American School of Classical Studies at Athens is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve, and extend access to Hesperia ® www.jstor.org 218 JOAN E. FISHER present report deals with the coins found during that season and serves as a supplement to Williams' account.2As in past reports, the appended catalogue recordsall the legible spec- imens, which amounted to a total of 587 coins. Some bulk counts are given, at the end of sections, of coins which were too badly preservedfor detailed entry, yet were evidence of a certain period. A stratigraphic list is also included. Before cleaning, about 1,210 coinlike items were entered in a field count of finds from the Forum Southwest for the 1977 season. Of that number around 420 appeared to be Roman, with more than 225 each Greek and Byzantine. Twelve coins were clean enough right from the soil to be identified as Ostro- gothic, as were 4 Frankish deniers, 1 Seljuq bronze, and 1 Greek five-lepta coin of 1848. The rest are still uncertain. Unusual coin accumulationsappeared in two areas: one in the overlapping Greek and Roman roads that lie just west of the South Stoa and another in the Byzantine metal-working complex that borderedthis same thoroughfarein later times.3Glimpses of bronze in the hard-packedlevels of the Greek road promised a rich harvest of coins of late Classical and Hellenistic times; unfortunately,nearly all of them were encasedin crushedporos and were severely compressed by long, heavy use of the road. Weeks in the laboratory were spent freeing coins from countless, iron-hard clumps of coarse gravel. Many coins dissolved or fragmented in the process; others stayed fused together in hopeless lumps. Coins in the Roman roadway fared a little better, as many had fallen into cracksbetween the handsome paving slabs and thus were somewhat protected.Seven deposits accumulatedin pits in the road itself. At the Byzantine metal-working area many scoriae, tacks, buttons, and other round objects were found along with coins. Consequently, there were fewer numismatic additions to the collection than had been hoped, but the final count, by and large, kept the proportionsshown in the field tally, with Roman coins a solid majority,Greek and Byzan- tine next, and a few later coins to complete the picture.4 Generally speaking, the finds were all of known types. Minor variations occurredbut nothing significant such as new issues, magistrates, or symbols. In the largest section (Ro- man), the majority of the coins were from the mid-4th to the early 5th centuries. Con- stantius II (A.D. 337-361), Arcadius (A.D. 383-408), and Theodosius I (A.D. 379-395) were, in that order, the emperors most frequently represented. Many more of these coins, however, were road damaged so that counts based on a certain emperor are a matter of chance

COINS: CORINTH EXCAVATIONS, 1977 219 preservation,rather than an accurate picture of mint activity or trade. The same applies to the next strongest Roman group, the 5th-to-6th-centuryminimi. Happily, a concentration of Ostrogothicbronzes (Baduila, A.D. 541-552) survivedamongst a myriad of tiny illegibles. Next largest, the Greek section was similar to those of recent years: the finds were mostly autonomous issues from the Peloponnese. Once again, Corinth and Sikyon were the mints most commonly found. Corinthian Pegasos/Tridents were abundant, her Duoviri less so. Greek Imperials were scarce. No Greek coins were identified as coming from the West; a mere six representedthe East. The Byzantine section was strongestin 1 th-to- 2th-century coins, especially the later Anonymous Issues and, as usual, the strikings of Manuel I (A.D. 1143-1180). Finally, modern surface levels and a disturbed road fill produced the Frankish and Seljuq pieces. Five Greek silvers shown on Plate 48 are well-known fractions:a diobol (No. 1) and a drachm (No. 2) from Corinth, two hemidrachms (Nos. 103, 119) from the Aitolian and Achaian Leagues respectively, a tetrobol (No. 108) from Histiaia. Only the tetrobol is in relatively good condition although all appear for e record. The Achaian League hemidrachm, similar to no. 555 of the Agrinion Hoard, can be identified as a late striking (160- 150 B.C.) from Patras while the Aitolian League hemidrachm,duplicate of Agrinion 617, is dated ca. 196-146 B.C.5On the other hand, the poor condition of both the drachm and the diobol from Corinth (4th century B.C.)precludes identificationof the die. A more unusual find (No. 114) from under the 5th-century B.C. floor of the Punic Amphora Building is the Turtle/Incuse stater from Aigina. Despite crystallizationof all surfaces and disappearance of some details, such as dots on the shell of the turtle, the obverse still shows a wide-necked turtle with a "thick"collar and the reverse, a defective five-segmentedincuse. This design probably belongs to a design transition between the earlier "Union Jack" reverses and the later "Windmill"or four-segmentedincuses. The worn, defective reverse die with the five segments, together with the "heavy"-collarobverse design argues, in terms of the Asyut Hoard, for placing our specimen late in Group III, dated ca. 500/490-480 B.C. in a fine study of internal and hoard evidence by Drs. Martin J. Price and Nancy M. Waggoner.6 Turning to Greek bronzes, two late Corinthian pieces deserve mention. The first (No. 85), an Octavius-Licinus Duovir struck under Claudius (A.D. 41-54) was known to Fox7 but without the ethnic COR on the reverse;also, on our obversethe Claudius head faces right. The second (No. 92), struckunder Caracalla (A.D. 198-212), bears the bust of Plautil- la on the obverse and the figure of Caracalla on horseback, saluting, on the reverse. This Plautilla issue appears to be relatively rare. Although describedby Mionnet and then by Cohen, it seems not to be in subsequent catalogues despite the fact that the equestrian Em- peror saluting was a reversetype used on Corinthian Imperials for Lucius Verus (A.D. 162- 169), Commodus (A.D. 176-192), and Septimius Severus (A.D. 193-211).

See Williams, Hes- peria 47, p. 16 for findspotof stater and associatedmaterial dated to the secondhalf of the 6th centuryB.C. The stater appears to be somewhat later in date than the pottery. Given the state of preservationof the coin, it is hard to assess accurately the degree of wear apart from general deterioration.Still, the stater had seen some circulation before lodging under the floor. 7 Fox, p. 108, no. 37. This particular issue is not in Edwards. 220 JOAN E. FISHER

"equestrian"Imperial seems unknown so far for Caracalla himself, but he does use a more aggressivetype: Emperor on horseback,galloping and spearing warrior.8 Three more bronzes of note come from other Greek mints. No. 102 was struck (48 B.C.-A.D. 138) in Korkyra, a slight variant of the rather common Apollo/Zeus Kasios series describedunder BMC, nos. 507-584. Instead of the full ethnic KOPKVPA or KOP- KYPAIO)Naround the Apollo bust, or a monogram,our obversebears a large K to the right, above the lyre. On our reverse,the enthronedZeus with scepter faces right, in profile, quite unlike the more prevalent left-seated version with frontal torso and head to left. The closest parallel comes from a specimen in the American Numismatic Society collections.9Very similar to ours, it has the large K but no lyre on the obverse. Zeus Kasios was honored during Hellenistic and Imperial times with a temple at Kassiopi in northeasternKorkyra and was probably derived from an earlier mountain- or weather-god associated with Mt. Pantokrator,which rises behind the town.10 No. 156 is a rare find from the importanttown of Nicomedia in Bithynia. Struck in the reign of Nero under the Proconsul L. Montanus, the obverse displays the bare head of young Nero and the reverse, three ears of wheat along with the abbreviatedethnic NEIKO and the Proconsularname. Despite surface deterioration,both types are seen to be rather summary in style. The three ears of wheat are a new version of the two-ear motif recorded in Reinach.11Demeter was the principal deity of Nicomedia so that referencesto the god- dess, her temple, or her attributesoften appear on the late coins. This particularissue is not in the usual catalogues nor in the American Numismatic Society collections. Our third non-Corinthian bronze (No. 157) was minted in Abydos, the strategically important town on the Hellespont, where Alexander III crossed the Sestos-Abydosstraits into Asia Minor in 334 B.C. Here, Apollo and Artemis were the main divinities. Our small Apollo/Eagle specimen is from an extensive autonomous series dating from the 4th century B.C. and later. Issued in at least five different sizes or denominations,this bronze can probably be associated with late silver issues of the same types, accompaniedby names of magistrates. In fact, a rare trihemiobol carries the same amphora symbol to right of the eagle as on our bronze.12The American Numismatic Society has a strong collection of Apollo/Eagle bronzes, which includes one example (E. T. Newell collection)of the smallest

This Plautilla issue is not in the American Numismatic Society collections. For similar issue struck under L. Verus, see Mionnet, Supplement IV, p. 105, no. 715; for Commodus, p. 112, no. 762; for S.

No. 347, a Roman bronze, is a barbarous imitation of the SALVS REIPVBLICAE coins of Honorius from Constantinople.On the obverse, the bust of the Emperor (PI. 48) displays curiously negroid features, most likely a fortuitous result of the die-cutting tech- nique. This, and what remains of the blundered legend, DI/4 HO- U- - - - VG, belie a regular imperial striking. The reversetends to confirmthe barbaricorigin, with a truncated Victory dragging a rudimentarycaptive left, together with a crude 0 or blundered -Pin the left field. As with similar imitations, no attributionscan yet be made to a particularreign or mint, despite in this case the rather good fabric and what may be traces of [C]ON in the exergue.13 Two Byzantine pieces are of interest, Nos. 416 and 537. The first is a fine example of the Christogramfollis issued under Justinian, in A.D. 527-538. Minted in Constantinople with the officina C, the piece is not in the Dumbarton Oaks collections. It is, however, representedin the Byzantine section of the Cabinet des Medailles at Paris and illustratedon plate XI of C. Morrisson's handsomecatalogue.14 The second coin (No. 537) belongs to the light standard, half-tetartera of Manuel I (A.D. 1143-1180), struck at an uncertain Greek mint. No. 537 differs from this abundant half-tetarterongroup, as do Nos. 529 and 530, by cruder style, a more lozenge-shaped clip, and a very thin flan. As can be seen by comparing this coin to No. 537a, a specimen found in 1963 in the same general Southwest Forum area, neither the clip nor the style is uniform. Often struck on nearly paper-thin flans, these coins can be eptagonal or octagonalin shape and smaller than the already irregular range of light standard, monogram half-tetartera from the uncertain Greek mint. The styles of the small pieces seem even sketchier: uneven crosses punctuated with ill-formed letters pass for a monogram, while the Emperor often is reduced to a few sloppy lines and dots. The coins appear to have been hurriedly struck, as do the more abundant, light standard half-tetartera, a result, perhaps, of efforts on the part of the Greek mint to alleviate a pressing shortage of small change, as suggested by Hendy, something which occurredearly in the reign of Manuel I.15 They may, however, have been clipped sometime later to reduce the value ot the light half-tetarteron,if they startedout as that denomination,or to conservemetal scarce at the time. Indeed, possibly the small coins were intended as fractions and produced as such, without much care, for local use. Further study of this interesting late Byzantine period will, one day, clarify small anomalies such as this.

Williams' statementthat the latest coins in the road deposits were Ostrogothic(small Baduila bronzes or imitations) should be amendedsince, in fact, for Deposits 1, 2, 6, and 7 some of the coins of Justinian I (A.D.527-565) are later. Of Baduila's issues only his Anastasius bust/DN REX B coins appear in these four deposits. This series was minted in his capital, Ticinum (Pavia), ca. A.D. 541/2-549. As Wroth points out, Baduila did not use his own bust on these coins but rather the legend and profile bust of Anastasius, or in rare cases those of Justinian. In A.D. 549, however, Baduila recaptured Rome, opened the mint, and probably at this time replaced the Anastasius bust with that of his own, in regal attire and front facing.

Baduila died shortly therafter,in 552, when confrontingNarses in the Apennines. The small A coins in the same deposits have been reassigned to Justinian I rather than to the "Vandal"period. These widespread, common coins were probably current in the later years of that reign as they were earlier, but more com- prehensivestudy is needed for conclusivedates.
