The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Royal Numismatic Society, Vol. 15 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Royal Numismatic Society, Vol. 15

An additional Object Of this essay is to complete, so far as possible, the list of M. Six by noting all varieties and new coins which have appeared since his article, and so to furnish further material for the classification of this enigmatical coinage. The coinage of Phaselis, as stand ing apart from the general series of Lycia, has not been dealt with here.

I must here record my Obligation to Mr. W. Ark wright, by whose work (both published and unpublished) I have been largely guided in the transcription of Lycian characters.

Excerpt from The Numismatic Chronicle and Journal of the Royal Numismatic Society, Vol. 15

The article of M. J. P. Six on "Monnaies Lyciennes," in the Revue Numismatique for 1886 and 1887, first systematized the study of the early coinage of Lycia, the foundation of which had already been laid by Sir Charles Fellows. Since then the only important contribution to the subject has been made by M.Babelon, in the last volume of the Catalogue des Monnaies grecques in the Bibliotheque Rationale.

M. Babelon appears to have accepted in the main the chronological arrangement of M. Six. The fact that since 1887 a number of new coins have come to light must be my excuse for attempting a rearrangement of the chronological relations of the various series.

I have approached this task mainly with a view to setting forth the numismatic evidence, independently of that of inscriptions.
