SICYONIA.
345

silver, but on some specimens the bull on the obverse is replaced by a
head of Pallas or of Zeus (?). See also Achaean League.

SICYOHIA.
[Annali di Corrispondenza archeologica, 1830, p. 336.]
Sicyon, during the period of its greatest prosperity, consisted of an
acropolis about two miles from the Corinthian Gulf, a lower town at its
foot, and a port-town. The large number of its coins still extant
sufficiently attests the ancient wealth and commercial importance of
the city. It does not appear to have struck coins before the middle of
the fifth century, nor indeed does its money become plentiful much
before b. c. 400.
