two more
distant mints. Its small representation may indicate minor importance as a workshop or a
channeling of its output to the north rather than the south.
During the early Byzantine period the mint marks inscribed on the bronze denominations
show this relationship:

With the exception of a few Sicilian emissions, the coinage from the reign of Constans II to
the end of the Byzantine empire is attributed in its entirety to the mint of Constantinople. This
is in such sharp contrast to the number of cities striking under the Roman and early Byzantine
rulers as to seem quite incredible. Philip Griersonin the course of an article on the solidi of
Maurice, Phocas and Heraclius (Num. Chron., 1950, pp. 49-70) argues that the term "Constantinople," indicating the source of the gold coinage of the sixth and seventh centuries, must
be understood as meaning Constantinople and other eastern mints, that many of the "Constantinople" issues really belong to Cyzicus, Nicomedia and other workshops. The same situation, it seems to me, is true for the bronze of a somewhat later period. Attempts have been
made to allocate some of the bronze coinage of Constans II to a Cyprusmint and, although as
indicated in the commentary, the extent of the assignment may be untenable, the suggestion
of other sources for Constans' abundant coinage is definitely a step forward. But the need for
rearrangementis not limited to the money of Constans. Surely the copious issues of the eleventh
and twelfth centuries would have been quite beyond the capacity of any one mint apart from
considerations of economy and efficiency in distributing the currency to various parts of the
empire. As regards Athens, one would logically expect that a substantial proportion of her
coinage continued to come from Thessalonica, a city controlled by the capital at almost all
periods and still important enough in the thirteenth century to serve as the seat of an empire
established by the princes of the Byzantine royal house after the fall of Constantinople.
Any final definition of the later Byzantine mints must rely heavily on the first-handevidence
of excavation coins from diverse sections of the eastern empire. As more of this material is
made available, one hopes that the pattern will reveal itself.

COMMENTARY
ROMAN REPUBLICAN COINAGE
1 Referencesfor the Roman Republican coinage are to the recent study of EdwardA. Sydenham, The
Coinageof the RomanRepublic(London,1952), which revises the catalogueof the BritishMuseumcollection
preparedin 1910 by H. A. Grueber.
No. 1 of the Agora catalogue,a bronzeissue of Q. Titius, is assignedto the mint of Rome by Grueber
(BMC, Republic,I, p. 288, 2235). Sydenhambelievesthat Rome was the chief mintingcenterfromthe second
century down to the time of the Social War but that its output duringthe period was augmentedby the
activity of at least one other Italian mint. In his opinion,the coinageof Q. Titius was struckboth at Rome
and at the auxiliaryItalian mint.
9-12 Antony'slegionarycoins, of which five specimenshave been found in the Agora,were struck for his
naval and military forces prior to the battle of Actium. Grueber(BMC, Republic,II, p. 526, note 1) dates
the entire series32-31 B.C., attributingit to Ephesuswherethe fleet and legions werefirst assembled.
13 Various theories have been advancedregarding the dating and origin of Antony's "fleet" issues, of
which our coins are representativeexamples. Bahrfeldt, after compiling considerableevidence on known
specimensand their provenance(Num.Zeit., 1905, pp. 9-56), concludedthat the money was struckbetween
the autumn of 37 B.C. and the summerof 35 B.C., probablyaboardone or more of Antony's ships. In the
British Museumcatalogue (II, p. 510, note 1), Grueberrestrictsthe dating to 36-35 B.C. and suggests that
the mint may have been Zacynthus,a convenientport of call for vessels travellingto the East. Grant,in his
study of the early Romanbronze(FromImperiumto Auctoritas,pp. 43-45), is inclinedto attributethe issues
to Tarentumfollowingthe conferencebetween Antony and Octavianheld there in the spring of 37 B.C.
In Sydenham'svolume the coins are dated 87-36 B.C. and assignedto an Italian mint.

ROMAN IMPERIAL COINAGE


17 Grant (op. cit., pp. 102-110) argues that coins of this type must have been struck at variousmints.
Specimenshave been found in widely-scatteredsections of Asia Minorand the Balkans, including Greece;
the excavationsat Dura producedtwo pieces and those at Antiochfourteen(A.R. Bellinger,TheExcavations
at Dura-Europos,Final ReportVI, The Coins,p. 189, No. 1354),while three werefound at Pergamum(Regling, Bliitt.f. Miinzfr.,1914,col. 5679).
29 The attributionto Tarracois open to question. In a recent article (Am. Num. Soc. MuseumNotes, IV,
p. 3), C. H. V. Sutherlandstates "the worknow being done at Oxfordon the dies of Flavian sestertiiof A.D.
70-71 has shown quite conclusivelythat the so-calledcoins of the Tarracomint were actually struck at
Rome."

This coin, if correctlydeciphered,is probablyan ancient forgery. It has been recheckedbut is too broken
and corrodedfor reproduction.A similarcoin is listed in RIC, IV1, p. 246, 245 (after Cohen,IV, p. 169, 243)
but with the obverse legend ANTONINVSPIVSAVG GERM.In citing this coin in the BMC, Mattingly
remarksthat its reverselegend belongsto 214 A.D. whereasthe regularissue of doubledenariionly begins
in 215 A.D. The Agora specimen is all the strangerin that its obverse legend, which presumablyis ANTONINVSPIVSFELAVGsince the G endinghas been confirmed,dates back to a still earlierperiod.
226 Since the coin is not available,it is impossibleto tell whether it should be attributed to Rome, as
listed, or whetherit belongsto an issue with the same types and legendsassignedon the basis of style to an
Eastern mint, possiblyAntioch (BMC, V, p. 586, 338f.).
227 The Agorapiece varies slightly in that the laureatebust r. seemsto be drapedand seen fromthe front;
in the reverse field there is no star (confirmed).
229 The chronological arrangement of the coinage from Severus Alexander to Pupienus follows Pink, "Der
Aufbau der r6mischen Miinzprigung in der Kaiserzeit", Num. Zeit., 1935, pp. 12-34.
249 This issue is one of those assigned to Antioch in the RIC listing, with reference made in the introductory
text (p. 62, note *) to Pink's theory that the Eastern issues are not those of a regular mint but the work
of a company of forgers or a revolutionary party in the East (Num. Zeit., 1935, p. 14). Bellinger (Dura, VI,
pp. 131f., Nos. 1162-1167) summarizes Pink's argument and states his objections to it.

This would certainly seem to be a forgery. The obverse of Severus Alexander is coupled with a corrupt form
of the VENVS CAELESTISlegend of Julia Soaemias. The reverse type, however, is that of Fecunditas rather

than Venus. This combinationof types togetherwith the abbreviatedand misspelledlegendis most peculiar,
suggestingan imitation, but the coin does not look particularlybarbaric.Thereis a hybrid, a base denarius,
listed in the RIC, IV,, p. 94, 808, which pairs an Alexanderobverse with the usual VENVSCAELESTIS
reverse of Soaemias.
293 On one of these coins the obverselegendreadsFELIXinstead of FELas RIC, IV,, p. 48, note 297.
305-308 The distinctionbetweenthe two mints,in the case of Nos. 305, 307f., is a stylistic one- a classification which I am unable to make. No. 306 is one of a groupof coins segregatedin the RIC volume as
irregularissues, possibly of Eastern origin or the workof ancient forgers.
309f. These two pieces are classifiedas hybrids in the RIC listing. The first has a reverseof Gordiannot
paired with the usual obverse;the second has a reverse of Philip I. Mattingly suggeststhat such irregular
issues may be the products of forgers.

I cannot distinguishbetween the two mints on groundsof style. It would seem more likely that Athens
drew her supply of coinagefrom Antioch.
364

An issue at Milanis identicalin types and legends (RIC, IV,, p. 181, 205).

368 fi. The coinageof Valerianand his familypresentsnumerousproblemsin mint attributionand chronology
which are of particularpertinencefor this tabulationbecauseof the large numberof Gallienuspieces found
in the Agora. The fundamentalcataloguesfor the period are those of Otto Voetter (Num. Zeit., 1900, pp.
117-147 and 1901, pp. 73-110) and Percy Webb (RomanImperialCoinage,Vol. V, part 1, 1927). Since the
RIC volume appeared,considerablework has been done on individualmints by Alf6ldi, Elmer and others,
but there had been no recent attempt at a systematictreatmentof the entirecoinagepriorto the publication
by Robert Gobl of another section of the Vienna "Aufbau"series covering the years of the joint reign,
253-260 A.D. (Num. Zeit., 1951, pp. 8-45). A study of the 260-268 A.D. period by the same authoris now
in progress.
It has been very difficult to decide how to list the Agora coins. Many of the special studies have made
changesin mint attributionsand dates which render the RIC cataloguesomewhatout-of-date. However,
in certaininstancesthe formin whichthe new materialis presented- sometimeswith little or no illustrationtogether with the fact that some of the articles appear in comparatively inaccessible periodicals detract
from their usefulness as general reference works.
The overwhelming majority of the Agora coins belong to the sole reign of Gallienus and were struck at
Rome and in Asia. For Rome there has been no recent effort to fix the chronology of the later issues, and
in view of GSbl's forthcoming publication, it would seem pointless to go back to Voetter's work of 1900 for
more restricted datings than the general 260-268 A.D. classification. It should be noted that for the joint
reign, G6bl's dates are in most cases slightly different from those of the RIC, being generally a year later.
For the Asia mints we are fortunate in having two studies by Andreas Alfoldi ("Die Hauptereignisse der
Jahre 253-261 n. Chr. im Orient im Spiegel der Miinzprigung" in Berytus, IV, 1937, pp. 41-68 and "Die
romische Miinzpr~igungund die historischen Ereignisse im Osten zwischen 260 und 270 n. Chr." in Berytus,
V, 1938, pp. 47-91). These works, based on a hoard of antoniniani from northern Syria, have placed the
issues of the Asia mints on a firm foundation, reattributing some of the pieces assigned by Webb to Moesia
and dividing the RIC Asia category into the emissions of three separate mints. For the Asia coinage, therefore, the dates and references are those of Alfbldi's publications, with pages and numbers cited for Berytus, V
and plates for Berytus, IV since the form of the latter work makes reference to the text difficult.

COMMENTARY

91

With the exceptionof this groupof Asia mints, it has seemedbest to use the RIC referencesand to avoid
confusionby followingthe mint attributionsand datings therein given. Some of the emendationsproposed
by later writers have been indicated in the course of the commentary;for a more completelisting of the
literatureof this coinage,the readershouldconsult G6bl(op.cit., p. 10).
376-378 G6bl dates the first emissionof the Milanmint to 259-260 A.D. and includesnone of these types
in it. CONCORDIAMILIThe assigns to Rome, 253-254 A.D.; SALVSAVGG(type of RIC, V1, p. 57, 252)
to Viminacium,257 A.D.; SECVRIT
to Cologne,258 A.D.
PERPET
379-388 The dates given by G6blfor the issues of the two Asia mints are more closely definedthan those
of Alf61ldi.Bellinger ("The NumismaticEvidence from Dura", Berytus, VIII, 1943, pp. 65-67) gives his
reasons for dating the first emission at Antioch from 253 A.D. He also suggests 254 A.D. as the opening
year for the second Asia mint.
The location of this secondmint in Asia is an interestingproblem.Alf6ldi,rejectingthe earliersuggestion
of Voetter that it might have been situated at Cyzicusor Tripolis,arguesfor its establishmentat Samosata
and in this attributionhe is followedby Gobl.Bellinger,citing historicalevidencewhichmakesthat location
impossible,would place it at Emisa. Of 245 coins of Valerianfrom the Dura Excavations,43 belong to this
second Asia mint, which proportioncertainly seems too high for the identificationof the issuing mint as
Cyzicus.However, of the 38 coins of Valerianfrom the Agora, 12 were struck by this mint, as contrasted
with 8 from Antioch. Assumingthat these proportionsbear a reasonablyclose relationshipto the money
originallyin circulation,it seems strangethat a mint as remoteas Emisa shouldhave been supplyingAthens
with one-third of her coinage during the reign of Valerian. Were one consideringthe Agora coins alone,
Cyzicuswould appearto be a suitable location for the mint in question, particularlysince it was operating
a few years later under ClaudiusII. Mattingly, in fact, suggests that Cyzicuswas functioningduring the
last years of Gallienus(Num. Chron.,Ser. 5, XVI, 1936, p. 108). Possibly a further argumentfor Cyzicus
is provided by the Antioch Excavation figures where the coins of the second Asia mint outnumberthose
of Antioch, which leads Mrs. Waageto question Alf6ldi'sattributions(Antioch,IV, ii, pp. 101f.). The significant circumstanceis that later, under Diocletian and his associates,morecoins of Cyzicusthan of Antioch
itself were found in the excavations.Whateverthe final answer,it seems to me that the Agorafinds must
be taken into considerationas indicating a mint nearerAthens than either Emisa or Samosata.

No trace of the silver wash remains.

The coinageof the 1st Tetrarchy,like that of Valerianand his family,presentsa referenceproblem.Webb's
RomanImperialCoinagedeals only with the pre-reformissues; for that periodthe RIC referencesand dates
have been used. The later coinageis treated by Voetter in his catalogueof the Paul Gerin Collection(Die
Miinzender riimischenKaiser, Kaiserinnenund Caesarenvon Diocletianusbis Romulus, Vienna, 1921) and
in a series of articlesin the NumismatischeZeitschriftfor 1911, 1917, 1918, 1920, 1923 and 1925. The dates
for this post-reformperiod are those of Voetter if I have cortectly understoodhis chronologicaldivisions as
indicatedin the publicationscited above. One deviationof whichI am consciousis in respectto the beginning
of the new reformcoinage.Voetterbelievesthat it startedearlierin somemints than in others,but his special
studiesin the Zeitschriftdo not includeall mints representedat the Agora.Ratherthan presentanunbalanced
picture, I have preferredto retain the general 296 A.D. dating for the inaugurationof the reform issues
throughoutthe empire.
The bulk of the Agoramoney for the Tetrarchyperiod consists of CONCORDIAMILITVM
pieces. A few
are antoninianiof the pre-reformseries with the mark of value, XXI, in the exergue;many more belong to
an almost identical bronzeissue with mint letters above the exergualline but no mark of value below. This
new AE denominationis describedas a three-scruplepiece by L. C. West ("TheCoinageof Diocletianand the
Edict on Prices",Studiesin RomanEconomicand Social History,Princeton,1951, pp. 290-802).
738 CONCORDIAMILITVM
pieces with the K mint mark of Cyzicushave turned up in quantity in the
AntiochExcavations(Nos. 1307, 1819, 1826, 1334). Sincethey are morenumerousthan the issues of the same
type attributed to Antioch, Mrs. Waage remarks"The large numberof these coins found at Antioch casts
considerabledoubt on Cyzicusas the mint."
In this connection,however,the finds at Athens should be taken into consideration.The coin totals for
Diocletian and his colleagues from both sites are closely comparable,and the amount of CONCORDIA
MILITVM
money is also about the same:

initiated by Constantiusand Constansand remainedin use at least until 345 and perhapsas late as 348 A.D.
At that time, i. e. 348 A.D., the variousFELTEMPREPARATIO
types were introducedin celebrationof the
1,100th anniversaryof Rome. With respect to these last issues I am somewhatuncertainas to Mattingly's
exact chronology.In speakingof the FELTEMPREPARATIO
type with a warriorspearinga fallen horseman,
he suggeststhat the "PB" denominationwas probablylater than the "MB".In the courseof the same article
the abandonmentof the AE2 coinageis linked with the downfallof Magnentius,but in the Chroniclestudy
of 1946, a later date, c. 356 A.D., is given for the breakdownof Constantius'reformin the empire at large,
at whichtime the "centenionalis"- the AE2 coin- was demonetizedand only the smallerAE3 pieceremained
in circulation.
I do not believe that Mattinglyis implying that there was any considerableinterval between the first
emissionsof the FELTEMPREPARATIO
denominations.There is in the Agora a fair representationof the
smaller"fallenhorseman"issue of Constanswhich suggests that it was struck for some little time prior to
350 A.D. As to the terminationof the AE2 coinage,I shouldpreferMattingly'searlierdate, c. 353 A.D., in

1226 In the case of one coin the obverselegendis too wornto permit an exact reference.It may, therefore,
belong either to the 855-360 A.D. period, where it has been listed, or to the years followingwhen Julian

1430 Pearce (RomanCoinage,p. 35) believes that the mint of Siscia operated until about 387 A.D., at
which time it was dismantledand probablynever re-opened.Althoughmentioningexamplesof later issues,
such as SALVSREIPVBLICAE,
listed in sales catalogues as having Siscia mint marks, he feels that they
should be disregardeduntil their attributioncan be tested. The confirmedreading

1498 Pearce'snew RIC volume ends with the death of TheodosiusI in 395 A.D. Only the earlierissues of
Arcadiusand Honoriusare includedin it. One of these, SALVSREIPVBLICAE,
must surely continue after
395 at most mints. From the Agora, one-halfof the entire coinage of Arcadiusand one-quarterof that of
Honoriusare of this Victory and captive type, which seems far too high a proportionfor the comparatively
briefperiodpriorto 395 whenthe two wereAugusti.I shouldbe inclinedto thinkthat the SALVSREIPVBLICAE
issue goes on at least until 400 and possibly down to 408 A.D. TheodosiusII does not use the type, but it
does reappear under Johannes and Valentinian III.
With the coins of Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius II which date after 895 A.D., I have attempted a
chronological arrangement based on the emperors using any given type, the type itself and the form of the
reverse legend. In the case of some issues, such as those with the three emperors type or AVGGG in the
reverse inscription, one feels fairly confident that they belong to 400-408 A.D., at which time Arcadius,
Honorius and Theodosius were sharing the imperial power. Other issues, however, have no clear indication
of date and with still others the evidence is confusing. CONCORDIA AVGG (Roma seated) and GLORIA
ROMANORVM (two emperors with shields) appear under all three emperors. It is possible that the latter
type was not issued during the 400-408 A.D. period, being struck first by Arcadius and Honorius and later,
after Arcadius' death, by Honorius and Theodosius, but it seems more likely that it continued from c. 395
to 408 A.D. and was then replaced by the type with two emperors holding a globe. CONCORDIA AVGG is
an AE8 denomination. This larger flan was not used extensively by Honorius and appears only sporadically
under later emperors. Pearce (Roman Coinage, p. 106) remarks that although the AE3 piece was struck in
reduced module up to the early years of Theodosius II, it had by 423 A.D. given way entirely to the AE4
denomination. I should doubt that any of the AE3 types represented at the Agora belong after the death of

1678

Although the form of the monogram is similar to that appearing on "Vandalic" coins (BMC, Vandals,

p. 82, 123), it seems likely that the Agorapiece belongs with Zeno'sregularissues. The obverseinscription
reads DN ZENO AV (confirmed) and there is a mint mark which may be that of Thessalonica, -

"VANDALIC" COINAGE

1682 Of these 118 coins, 19 have R or RMin the exergue, sometimeswith an officinamarkin the left field
(P, S, T or E). Another 32 have only the letter in the field (P, S, T, R or E).

In this catalogueall of the minimi with crudelyrenderedlate Roman types have been groupedwith the
money of the Vandal and Ostrogoth kings under a general "Vandalic" classification. Since there is as yet
no published study of this coinage superseding Wroth's work in the British Museum Catalogue of 1911, this
seems the only feasible arrangement at the present time, but evidence now available indicates that the

attributionof all of these issuesto the Vandalicrulersof North Africais not only dubiousbut quiteimpossible,

THE ATHENIAN AGORA: COINS

Wroth'sconclusionthat the money was struckin Africawasin largemeasureinfluencedby the circumstance


that many specimenshad been found in Africa, Sicily and Italy, with few recordedelsewhere.Since then
"Vandalic"hoardshave been discoveredin Greeceand the excavationsat Athens and Corinthhave produced
these coins in quantity. One striking aspect of the excavation finds is the extent to which the "barbaric"
pieces of certain emperorsapproximateor outnumberthe imperialissues. A partial listing of the Corinthian
and Athenian coins shows this disproportionaterepresentation:

Miss Edwardsin discussingthe 95 "Vandalic"coins from the Corinthianexcavations (Corinth,VI, p. 11)


rejectsthe attributionto NorthAfricaand suggeststhat the moneywas issuedby Alaricat abandonedRoman
mints in the North and left by his Gothic followersafter the sack of Corinthc. 395 A.D. For some of the
coins found at Corinththis might be a possibleexplanation,but it wouldscarcelyaccountfor pieceswith the
types and legendsof Marcian,Leo, Zeno, Anastasiusand Justinian.
As regardsthe Agoracoins, any connectionwith Alaric'sinvasionis even less likely. The Gothic kingdid
enter Athens prior to his depredationsin the Peloponnese,but apparentlythere was no resistanceand no
extensive destruction,due possibly to the payment of tribute by the Athenians. Moreover,this transitory
occupationhad no noticeable effect on the currencyif one can judge by the numerousissues of Arcadius
and Honoriuswhich come from the excavations. Certainlyit seems improbablethat for nearly a century
the bulk of the currencycirculatingin Athens was that of the northernbarbariansrather than the official
issues of Rome and Byzantium.
After the publicationof the CorinthCatalogue,Miss Edwards workedfurther on the "Vandalic"coins,
and I believe she concludedthat many of them wereimperialemissionsoriginatingin mints on the northern
fringesof the Eastern Empire. This seems a much more plausibleexplanation,but one which perhapsdoes
not go far enough.
Some of the coins from the Agora are named pieces of the Vandal and Ostrogothkings, and others, of
extremelycrudestyle or with no knownRomanprototypes- such as the issues with the palm tree type and
those with strange monogramforms - may well be of barbaricorigin. Such coins are comparativelyrare.
The bulk of the Agora money is in the imperialtradition, distinguishablefrom the standardcoinage only
in the cruderenderingof the types and legends and in the absenceor abbreviationof mint marks.Actually
it is often difficultto decide whetheran individualspecimenbelongsin a regularor irregularcategory, and
this very uncertaintysuggeststhe output of disorganizedofficialmints ratherthan a barbariccoinage.
Duringthe fifth and the early sixth centuriesa state of political and economicchaos prevailedthroughout
the old Romanterritories.Under a successionof weak rulersthe empirewas powerlessagainst the barbarian
tribes who pillagedat will and whose forays were usually terminatednot by force but by tribute. For one
brief interval during the reign of Valentinian III, the Vandals held Rome itself. Constantinople was repeatedly
threatened and although the capital was never captured, the provinces suffered greatly. These recurrent
crises brought the empire on more than one occasion close to economic collapse. In such circumstances the
outlying mints, and perhaps to a lesser degree those of Rome and Constantinople, must have operated under
almost impossible conditions, handicapped by inadequate supplies, disrupted communications and the lack
of any strong central control. If their output was at times wretched in quality and execution, it would

scarcelybe surprising.It is even conceivablethat duringcertainperiodslarge communitieswithout imperial


mints, such as Athens and Corinth,were forced to set up makeshift workshopsand turn out small bronzes
in orderto meet their most urgent monetary needs. The recoveryof the lost provincesand the stabilization
of conditions under Justinian would, for the first time since the reign of TheodosiusI, have permitteda
fundamentalreorganizationof the mints and a closer supervisionof their activities. It was then that the
"Vandalic"issues ceased.

1713 The Agoracoin has what seems to be RDin a wreath.In the BMC there is a silver coinageattributed
to the Ostrogothic king Witigis of which one type shows a separation of the two major letters of the monogram
R~E(P1. X, 5). Sabatier illustrates a similar piece (P1. XVIII, 85) which he regards as the coinage of

Eraric, anotherOstrogothicruler. On the Sabatierplate the coin is markedAE but in the text it is classed
with the silver issues. It may be that the Agora piece once had an S above and a C below the RD monogram,

in which case it representsa bronzestrikingof Witigis or else was once a silver plated coin from which the
coating has disappeared.Like No. 1714 its conditionis too poor for reproduction.
BYZANTINE IMPERIAL COINAGE
1740ff. The earliest Byzantine bronze is undated. Although the BMC gives a careful breakdown of the
officinae in use for each issue, there seems, for the purpose of this condensed tabulation, no particular need
to identify the Agora coins in that detailed fashion. Accordingly inclusive references have been listed for the
Anastasius- Justinian period.

THE ATHENIAN AGORA: COINS

104

In 588 A.D. Justinian I began to place his regnal years on some of the bronze denominationsand this
practicewas followedby succeedingrulers.Some of these dates cannot be read on the Agora specimensbut
many of them are still visible. In cases where only a few years are involved, I have given the specificBMC
referencesand a restricteddating as related to the pieces found in the Agora. For the most part, however,
because of the numberof coins and the limitations of space, I have used inclusive dates and referencesfor
the catalogue properand have embodiedin the commentarywhatever informationexists as to the exact
years when individual coins were struck. With the money of Heracliusand ConstansII, the quantity of
coinage and its almost uniformly miserablecondition have made virtually impossible any chronological
or stylistic distinctionswithin any given issue. For those two emperorsthe referencesare inclusiveones.
In connectionwith the numerousinstances of overstriking,the earliertype is identifiedby its numberin
this catalogue.This is intended only as a generaltype referenceand does not imply that details of date and
officina are identical. When the year of the earlierstriking can be read, it has been mentionedin the commentary record.
1749 The Agora coin, otherwisecorrespondingto the Sabatierreference,has the officina mark S in the
right field. Wroth does not list this type for Justin in the BMC, but a somewhatsimilarissue with a cross
to the right of the E is attributedto the Ostrogothicking Theodoric(BMC, Vandals,p. 52, 37-40).
1750b The legibledates are as follows:years 12 (2), 15 (1), 17 (3), 18 (1), 19 (2), 20 (1), 21 (2), 24 (1), 37 (1).
1752 Years 13 (1), 23 (1), 30 (2), 38 (1).
1753 Mrs. Waage (Antioch,IV, ii, p. 153, Nos. 2112-2116) attributes the second variety of this E coinage
(BMC, I, p. 40, 146-159) to Antioch, and the number of pieces found in the excavations there would
certainlyseem to bear out her classification.
1754 Years 37 (6), 38 (1).

1765 Althoughnot includedin the Byzantine section of the BMC, this type and one following(No. 1767a)
are classifiedby Wrothin his later publicationof the Vandalcoinageas imperialissues struck for Justinian
at Rome and Ravenna.

I can find no exact parallel for this coin. Its reverse type is that of the larger denomination struck by
Justinian at Ravenna (No. 1767a), which shows a facing head on the obverse. Tolstoi (Monnaies byzantines,
P1. 26, 513) publishes a specimen from his collection with the monogram of Christ on the reverse, which is
closely comparable to the Agora piece in size and in the rendering of the obverse bust. Our coin may be only
an example of a faulty cutting of the monogram with the loop omitted. On the other hand it may represent
a smaller denomination of the published *: type, in which case Wroth's suggestion that the indication of

denomination,I, is embodiedin the reverse type would be unlikely.


1770 One coin has O in front of the E, a variety not given in the BMC, but recordedby Mrs.Waage(Antioch, IV, ii, p. 156, No. 2153).
It is interesting to note that over one-quarter of Justinian's coinage in the Agora consists of the 6 denomination with a monogram on the obverse. In discussing the mint issuing this type, Wroth (BMC, Byz., I,
p. 72, note 2) comments on the irregular flans which resemble those of the smaller AE of Thessalonica but
hesitates to make a definite attribution inasmuch as the 5 nummia denomination does not fit easily into the
system of division predominating at that mint. It seems to me, however, that the Agora proportions furnish
strong evidence for a striking at Thessalonica, certainly the most convenient source of supply for Athens and
a mint which was providing the bulk of the city's coinage a few years later under Justin II.

COMMENTARY

On the other hand it shouldbe noted that Mrs.Waage,who assigns the type to Justin II, reports54 specimensfrom Antioch, which leads her to suggest a local origin. It may well be that the strikingof this small

associated with the obverse types belong not to the emperorHeraclius but to his father, the exarch of
Africa,who was the moving spirit in a rebellionagainst Phocas whichbeganin 608 and lasted until the son's
accessiontwo years later. In all likelihood,then, this Agorapiece was struckin the name of the consul Heraclius between 608 and 610 A.D.
1817a The obversetype is that cited in the BMC (p. 284) for an M denominationissued at Carthage.
1817c Four restruck:one over TiberiusII.
1818a In publishinga hoardof 74 bronzecoins of ConstansII found at Soli (NordiskNumismatiskArsskrift,
1940, pp. 135-147), AlfredWestholmsuggeststhat certainissues were struck in Cyprusat the mint of Constantia. The series in question are five in number:
1) M with KVlTPin exergue (BMC, pp. 222f., 269-274, attributed by Wroth to Heraclius.
Not in the Soli Hoardbut in an earlierCyprusfind)
with
KAN to left and CTAN to right (OurNo. 1818f; five in the Soli Hoard)

figuresand CON in exergue (OurNo. 1818i; not in the Soli Hoard but in the
earlierCyprusfind and presumablyto be connectedwith Nos. 8-4)
It is not entirely clear to me whether or not Westholm believes that all of the Soli coins, with the exception
of one Cyzicus piece, were minted in Cyprus, but I think he must be referring only to the types listed above.
If this is the case, 10 of his 74 coins are, according to his theory, of local origin. In the Agora the same types
are represented by 151 pieces: 68 of No. 2, 88 of No. 8, 40 of No. 4 and 5 of No. 5. This is nearly one-fifth
of the 817 coins of Constans found in the Athens excavations.

While it does seem evident that the coinage of Constansand of other later Byzantine emperorsshould
be divided among more mints than Wroth lists, I should hesitate to accept Cyprus as a major source of

supply for Athens. On the surfaceat least, it also seems strangethat duringa relatively short time, the mint
of Constantia should be using markings as diverse as KVTP, KCNCTAN and CON. There can be no question
of the origin of the KVfTPpieces, whether one assigns them to Heraclius or to Constans, and one could perhaps
make out a case for the attribution of the KL)NCTAN coins to Constantia since Cyprus apparently favored
Greek letters and the unusual form and arrangement of the mint mark might reflect an attempt to distinguish

the provincialworkshopfrom that of Constantinople.I find it hard to believe, however, that CON on the
bronze coinage was intended for any mint other than that of the imperial capital.
Westholm speaks of Arab raids on Cyprus during the reign of Constans as isolating the island from the rest
of the Greek empire and thus fostering a local coinage. Such a situation would make it all the more difficult
to explain how so much money from a Cyprus mint found its way to Athens.

COMMENTARY

107

Among the 119 coins of No. 1818a there are a numberwhich show deviations from the standardtype,
notably in the substitution of a K for the crossabove the m and in variant renderingsof the reverse inscription and numerals.The Agora pieces, however, are not as badly blunderedas the coins cited in the
BMC (p. 270, note 1) which Wroth thinks may be Syrian imitations.
Nearly one-quarterof the specimensof this first group (27 in all) are restrikes.Of the identifiableundertypes, eight belong to Heraclius(No. 1807b for two, 1807c for four, BMC, Nos. 204f. for one) and three
are issues of Constans.Of the latter, one is recordedas type No. 1818h, but it seems likely that in this case
the first and secondstrikingshave been confusedunless No. 1818a extends over a longerperiodor No. 1818h
begins earlierthan Wroth believes to be the case.
1818c Ten restruck:one over Heraclius(No. 1808) and one over ConstansII.
1818d Eleven restruck:two over ConstansII. For one of these coins this is the third impression,the type
having been struck over No. 1818a under which is No. 1807b, year 20, of Heraclius.
1818e Five restruck: one over Heraclius.
1818f Five restruck: two over Heraclius (Nos. 1807b and 1812c).
1818g Nine restruck: four over Constans II (No. 1818a for one, No. 1818c for one and No. 1818h for
one, which last was in turn struck over No. 1818e). The striking of No. 1818g over 1818h would indicate
that the latter issue began before 663/4 A.D., probablyin 659 when Heracliusand TiberiusbecameCaesars,
a date which Wroth mentions as a possibility (BMC, p. 283, note 1).
1818h Seven restruck:one over Heraclius(?), two over ConstansII.
1819a-b. This K type is not describedin Sabatier,Tolstoior the BMC. One variety (No. 1819a) is, I think,
the same as a specimenillustratedin the last catalogue(Pl. XXXII, 14). Theexamplesknownto Wrothwere
too defacedfor completeidentification(cf. p. 286,Nos.258f.). Two of the Agoracoins,however,have a variant
obversetype with a standingfigure(similarto BMC, P1. XXXI, 18) instead of a bust of Constans.
All reverses have N to the left of the Kwith variousmarkingsto the right and below, which seem to read
A

as follows:
Bust type -

ir (?) to r.; XXI(?) to r.; N to r., Kto r. on obverse(restruck);N to r. (restruckPLATE 3); N to r., K to r. on obverse; N to r.; N to r., ]IZ below.

The dating for this issue, as suggestedin the tabulation, correspondswith that given by Wroth for the
M denominationswith ANA to the left, which he places ahead of the issues with ANNO. However,if XXI
does appearon one coin and is intended as a date, the type was still being struckin 661/2 A.D.
1819c Twelve restruck: five over Constans II (No. 1818c for one, No. 1818f for one and No. 1818g for
a third).
1820
1823a

One is a restriking.
Since Constantine's dated issues indicate the year by Roman numerals, the B beneath the K on this

coin is presumablyan officinar


letter, and one wonderswhat purposewas served by placing ANNO on the

reverse. The M denomination with which this K issue seems to belong is dated by Wroth 688/4 A.D.; our
coin may be of the same period.
1823b

One piece was struck over a coin of Constans II (No. 1818a).

1824 The obverse of one specimen has a variant bust (as Tolstoi, p. 829, 139f.) with Constantine holding
the globus in his right hand. Of the others, five are restrikes (one over Constans II, No. 1818h).
1825a

The second coin in the Agorais the same except that it has B below the K on the reverse.
This type is a variant of that listed in the standardcatalogues(No. 1829a). The obverseresemblesthe gold
and silver issues of Justinian (BMC, P1. XLI, 4f.) in the representationof two busts supportinga cross

1830 The catalogueand discussionin Hesperia,IX (pp. 358-369) deal with forty-fourcoins of Philippicus
from the Agorawhich had been identifiedpriorto 1940. Since then an additionalseventeenpieces have been
attributedto the same emperor.All but three of the sixty-one specimensgive clear indication of restriking.
Thirty-nineare over the K denominationof JustinianII (No. 1829a) with two showingtracesof a still earlier
type - an M issue of Justinian (No. 1828) for one and possibly TiberiusIII for the other. One piece seems to
have been struck directly over an M coin of Justinian (No. 1828) underwhich may be an I denominationof
ConstantineIV (No. 1824). Four coins, apparentlymules, show no trace of the I reverse of Philippicusbut
have what seems to be the standard K reverseof Justinian.
1831 Two restruck:one over another K piece, either of Anastasiushimself or one of his predecessors.
1832 All of these coins have been restruck: one over ConstansII (No. 1818h), twelve over Justinian II
(No. 1829a) with three showingan earliertype whichin one case may be an M denominationof TiberiusIII

One coin of each issue shows evidence of restriking.


In one case an undertype of Basil I (No. 1846) is visible.

1852 Eighteen restruck: one over Basil I (No. 1846), eleven over Leo VI (No. 1849), one over Constantine
and Zoe (No. 1851).
1853 Seventy restruck: two over Leo VI (No. 1849), fifty-five over Romanus I (No. 1852) with four
showing the earlier undertype of No. 1849.
The large number of coins of this type found in the Agora suggests that the issue extended over a longer
period of time than the January to April 945 A.D. dating given by Wroth (BMC, p. 462). I should be inclined
to consider it contemporary with the coinage of Constantine and Romanus II, which was struck between
945 and 959 A.D. after the death of Romanus I. The strongest argument against its dating any earlier is
that this Constantine bust type is commonly found impressed on flans of Romanus I.
1854 Fifteen restruck: one over Leo VI (No. 1849), ten over Romanus I (No. 1852), two over Constantine
(No. 1853).

This Agoracoin is a fifth specimenof an extremelyrareissue discussedrecentlyby Philip Grierson(Num.


Chron.,Ser. 6, X, 1950, pp. 305-311) and tentatively attributedby him to the pretenderNicephorusBryennius. Therecan be no doubtthat ourcoinbelongsto this seriesalthoughcertaindetailsof the piecesillustrated
by Griersondo not showup clearlyon the Agoraexample.The upperbar of the patriarchalcrossis perceptible
only to the imaginationand the pellets which terminatethe arms are indistinct; on the other hand the arrangementof the pellets at the top of the cross is?more sharply definedthan is the case with the other
specimens.
Griersonhas made out what seems to me a thoroughlyconvincingargumentfor the attribution to NicephorusBryennius,duke of Durazzo,who took the imperialtitle at Trajanopolislate in 1077 A.D. and subsequently gained control of Macedoniaand Thrace.He was never in possessionof Constantinople,and his
powerlasted for only a shorttime beforethe revolt was put downin 1078A.D. by NicephorusIII. As Grierson
has pointedout, the style of the knowncoins, and this appliesalso to the Agoraspecimen,makes it doubtful
that they issued from the Constantinoplemint. The two pieces whose provenanceis recorded come from
the Sparta Excavations and from the AthenianAgora,which would accordwell with a workshopin North
Greeceset up by the pretender.On the evidenceof overstriking,the 1077-1078A.D. dating is highly satisfactory. The Agoracoin used a flan of MichaelVII, while a specimenin the Griersoncollectionwas restruck
with dies of an anonymousissue (our No. 1872) which, as will appearlater, seems definitely to have been
the coinageof NicephorusIII.
1862 Of these coins 264 have been restruck:one over No. 1864, one over No. 1865, three over No. 1867,
three over No. 1867, 1868 or 1869, four over No. 1867 or 1869, one over No. 1869 underwhich is No. 1865,
four over No. 1870 underone of which is No. 1867 or 1869, one hundredand six over No. 1871 with twelve
of these showingan earlierstriking (No. 1859 for one, No. 1860 for one, No. 1867 for one, No. 1867, 1868
or 1869 for seven, No. 1869 for one and No. 1870 for one), four over No. 1871 or 1872, twelve over No. 1872
with three having an earlier undertype (No. 1864 for one, No. 1871 for two with No. 1867 or 1869 under
this), thirteen over an uncertain anonymous type.
1863-1875 In 1928 Alfred R. Bellinger made a highly important contribution to the study of the Byzantine
coinage in his revision of Wroth's attributions of the anonymous issues, notably in the dating of the various

classesand the reclaimingof many of them for the imperialmint. WhereasWrothhad relied chiefly on style
and a correspondence between signed and anonymous types, Bellinger was able to draw on the Corinth
Excavations material and to make his arrangement on the evidence of overstrikes and a correlation between
the length of reign of the various emperors and the amount of coinage found at Corinth. Since his study was
published (Num. Notes and Monog., 85, pp. 1-27) a series of articles by P. D. Whitting and C. H. Piper in
Seaby's Coin and Medal Bulletin for 1949-1952 has added valuable data on overstrikes, and the amount of
available material has been vastly increased by the classification of 2285 coins of the anonymous category
from the Athenian Agora.
This extensive new material entirely confirms Bellinger's sequence of classes, with one important exception,
but indicates that certain changes must be made in the attribution of those classes to individual emperors.
Let us look first at the record of overstriking on the Agora coinage, supplemented in some instances by

THE ATHENIAN AGORA: COINS


CLASS L

No restriking

(Bellinger: Class XIII)

It should be noted at this point that there are publisheddescriptionsof overstrikeswhich directly contradict the arrangementoutlined above. While they cannot be ignored, their value as evidence must be
assessedwith considerablecaution. The study of restrikingsis often a difficult and hazardousundertaking,
as anyone who has workedwith this coinagewill agree. On some of the Agorapieces there are at least four
successiveimpressionswhich producein many instances an extremely confusedand puzzlingrecord.Even
when the overstrikesare fewer,it is not always easy to tell whichwas the first and whichthe secondstriking,
particularlyif the specimenis in a poorstate of preservation.For the chronologicalsequenceof the anonymous
issues it is the weight of the evidenceas a whole which must be decisive; when one coin is in conflictwith a
considerablebody of other evidence, it may be assumedwith reasonablesafety that that individual piece
has been misread.
Whitting and Piper (Seaby's,1951, p. 198) mentiona possibleoverstrikeof CLASSE on MichaelVII. The
writersthemselvessay that the evidenceis slight, and thereis amplereasonon the basis of the Agoramaterial
to date CLASSE long beforethe reign of Michael.With regardto CLASS G, Whitting and Piper (Seaby's,
1950, p. 530) cite two coins in the British Museum,one of which has this type struck over ConstantineX
or MichaelVII and the secondthe same over MichaelVII. On the first coin apparentlynot enoughremains
of the originalstrikingto make identificationcertain. Since eleven Agorapieces have CLASS G over Constantine X, one may supposethat the first Londonspecimenis anotherexampleof the same sequence.The
second coin is more of a problemin that the identificationis more specific.Thereis no illustrationbut the
pieceis describedas showingpart of the legendof the Michaelnamedtype, the distinctivecoverof the Gospels
on the reverse, and the line of pellets which forms part of the crownon the coinageof Michaeland also of
ConstantineX. Actually both the pellets and the Gospelscover are very similarfor the issues of these two
emperors,andthe two legendshave someletters in common.Since there are three coins recordedelsewhereas
having the signedtype of RomanusIV over CLASSG, it seemsmost unlikelythat the latter couldhave been
impressedon a flan of Michael.Onthe otherhand,judgingby the evidencepresented,it is quite possiblethat
the secondLondoncoin like the first is an instanceof CLASSG over ConstantineX*. For CLASSH there are
three publishedoverstrikingswhich are at variancewith the ordersuggestedabove. De Saulcy(Numismatique
des Croisades,P1. XIII, 2f. - of which No. 2 seemsto be the samecoin illustratedin SabatierII, P1. LIX, 2)
has two specimenswhich from his descriptionwould representCLASSH struck over NicephorusIII. However, the line drawingshowson the one side of the coin a clearobverseof Nicephoruswith only a few blurred
traces of anothertype, and furthermorethe piece correspondsin size to the anonymousissue but is too large
for Nicephorus'named coinage when the latter makes use of new flans. There seems to me little question
that the Nicephorustype is over not under CLASSH, a sequenceconfirmedby 106 coins from the Agora.
Anotherexampleof ClassH over Nicephorusis cited as being in the British Museum(NNM, 35, p. 8), but
R.A.G. Carsonreportsthat no specimenthere showsthat orderof types. In furtherconfirmation,P.C. Whitting informsme that he has found no exampleof CLASSH over Nicephorusamongthe many coins he has
examined,whereashe has two specimensshowingthe Nicephorusover CLASSH sequenceso commonin the
Agora. Schlumberger (Numismatique de l'Orient latin, p. 277) speaks of possessing an example of CLASS H

struck over CountRoger of Sicily. He does not specify whetherit is Roger I or II, but both rulerspostdate
Nicephorus III whose coinage, as mentioned before, frequently uses flans of CLASS H.
CLASS A-1 (John I and Basil II with Constantine VIII, 969-989 A.D.)
There can be little doubt that these are the first coins of the anonymous series. The similarity of the flans
to those used by Nicephorus II and the large proportion of overstrikes on the issues of that emperor indicate
unmistakably that these small flan pieces are the coins with pious types which, according to John Scylitzes,
were introduced by John Zimisces. Bellinger divides CLASS A into three groups: small flan (NNM, 85,
P1. I, 2) struck by John from 969 to 976 A.D., intermediate flan (NNM, 85, P1. I, 3) struck by Basil II and
Constantine during the early part of their reign down to the suppression of the revolt of Bardas Phocas in
* After this
study had been completed, I received word from Mr. Whitting to the effect that after three careful
examinations of the coin in question, he is now convinced that the undertype belongs to Constantine X and not to
Michael VII.
I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my deep appreciation to Mr. Whitting, with whom I have had pleasant and profitable correspondence on matters "anonymous."

989 A.D., large flan (NNM, 35, P1. I, 4-6; our CLASS A-2) struck by Basil and Constantine,Constantine
alone, and RomanusIII from 989 to 1034 A.D.
With the division into three sections and the dating of the first two varieties I am in completeagreement.
Unfortunatelywhen the Agoracoins were classifiedthere was no attempt to distinguishbetween the small
and intermediateflan pieces and indeed, consideringthe condition of the coins, no such distinctioncould
safely have been made in many cases. I am, therefore,unableto give definitefiguresfor the coinageof these
two groups,but the total (104 pieces) can be satisfactorilyrelated to the twenty year period to which they
are attributed.
CLASS A-2 (Basil II with Constantineand ConstantineVIII alone, 989-1028 A.D.)
This and CLASSL are the only anonymousgroupswhich appearin the Agorawithout tracesof restriking.
The good new flans of increasedsize point to a reorganizationof the currencywhichwould accordwell with
an era of prosperityafter the suppressionof the rebellionin 989 A.D.; the wide variety of ornamentation
(cf. NNM, 35, pp. 11-18) and the extent of the coinage (519 specimensfrom the Agora)alike indicate that
it was struck over a considerableperiod of time. In discussingthis class, Bellingerremarksthat it should
logically stop with the sole reign of ConstantineVIII with the totally differentissue of CLASSB belonging
to RomanusIII who introduceda new gold type and might, therefore,be expectedto changethe type of the
bronze as well. However, the sequenceof classes as outlined in NNM, 35 left Bellingerno alternative,in
reconcilingthe amount of coinage with the length of the individual emperor'sreign, but to concludethat
CLASSA-2 continuedto be struckunderRomanus.New evidencenow indicatesthat one shift must be made
in Bellinger'ssequence,under CLASSD below, and this rearrangementmakes the attributionof CLASSB
to RomanusIII not only logical but feasible. I would then assign CLASSA-2 to Basil II with Constantine
and to Constantinealone,limitingits emissionto that 89 year period.
CLASS B (RomanusIII, 1028-1034A.D.)
The evidenceof overstrikingestablishesthis class as the immediatesuccessorof CLASSA-2 and it will, I
think, be increasinglyclear as the chronologicalpattern develops that it can with completeplausibilitybe
ascribedto the reign of RomanusIII.
CLASS C (MichaelIV, 1084-1041A.D.)
Restrikesalso fix this class in sequencedirectly after CLASS B, and, therefore, make it the coinage of
MichaelIV.
CLASS D (ConstantineIX, 1042-1055A.D.)
CLASSD brings us to the one alteration requiredin the NNM, 85 order.At the time that article was
published there was no available evidence on overstrikeswhich firmly related CLASS D to other issues.
AlthoughBellingerstates that it could conceivablyhave followedCLASSC, he favoredthe sequence:C, E,
F, D. In adopting this sequence,he was compelledto abandonthe logical arrangementoutlined above, a
chronologywhich he would himself have preferred,for the followingreason. CLASSE is a minor issue
(1 found at Corinth,18 at the Agora).Assumingthat it came directly after CLASSC, it would, accordingto
the normalpattern, belong to the long reign of ConstantineIX. This would be manifestlyan absurddistribution of the coinage and in orderto avoid it, Bellingerwas under the necessity of assigningCLASSE to
one of Constantine'ssuccessors,bringingCLASSC down to Constantineand shifting, in consequence,the
chronology of the preceding classes.
The two overstrikes published by Whitting and Piper (Seaby's Bulletin, 1951, pp. 143 and 145) change the
entire picture. CLASS D must follow CLASS C, with CLASSES E and F succeeding in that order. With this
rearrangement, CLASS D provides an adequate representation of coinage for Constantine IX and it, therefore, takes its place exactly whereit shouldbelongin an orderlychronologicalsequence.
Even without the crucial evidence supplied by Whitting and Piper, the overstrike pattern of the Agora
coins would strongly suggest D-E-F as the correct arrangement. It will be noted from the detailed outline
of restrikings that for the various anonymous classes, the vast majority of restruck pieces use flans of the issue
directly preceding: CLASS B with 48 restrikes has at least 85 over CLASS A-2, CLASS C with 44 restruck
pieces uses 27 or more flans of CLASS B. One would then expect CLASS D, with 31 out of 55 overstrikes on

flans of CLASSC, to follow immediatelyafter that class in point of time. It is gratifyingto have proofthat
this is in fact the case.
To some extent considerationsof fabric and technique substantiate the new position of CLASS D. Its

workmanship and its flans are somewhat better than those of CLASSES E and F. Furthermore, there is a
minor detail of the reverse type which may be significant. The reverses of all three classes have the same

THE ATHENIAN AGORA: COINS

three-lineinscription.On those of CLASSESD and E the decorativemotifs above and belowthe inscription
are identical, with CLASSF there is a slight variation. Taken in conjunctionwith the other evidence,this
would seem to indicate that the reversetype came in with CLASSD, was carriedover without change for
CLASSE, and then alteredslightly with the introductionof CLASSF.
CLASS E (Isaac I, 1057-1059A.D.)
This issue, found over CLASSD and under CLASSF, presentsno problemof sequence,but there is considerabledoubt as to the reign to which it belongs. As we shall see later, CLASSF is the coinage of Constantine X, which means that CLASSE must be fitted in betweenthe reigns of ConstantineIX and X. The
choice embracesTheodora,MichaelVI and Isaac I. Up to this point the anonymousseries has followed a
regularpatternwith each rulerfrom John ZimiscesthroughConstantineIX representedby a new or a varied
type. Strictly speakingthere are two exceptions: MichaelV and Zoe with Theodora.In both instances the
reigns are short ones, three and two months respectively.For the two empressesthere is no known coinage
and for Michaelonly one gold issue which may actually, as Wrothpoints out, belongto MichaelIV. Onehas
no hesitationin omitting them fromthe list of rulersstrikinganonymoustypes. The situation as regardsthe
later periodis different.Theodorareignedfor eighteen months, MichaelVI for one year and Isaac for two
years. All struckgold;Theodoraand Isaac strucksilver as well. Any one of them couldhave struckCLASSE.
My feelingis that Isaacis the likeliestcandidatein that his reignwas the longestand also the latest. Onemight
assume that the extensive anonymouscoinageof the emperorsthrough ConstantineIX providedsufficient
bronzefor Theodoraand Michael.By the time Isaac came to the thronethere was presumablya substantial
amountof anonymousmoney still in circulation;the new issuewhichhe put out was little morethan a token
coinageif one can judge fromthe numberof specimensthat have survived.
CLASS F (ConstantineX, 1059-1067 A.D.)
On the evidenceof 23 out of 40 restrikes,this issue followsimmediatelyafter CLASSE. Earlierthan Constantine X it cannot be since there is a specimenof CLASS F struck over a named piece of Constantine
(Seaby's,1951, p. 192). CLASS G, which is clearlythe coinageof RomanusIV, occursover CLASSF and to
an even greater extent over the signed issues of ConstantineX, all of which points to the attribution of
CLASSF to Constantine.
CLASSG (RomanusIV, 1067-1071A.D.)
The only explanationfor the occurrenceof CLASS G underand over signed coins of RomanusIV is that
this anonymousissue is his, a dating confirmedby the high proportionof its restrikesover the namedcoinage
of ConstantineX, his predecessor.
CLASS H (MichaelVII, 1071-1078 A.D.)
This is the only anonymousgroup for which the overstrikingevidence is not clear cut. In every other
instance the highest percentageof identifiablerestrikesinvolves the anonymousor signedissues of the reign
immediatelypreceding.However,106 Agoracoins of NicephorusIII were struck over CLASSH and in one
instance at least the CLASSH type was impressedon a signed piece of MichaelVII. Further support for
the attribution of this class is providedby the large numberof coins of CLASSI, which belongs to NicephorusIII, struck over namedpieces of Michael.
CLASS I (Nicephorus III, 1078-1081 A.D.)
In view of the appalling quantity of signed coinage of Nicephorus III found in the Agora, one hesitates to
attribute another 359 specimens of CLASS I to the same three year reign, but I can see no alternative. One
has on the one hand 32 coins of CLASS I struck over signed flans of Michael VII and 2 over signed flans
of Nicephorus;at the same time there exist 12 signed pieces of Nicephorusand 2 of Alexius struck over
CLASS I. There seems no way of escaping the assignment of this common anonymous issue to Nicephorus III.
CLASSES J, K and L (Alexius I, 1081-1118 A.D.)
The occurrence of J over I and K over J leaves no question as to the order of these classes. Both J and K
are used as flans for the signed coinage of Alexius I so the issues must be his or those of Nicephorus. Apart
from the fact that Nicephorus is already more than adequately represented in surviving money, a consideration of greater significance is the frequency with which CLASSES J and K appear over his signed coinage, a
pattern which has hitherto indicated that the anonymous pieces of the second striking belong to a later
emperor. I should be inclined to attribute both classes to Alexius' long 37 year reign. For CLASS L there
are only two coins and no evidence of restriking; in all probability it too was struck by Alexius.

COMMENTARY

115

With the anonymousseries as outlined above, we have then a clearlyinterlockedsequencerunningfrom


John Zimiscesthrough Alexius I, with every reign, except those of Theodoraand MichaelVI, represented
by a separateanonymousclass whose proportionsas found in the Agorashow a reasonablecorrelationwith
the length of the individualemperor'sreign. The patternof restrikesis highly consistent,one class providing
the bulk of the flans for the restruckissues of the class immediatelyfollowing.As later emperorsbegan to
put out both signed and anonymousmoney, one finds, as is completelylogical, that as a new rulercame to
the throne,he tended to drawhis predecessor'ssignedissues from circulationby overstrikingthem with his
own anonymoustype. Therewas less compulsionto withdrawanonymouspieces which carriedno indication
of the strikingauthority and such money was seeminglyleft to circulateuntil such time as a need for flans
arose. It was then calledin and restruckwith the signed types of the currentruler.
Any considerationof the anonymousissues raises questions as to why these types were introducedand
what purposethey servedfor over a century,first as a substitute for and later as a supplementto the signed
bronze coinage. To these questions I can suggest no plausible answer. The evidence from the Agora does,
however,offerthe strongest substantiationfor Bellinger'sbelief that CLASSESH to L were issues of the
imperial mint rather than money of the Crusadersstruck in Syria and Palestine (as suggestedby Wroth,
BMC, p. 554). If the revised chronologypresentedhere is correct,the first two classes (H and I) which bear
the cross device on the reversecan have no connectionat all with the Crusadessince they were struck by
MichaelVII and NicephorusIII. ConceivablyCLASSJ with the crossrestingon a crescentcouldreferto the
strugglebetweenthe Christianand Islamic worlds.If so, it dates some years after the beginningof the reign
of Alexius.
1877 One of these coins (illustratedon PLATE 3) has on the obverse a crudelytenderedfigureof Christ
seated on a throne with high back and on the reverse a cross of equal limbs terminatingat the base in a
floral pattern, with W30 in the upper angles. Two other pieces (correspondingto Sab. II, p. 286, 6) show
a similarrepresentationof the seated Christobverseand on the reversea jewelledcrossreposingon a crescent.
Sabatierattributes this type to the Latin emperorsof Constantinople,but Schlumberger(Numismatiquede
l'Orientlatin, p. 274) doubts that they struck coinage.I think this type is more likely a barbarousimitation
composedof elementsof three anonymousclasses- D, C, and J.
A fourth Agoraimitation has again a seated Christobverseand as a reversetype, a crosswith IC XC in
the lowerfield and possibly NI KAin the upper (for a somewhatsimilartype cf. NNM, 35, P1.III, 7). The
final type is that of a Christbust on the obversewith the reverseimpressionof a cross with prongedends
betweenthe armsof which are pellets or blunderedletters.
1878 This is a scyphate piece of billon.
The arrangementof the coinage of Alexius differs somewhatfrom that of the BMC, where there is no
indication, however, that Wroth intended a definitive order of strikings. The restrike evidence from the
Agorainsofar as it is specificis as follows: No. 1883 - one probablyover No. 1880; No. 1886 - three over
No. 1883, one over No. 1887; No. 1887 - eight over No. 1883 (to which can be addedanotherexamplein the
BMC), one over No. 1880, seven over No. 1886. This suggestsas the orderof issue: standingAlexius,Alexius
bust, Virgin, and finally the cross types. Without doubt some of these issues were concurrent,which would
explainthe occurrenceof one specimenof No. 1886 over No. 1887, as contrastedwith seven examplesof the
reverseorder of strikings.
It is interestingto note that whereasNos. 1883, 1886 and 1887 appearover anonymousissues of Alexius,
there is no instance of one of the latter over a signed type, which would seem to indicate, as in the case of
the anonymousseries as a whole, that the namedissues of any given emperorwere struck slightly later than
his anonymouscoinage.
1880 One restruck.
1882 One restruck.
1883 Twenty-one restruck:one over No. 1874, one over uncertainanonymoustype, one probably over
No. 1880.
1885 One restruck.
1886 Twenty-fiverestruck: three over No. 1873 with No. 1862 under one, three over No. 1874, four over
Alexius (No. 1883 for three, No. 1887 for one).

THE ATHENIAN AGORA: COINS

1887 Fifty-two restruck: two over No. 1872, two over No. 1874, two over uncertain anonymousissue,
sixteen over Alexius (No. 1880 for one, No. 1883 for eight, No. 1886 for seven).
1888 One restruck.
1889 Both restruck.
1890 Miss Edwards (Corinth,VI, p. 142, note 2) has a similarmule combiningthe reversesof these two
popularAlexiusissues. She suggeststhat the Corinthpiece is of barbarousorigin and the same may be true
of the Agoraspecimen.I have not been able to reexamineit, but the recordon the card makes no mention
of a barbaricappearance.Whileone cannotruleout the possibilitythat such muleswereimitationsof imperial
issues, it seems to me quite likely that many of them were simply the result of hasty and carelessstriking.
Muchof the bronzecoinageof ConstansII, which was issued in such abundance,is characterizedby variant
and irregularinscriptions.One can, I think, assumethat in generalthese were officialissues - that the mint
was workingunder pressureso great that there was no properscrutiny of the output and coins of slipshod
workmanshipwere allowedto pass into circulation.At a later period under Alexius, John and Manuelone
finds a similarlycopiousand poorly struckcoinage, and it is then that the mules begin to appearwith some
frequency:two for Alexius (includingthe anonymouscombinationof CLASSES J and K, No. 1876), two
for John and twenty-threefor Manuel.Also with Manuel'sissues there are other deviations of lesser importance, such as the transpositionof the letters of the monogram.Againwe have what seemsto be an overtaxed
mint or mints putting out a coinageof distinctly poor quality with chippedand reusedflans and carelessdie
cutting. Apparentlythe mint magistrateshad no scruplesabout combiningon occasion odd reverses and
obversesif the dies werenot wornout sincethe use of misfitswas quickerand cheaperthan cutting the proper
new dies.
1891 Two of these coins are obviously barbaricimitations of the jewelled cross type. A third (probably
restruck)is very similarto a specimencited by MissEdwardsfrom Corinth(p. 142, 122) showingan Alexius
bust with the labaruminstead of the usual cruciformsceptre, and on the reverse, a jewelled cross with the
lowerletters of the inscriptionplaced at a diagonalslant. Miss Edwardssuggestsa Crusaderorigin.
Of the other imitations, two are Miss Edwards'type No. 172 with a cross on both obverse and reverse,a
IC XC.

third is her No. 175 with the bust of an emperorand a cross, in the angles of which is the legend NI KA
The two issues are listed in the Corinthpublicationunder "ByzantineUncertain",but I wonderif they may
not both be imitations of Alexius issues, the one repeatinghis patriarchalcross type on both sides of the
coin and the other combiningobverses No. 1884 and No. 1889.
1892 Thisis a silverscyphatecoin whichhad been gilded. It correspondsto the referenceexcept that instead
of the customaryobverse legendonly I OW
is visible to the 1.upward.M-1appearsabovethe two figuresand OV
to the r.
1894 One coin has been restruck;it is difficultto be sure whetherit belongs to this group or the one just
preceding.
1895 Two restruck.
1897 Both mules have the Virgin orans reverse, combined in one case with the obverse of No. 1894 and
in the other with No. 1895. The latter has been struck over a coin of Constantine IX.
1899ff. Nos. 1899-1902 are scyphate bronze issues. No. 1899 is similar to the BMC reference but the pieces
catalogued there are of electrum while ours is bronze. One specimen of No. 1900 has been restruck.
As with the coinage of Alexius, an attempt has been made to arrange Manuel's regular bronze issues (Nos.
1903-1909) in the order suggested by the overstrikings found on the Agora coins: No. 1907 - one over No.1904
with No. 1908 under that, one over No. 1908, one over No. 1906; No. 1908 - two over No. 1904, seven over
No. 1907; No. 1909 - one possibly over No. 1908. In two instances, No. 1907 over No. 1904 over No.1908
and No. 1907 over No. 1908, there is a contradiction of the order otherwise indicated. This may be due to a
misreading of the sequence of impressions on poorly preserved specimens or it may more likely be the result
of issues continued in circulation over a long period of time and used interchangeably for restriking. The
monogram and St. George types are by far the most common in the Agora group, and the quantity found
surely indicates that both extended over many years. So slight is the evidence on overstrikes as compared
