VI. NON-ALEXANDRIAN (IMPERIAL
TIMES).
The coins of Imperial times, other than Alex-
andrian, are very few indeed. The only specimens
which I have been able to identify are the
following:—
Judaea. First Revolt of the Jews, a.d. 67—70.
Vessel with two handles. | Vine-leaf. JE -65 4
From the few letters still legible on these little
coins it would seem that they belong to the 2nd
or 3rd year of the Revolt (cf. Madden, Coins of the
Jews, p. 206).
Laodiceia in Syria.
M. Aurelius. a.d. 161—180.
[. Aurelius. IOYAI60JN ////////////////
Dionysos standing facing,
holding grapes and thyrsos,
at his feet panther; in field,
nO—MAP. JE 95.
The condition of this coin does not warrant us
in assuming that the full legend was IOYAI60JN
T0JN KAI AAOAIK60JN. The letters nO—MAP
belong to the class of abbreviated words, frequent
on coins of Laodiceia, which still await their
explanation.
VII. CONSTANTINE FAMILY, BYZANTINE,
AND MODERN.
Constantino I. a.d. 306-337
Constantine II. a.d. 337—340 .

THE WEIGHTS OF NAUKRATIS.
85. The city which served for many generations
as the principal centre of trade between the East
and the West, the only link between the rising
commerce of the Ionians and the riches of Egypt
and the Red Sea trade, was naturally more
abounding in weights than were the partly mili-
tary, partly religious Egyptian cities, whose busi-
ness solely related to the produce of their own
neighbourhoods. It is to Naukratis that we
should look for the greatest harvest of ancient
weights, and our expectations are more than ful-
filled. A single month's collecting will provide a
finer collection of the Egyptian hat weights than
any museum yet possesses, and the season's work
has quadrupled all the published Egyptian weights
hitherto known, and provided us with over five
hundred in all.
The whole of the results are here worked out
and tabulated; and though no finality can be
