The F. Munroe Endicott Collection of Greek and Roman Coins was received by the American Numismatic Society in 1935 as the generous gift of Mrs. George Endicott and her son, De Witt Endicott. Because of the general excellence of the collection and the presence in it of outstanding coins and of selections from several hoards, it was felt that it merited a publication of its more important and representative pieces. Thus, publication is here made of the Greek coins, exclusive of the Alexandrian, of a cross-section of the Severan pieces from the "Catacombs" Hoard, and of the more interesting of the other Roman coins. In his work of cataloging the collection and preparing it for the trays of the Society's cabinet, the compiler was constantly dependent on the advice and help of the Society's late President, Mr. Edward T. Newell, who also assisted in selection of the pieces to be included in the present paper.
The quality and condition of the 427 Greek and 714 Roman pieces in the collection reflect its collector's rare discrimination and artistic taste as well as his appreciation of the historical importance of ancient coins. Its formation covered a period of over twenty-five years. Mr. Endicott's interest in coins was first aroused as a young secretary of the United States Legation at Cairo, Egypt, by the finding at Demanhur of the greatest hoard of silver coins of Alexander the Great as yet unearthed. In friendly competition with a young secretary in the British foreign service, Ronald Storrs—later to become governor of Jerusalem and governor of Cyprus—he sought out Alexander pieces from the famous find. The finest and rarest specimens were secured by the two young enthusiasts. Later, large sections of both lots passed into the collection of Mr. Edward T. Newell, whose publications on the Demanhur Hoard 1 are the basis of our modern scientific assignment of Alexander tetradrachms to their various mints. Thirty-five pieces from the hoard (Nos. 18–52 below) remained in the Endicott Collection.
Most outstanding of the Alexander pieces in the collection is a tetradrachm (No. 40 below and illustrated in enlarged size as the frontispiece) of the regular type bearing the name of Alexander on the reverse. This piece, like many others with Alexander's name, was issued after his death. In a close examination of the coin Mr. Endicott discovered a most unusual feature, the presence of the minute letters NIKOKΛEOYΣ on the right-hand row of locks running from the ear to the jaw of the lion's-skin head-dress of Heracles on the obverse. In holding the coin so that the Heracles head faces downwards, the letters NI are to be found on the first lock to the left, KO on the next lock to the right, KΛ on the third, EO on the fourth, and YΣ on the fifth and last lock immediately adjacent to the lion's ear. The discovery of the lettering was communicated to Mr. Newell and permission given him to publish the coin.2 In an earlier article3 Mr. Newell had already assigned such pieces bearing the monogram on the reverse to the mint of Paphos on the island of Cyprus. The presence of the name Nicocles, one of the princes of Paphos, on this specimen furnished corroboration of the mint attribution. The Endicott piece bears evidence that Nicocles was ambitious, as this is the first instance of any ruler except Alexander himself and his immediate successor Philip III placing his own name on the coinage of the Alexander type. It was not until fully fifteen years later that such powerful kings as Seleucus, Lysimachus, Ptolemy or Demetrius dared or found it advisable to do the same. At first, Nicocles did not have the courage to issue coins with a change from the type which Alexander had established or to substitute his name for that of Alexander. On this piece, however, without changing the types, and leaving Alexander's name on the reverse, he authorized his mint-master to place his name in minute letters on the locks of the lion's pelt which covers the head of Heracles on the obverse. Nicocles of Paphos was allied with Ptolemy I, King of Egypt, when, after the death of Alexander, the kingdom was divided among his followers. According to historians, Nicocles made overtures to one of Ptolemy's rivals who disputed Ptolemy's claim to Cyprus, and Ptolemy made an example of Nicocles when he learned of the intrigue. Emissaries of the Egyptian overlord appeared before the palace of Nicocles and informed him that his faithlessness had been discovered. Nicocles, therefore, committed suicide as did his wife and other members of his family. On only one other type does the name of Nicocles appear and of this type only two specimens are known to exist, one of which is suspect. This type bears on its obverse a head of Aphrodite, wearing a tall stephanos, and surrounded by battlements; and on the reverse, Apollo seated on the omphalos, holding arrow and bow, with NIKOKΛEOYΣ ΠAΦION in the left field. These coins (the genuine in the Turin Library and the suspect in Florence) are discussed by G. F. Hill in B. M. C., Cyprus , p. lxxix, Pl. XXII, 10–11.
When varieties found at Demanhur had become exhausted Mr. Endicott turned to other series to be found in Egypt, the Ptolemaic (Nos. 67–100) and the Alexandrian. Among the 327 Alexandrian issues there are instances of variations from already published types. The most interesting of these will be found below (Nos. 101–109). Noteworthy is the large bronze of Antoninus Pius with the unusual reverse type showing a bust of Sarapis above the model of a human foot. Interesting also is the Egyptian lead token (No. 110) bearing types similar in subject and style to the regular Alexandrian coinage.
On leaving Egypt, Mr. Endicott began to acquire choice specimens of other Greek series, especially of Italy and Sicily (Nos. 1–16), as well as exceptionally fine Roman portrait pieces—always confining himself to well preserved examples. From the Roman series the most interesting pieces have been selected for description and illustration. The collection is particularly rich in the silver coinage of the emperors of the Severan family due to the acquisitions of Mr. Endicott from the so-called "Catacombs" Hoard. A representative selection from this series has been included (Nos. 123–161). The known facts concerning the hoard from which the bulk of them come are as follows.

In a carefully posted account book Mr. Endicott noted additions to and withdrawals from his collection. This account book, now in possession of the American Numismatic Society, throws many interesting sidelights on his coins with its information on costs and notations of pedigree. It is from this book and other notes among his papers that we learn that a large portion of his Roman coins came from a hoard.
Eight entries headed "Catacombs" Hoard were made by Mr. Endicott to cover purchases of denarii and antoniniani from Shelley W. Denton and Charles Bell, both of the environs of Boston. The first of these entries was dated Dec. 18, 1922, and the last Nov. 11, 1924. A total of 399 denarii and 95 antoniniani was purchased in these eight lots. Mr. Endicott disposed of duplicates—179 denarii and 51 antoniniani. There is no evidence that Mr. Endicott acquired the entire hoard but it appears on the basis of the coins listed that at least a representative section passed into his hands. From the account book it has been possible to reconstruct the portion of the hoard purchased and, in most instances, to identify the pieces therefrom still in the collection.
The earliest pieces of the hoard were of M. Aurelius and Commodus, each of whom was represented by one denarius. Severus Alexander was well represented with eighty-four denarii and the latest coins were the forty-four denarii and seventy-four antoniniani of Gordian III. Only pieces of Septimius Severus show signs of wear; most of the others are in practically mint state. Excepting for two denarii of Septimius Severus, one of Julia Domna, and one of Geta from Laodicea, all coins remaining in the collection were struck at Rome. This circumstance lends credence to the suggestion of Mr. Endicott's entry "Catacombs" Hoard, that the hoard was found in one of the catacombs of Rome.

Antoninus pius
*101. ANTωNINOC εV CεB AYT K T AIΛ AΔPI Head r., bare.
Rev. Bust of Sarapis r., crowned with modius, above human foot; to r., ⊏
Æ. Drachm. Year 3 (139–40 A. D.)
The significance of the unusual reverse type of the Sarapis bust over the model of a human foot is unknown. Undoubtedly, it refers to some feature of the Sarapis cult in Alexandria, most likely to votives to Sarapis as a god of healing. This specimen has added interest because of its date, year 3 of Antoninus Pius. The type is mentioned by Milne (Ashmolean, p. xxix) as being of the last year of Antoninus Pius and recurring under M. Aurelius and Commodus. Vogt (Die Alexandrinische Münzen) also gives its earliest appearance to Year 24 of Antoninus Pius. B. M. C. Alexandria has two pieces for Pius (Nos. 1209–10, Pl. XIV) of Year 24, both of smaller size than our piece. However, Mionnet (VI, p. 214, 1431) gives the type for year 3 in the large size, derived from Zoega (N.Aeg., p. 167, No. 44). In no later work does a piece of this type occur for Antoninus Pius in the large size, or for a date earlier than Year 24. For Marcus Aurelius, Dattari (Nos. 3315–16, Pl. XXII) gives two specimens of 32 and 22 mm. respectively and for Commodus (Nos. 3828, 3938–39) three pieces varying between 21 and 23 mm. The type also occurs on a lead token of Egypt (Dattari, No. 6530, Pl. XXXVII). For a list of occurrences of the Sarapis bust over the human foot in sculpture, on gems, etc., see Weinrich in Athenische Mitteilungen, 37 (1912), p. 37, note 3. The human foot alone is used elsewhere as a type on coins: at Ptolemais-Ace under Valerian and Salonina (B. M. C. Phoenicia, Nos. 47, 51–53, Pl. XVII, 11); at Aegaea in Cilicia under Severus Alexander (B. M. C. Lycaonia , etc., 37, Pl. V, 1); and at Isinda in Pisidia (Babelon, Inventaire Waddington, No. 3751, Pl. VIII, 20).
