THE SYMBOLS ON STATERS OF CORINTHIAN TYPE (A Catalogue)

By Jean B. Cammann

The Corinthian type on staters, minted or used by Corinth, her colonies and other places associated with her by trade or alliance, changes but slightly and very gradually during the period of their issue (fifth, fourth and part of third centuries, B. C.). The alterations are chiefly due to the development and subsequent degeneration of the artistic style, and therefore it is difficult to place the coins in a definite chronological sequence.

The British Museum Catalogue, Babelon's "Traité" and Ravel's "Colts of Ambracia" endeavor to arrange the staters in regular groups, either according to the style, the letters (of magistrates or of mints) or by die sequences. But no attempt has heretofore been made to classify these staters through the symbols, nor to illustrate the recurrence of similar symbols on coins of the "colonial" mints. These symbols (small pictures placed in addition to the regular type of the coin) are so numerous, so varied in character, and so minute in detail that numismatic works offer very imperfect lists of them, and frequently disagree as to their identification.

In this catalogue all the symbols cited by the above writers, or found in catalogues of important sales, or on coins in Mr. E. T. Newell's and certain other private collections, are brought together and classified. (See list of references.) All references are to illustrations only, for no description in the text of any work is sufficiently detailed to identify the symbols or the differences in the dies on which they are found.

It seemed a most necessary part of this work to include a map of Corinth and her "colonies"—the locations where these staters were issued or used. And it is of interest to note that no great number of the Corinthian staters has ever yet been found at the Mother City, while some large hoards have been discovered in Sicily and may be seen at the Museum of Syracuse. (Athens is the only city marked on this map outside of the Corinthian connections.) The course of the river Acheloös is traced, as the horned head of the river god is used as a symbol so frequently by the mints, located by or near the stream.

With a few exceptions, such as the reproductions from Ravel's "Colts of Ambracia", the illustrations are photographed directly from the coins, and not, as is more customary, from casts. A collection of casts, or photographs from them, is at best a collection of death masks and most monotonous. Taken from the coins themselves, the photographs show all the vari- ations and irregularities of flan, the texture of the metal, and the delicate modeling of the artist, which is so often lost in the cast.

The specimens used for illustrations in the catalogue are marked with an asterisk, and are generally taken from the collections of Mr. E. T. Newell, Mr. Hoyt Miller and the British Museum, to all of whom I am deeply indebted for their courtesy in allowing their coins to be used. The single illustration preceding the plates presents the very spirited Pegasos from the obverse die of Mr. Noe's coin (reverse die illustrated as 126 ϙ b). Very few of the Corinthian type staters have any symbol on the Pegasos die, and these Pegasi are generally from the "colonies" and in poor style. The winged horse is so essentially the parasemon of Corinth that it seems only fitting to show him at least once in his full beauty and action, although in this case there is no symbol on the die. Certain specimens are marked with a dagger; these coins have been chosen for enlargement, and have been selected for various reasons; some, as Mr. Newell's coin of Dyrrhachium, to bring out minute details. Others, including the splendid, early Corinthian stater with the trident, from Mr. Albert Gallatin's collection, are illustrated simply to draw attention to their beauty and artistic arrangement on the flan. Finally, and these are the most important, many of the tiny figures of gods, mortals and statues have been enlarged in order to facilitate identification. The two chief sources of reference, BMC and Babelon, differ frequently on the names for the symbols, and especially for these figures of Artemis, Dionysos, Poseidon, Zeus, etc. I have tried so far as is possible, to combine their opinions and to illustrate the exact figure cited by both. On these and other debatable questions I have availed myself of the advice and experience of Mr. Newell and Mr. Noe, and am most grateful to them for their assistance in every detail of the work.

The Corinthian stater shows on one die, usually the obverse, the winged horse Pegasos, who drank at the fountain of Peirene on the Acrocorinthus; and on the other die, the helmeted head of Athene Chalinitis (Bridler) who aided Bellerophon in capturing the steed.

The symbols are generally found on the Athene die, and therefore the pages of this catalogue are arranged to show the position of each symbol, relative to the head of Athene. When, as in the case of Syracusan coins and certain others, the symbol occurs on the Pegasos die, it is placed in square brackets.

Only complete symbols are listed: thus, Thymiaterion, but not when appearing as Nike, bearing thymiaterion. When two different, distinct symbols are upon the same die, they are cross-indexed under their separate headings, together with a reference in italics to the other symbol: thus,

D. Dolphin. Rose

R. Dolphin. Rose

The symbols are listed in alphabetical order and numbered. At least one illustration is given of each symbol, and the illustration is numbered to correspond with the alphabetical list. If several illustrations are given of the same symbol occurring on coins of different localities, they bear the same number with the addition of the initial letters of the mint. (See Geographic list and map.)

Thus: Nike—84 on List

Illustrations—84 Am; 84 ; 84 ϙ; 84 Λ.

NOTES

End Notes

1.
Bull's Head (No. 19 ϙ a) The head, or forepart of a bull, appears frequently as a symbol on the staters of Corinth and Ambracia, but on one coin of Corinth it is represented in a very unusual and interesting way. This coin has the symbol of a bull's head, almost facing, decorated for sacrifice with fillets hanging from the horns, an exact reproduction in miniature of the typical bull's head on the coins of Euboea. The "Magistrate's initials" (so called) are EY (retrograde) and the letters are formed with ball-endings after the fashion used on Euboean coins of this period. Babelon and the BMC date the EYB series of Corinthian staters 400-350 B. C. Head's Historia Numorum dates the Euboean coins with this type of bull's head 378-338 B. C.
The stater referred to is in the collection at the Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris, No. 328; but it is not exhibited in the show cases. It is illustrated in the Babelon Traité, CCXI. 23, and there are other examples in Mr. Newell's collection and elsewhere, with differing dies.
2.
Cow and Calf (No. 28 ϙ) The BMC XII. 17 illustrates this unique symbol on a Corinthian stater. The cow suckling a calf is the usual type of the coins of Dyrrachium, and the letters on the Corinthian coin are ΔΙ. The coins of this Corinthian series are dated 350-338 B. C. by BMC.
3.
Hook (No. 63 Ec.) This coin with the symbol of a hook, and the letter E has been attributed tentatively by BMC to Echinus, but the E is the only proof offered, and there is no ethnic initial in the more usual place on the Pegasos die. The same symbol of the hook occurs frequently at Leucas, accompanied by the letters EY and sometimes in addition Λ on the obverse. Mr. Miller's coin, illustrated, as 63Λb, shows ƎΛ and throws further doubt on the correct ascription of the Echinus coin, as either Λ or Υ may be off the flan of that piece.
4.
Mouse (No. 83Ꜹ) The symbols on the staters of Anactorium are connected with the worship of Apollo, and include the lyre, tripod, omphalos and palm tree. The little field mouse claims a place among these sacred objects, as it was under the special protection of Apollo Smintheus. Tame mice were kept in a temple of Apollo in the Troad.
5.
Nike (No. 84 ϙ) The symbol of Nike, flying with tainia in her outstretched hands, appears on a great variety of dies. Many of these Nike staters belong to the I group, and are dated by BMC circa B. C. 338. In the collection at the Museum of Syracuse is a stater of exactly this type and period, with the Nike symbol and I. The ϙ beneath Pegasos is replaced by indistinct lettering, and Prof. Orsi interprets these letters as the Punic characters for Eryx, the Carthaginian town in the N. W. of Sicily. Prof. Orsi very kindly gave me a cast of the coin, but the lettering is so faint that the photograph could scarcely serve as a proof of identity.
In BMC, page L, reference is made to a stater of Eryx, of Corinthian type. The coin is now in the Six Collection at the Hague. An engraving, in the catalogue of the Six Collection, shows the head of Athene in Corinthian helmet, facing right, without letter or symbol. There are Punic letters beneath the Pegasos. The coin is of a distinctly different style from the specimen at Syracuse.
6.
Ram (No. 103 Dyr a & b) Special attention should be drawn to Mr. Newell's two coins of Dyrrhachium, illustrated as 103 Dyr. a & b, with an enlargement of b. These coins are of the usual Dyrrahachian style, with the symbol of the club, but in each specimen the helmet of Athene bears a most unusual ornament, a tiny ram's head terminal on the cheek- piece. The bowl of Athene's helmet on the Syracusan staters is frequently decorated with a griffin, but on all other staters of Corinthian type the wreath of leaves (olive or laurel) is the only ornamentation. In the McClean collection at Cambridge there is a stater of Dyrrhachium like Mr. Newell's specimen 103 Dyr. a; it is illustrated in the catalogue of that collection, Vol. II, Plate 183, No. 2, and the ram's head may be clearly seen with a magnifying glass, although no mention of it is made in the text.
7.
Silenos (No. 112 ϙ b) This rare and beautiful coin from Mr. Newell's collection shows the head of Silenos, the god of wine, over the kantharos, the wine cup. The wreathed head, with its snub nose and long beard, bears an odd resemblance to a cluster of grapes. BMC XXXV. 11 and Bab. CCLXXV. 4 each illustrate a stater from the same die, but as these specimens are not in such fine condition, the error has been made in each catalogue of calling the head of the Wine God a bunch of his own sacred fruit and classifying Silenos as "Grapes".
8.
Stylis (No. 118 ϙ) This symbol, mast with yard, (frequently wreathed) is accompanied on Corinthian staters by the letter Λ. Staters at Leucas, bearing the same symbol and letter (initial of Leucas) are placed by BMC in approximately the same period, 330-243 B. C.
9.
Wreath (No. 137 ϙ a) The symbol of a small wreath encircling Δ is identical on staters of Corinth and Dyrrhachium, and BMC p. LIII suggests that both coins possibly should be attributed to Corinth. Mr. Miller's specimen shows a variation, the Δ being outside the wreath, and the tiny leaves of the wreath pointing outward—"radiate".
