Although Side was a Greek colony from Cyme in Aeolis, the Asiatic
elements in the population gradually overwhelmed the Hellenic, and in
Alexander's time, according to Arrian (i. 26), the Greek language was no
longer spoken at Side. This statement is fully borne out by the follow-
ing series of coins on which the Greek legend ilAHTIKON is replaced by
inscriptions in characters resembling the Aramaic, which have given rise
to various hypotheses. De Luynes (Num. des Satrapies, p. 22) would read
in them the names of the Persian Satraps, Dernes and Syennesis; but
M. Waddington, with greater caution, says, ‘ Je ne crois pas que personne
ait encore trouve le secret des ces singulieres legendes’ (Rev. Num., 1861,
13) ; cf. Arrian, l.c., ryv plv 'EAAdSa yKwaaav e^eSadovro, evdvs flapftapov

To about the time of Alexander the Great may be attributed the
Alexandrine gold stater described by Muller, No. 1248, with the pome-
granate as an adjunct symbol.

After the defeat of Antiochus, Side, like Aspendus, retained practical
autonomy, and became one of the chief places of mintage on the south
coast of Asia Minor; but, while Aspendus reverted to the types of the
Alexandrine tetradrachm, Side seems to have taken the Alexandrine gold
stater as the model of her new silver coins. The types of the tetradrachms
of Side are, however, rather suggested by than copied from the Alexan-
drine gold coin.
