AEOLIS.
Later autonomous bronze and Imperial—Augustus to Gallienus. Inscr.,
THMNEITflN, etc. Types various: ACINIOC TAAAOC ATNOC, with
head probably intended for Augustus. G. Asinius Gallus was Pro-
consul in Asia b. c. 6 ; the coins, however, give him no title, but merely
the epithet ayz/os, equivalent to the Latin integer. Another coin of
Augustus struck in the same year reads KAICAP CEBACTOC T7AOYCIAC
YFTATHAC =v-7raretas (see Z.f. N., xii. 360). Among the more remarkable
types are EPMOC, the River Hermus ; Pallas Nikephoros ; Two Nemeses
facing one another, each with hand raised to her breast; THMNOC,
Head of city.
Tisna (?). This place is not mentioned by any ancient writer, but the
reverse type of the coins, which exactly resembles that of certain coins of
Cyme, leaves no doubt that they were struck in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of that city. Dr. Imhoof {Mon. Gr., p. 376) remarks that the
inscription TISNAIOS maybe an older form of TITN Al OS, which occurs
as the name of a river on Imperial coins of Aegae (p. 478).

From the following table it will be seen that, with the exception of a
few early electrum coins, attributed doubtfully to Cyme (p. 479), there
were no coins whatever struck in any of the cities of Aeolis before the
age of Alexander the Great, and that all the large and flat Attic tetra-
drachms of Aegae, Cyme, Myrina, and Temnus, belong to a still later
period.
