Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electrum Coinage of Cyzicus The pleasing task is left me of expressing my deep obligation to the keepers of the various public collections noticed in the following account of the different coins, and to the private collectors who have most freely placed their coins at my disposal for publication. To Mr. Poole and the other officers of the Medal Room in the British Museum it is impossible for me to fully express my grati tude, for the courteous and untiring way in which they have received me in my numerous visits to that splendid collection, and for most valuable information and counsel. The position of Cyzicus was one admirably fitted for the site of a great trading community. It shows us how the genius of the Hellenic race instinctively selected places suitable for colonization, and which afforded scope for the development of that spirit of commercial enterprise, which, existing at the time of our earliest acquaintance with that people, has continued with many vicissitudes to our own day. The town was placed on the neck of a promontory which projected into the Propontis (sea of Marmora), on the northern coast of Mysia, about the middle of the waterway between the zegean and Euxine Seas, and had therefore the advantage not only of the local trade with the opposite coast of Thrace, but of the wider traffic with the various towns on the shores of the two important seas between which it was planted.

Download or read book The Electrum Coinage of Lampsakos Classic Reprint written by Agnes Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electrum Coinage of Lampsakos The total output of electrum coins from the mint of Lampsakos was insignificant in comparison with the prolific issues of Kyzikos, Phokaia and Mytilenai. The coinage appears to have been limited to the stater denomination, judging from the fact that no subdivisions of the stater have come down to us, and that no mention of any other denomination occurs in literary references or inscriptions. Lampsakos differs in this respect from most of the other electrum-issuing cities of Asia Minor which, in the earliest period, issued halves and thirds of staters, as well as sixths and smaller fractions, and, at a later period, from the middle of the Sixth Century B. C. onwards, struck hektai, or sixths, in great numbers and also, though less frequently, various smaller denominations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Greek Coins, Vol. 1 To the numismatist, since the days of Petrarch the first coin collector of whom as such we have record, this branch of the science has always pre sented peculiar attractions. Here he can study a coin-series which, beginning with the rude bean-shaped productions of a few primitive dies in the earliest days of the invention, gradually improved in fabric and style, and expanded in scope and extent, until at last throughout the whole of the known world its varied and beautiful issues formed for centuries the only recognized medium of exchange.

While here, too, in the dim twilight of still more ancient myth and legend, Pallas Athene and Artemis had each her chosen spot; and here, where ocean breezes blow round the island of the blessed, and golden flowers blaze, some on the ground, some on resplendent trees, while others on soft-shimmering waters float; with necklaces of which the happy ones intertwine their hands and heads fair Persephone - Kore the maiden innocently gathering violets near her favorite Henna, had been seized by fierce Aidoneus and borne off, from the midst of her companions, to his kingdom, the nether world; and along these same unresponsive shores had she been sought with bitter lamentations by the bereaved mother Demeter; [etna's fires flaming for her torch.
