THE THIRD AND FOURTH DURA HOARDS

At the beginning of November, 1930, the excavation of Dura-Europos was renewed with the clearing of the Priests' House, adjoining the temples of Artemis and Atargatis, which had been partially dug the season before. In it were found two small jars containing Roman silver coins and nearby one mass of metal which also proved to be silver coins that had been buried in a bag. These last Mr. Newell has kindly undertaken to publish himself; the two other collections are dealt with in this paper. 1 There is every reason to believe that the two jars were part of a single hoard. They were found with their mouths opposite each other, almost touching, and the limits of the series are practically the same—Nero and Diadumenianus in one case, Vitellius and Macrinus in the other. Nevertheless, for the sake of entire accuracy, they are listed separately with a summary of the combined hoard at the end. Considering their proximity, it is curious that the color of the pieces was quite different, so that one could tell at a glance to which group any given coin belonged. All were covered with a thick corrosion due to the large proportion of copper in the alloy, but in the case of Hoard IV this was a much more yellowish green than in the case of Hoard III, perhaps because two bronze coins, now illegible, were in the jar with Hoard IV. As the pieces adhered to each other it was not practicable to weigh them before cleaning; the weights of the denarii after cleaning show no significant variation from the standard. Only the weights of the tetradrachms are recorded.

The hoards cannot have been buried before 218 because of the presence of coins of Macrinus and his son. On the other hand, there are none of the very common coins of Elagabalus issued in 219. The general confusion of the time may have been a sufficient reason for the burial. We know of no particular crisis at Dura, and the contents of Hoards I and II, beginning with Caracalla and continuing without interruption to Gallienus, lead one to think that this treasure may have been due to the miserliness of a particular priest rather than to any civil peril.

It is surprising and somewhat disappointing to find no denarii from the mint of Antioch earlier than the single coin of Pescennius Niger. That mint was certainly used by Vespasian, and occasional coins both of Trajan and Hadrian appear to have been struck there. One would expect to find a few of these in a hoard so much nearer to Antioch than to Rome, but such is not the case. There is, to be sure, one barbarous piece of Antoninus Pius (III, No. 145, Pl. III) but otherwise nothing which there is any excuse for attributing to the east. With Septimius Severus and his family, however, the case is different. Antioch furnishes 55 of the denarii of Severus, as against Rome's 37, and 4 each of Julia Domna and Caracalla come from the eastern mint. The only method of distinguishing these issues is by style and it must be confessed that, at a period when the style is never of the best, it is not always easy to make up one's mind.

Perhaps the best way to begin is with a comparison of specimens clearly typical of the two mints. IV, No. 56 (Pl. XII) may be taken as an example of Antioch; IV, Nos. 98, 99 (Pl. XIV), of Rome. There are three chief distinguishing marks of the Antiochene denarii: (1) the large, rough and uneven lettering, (2) the clumsy treatment of the eye, (3) the bad proportions of the standing figure, which is usually too short. In contrast with this, the Roman coins show more refinement, even the face of the standing figure being cut with considerable delicacy. These distinctions are not always so clear, but they are useful for general guidance. Plate XV shows an instructive comparison between IV, No. 111 from Antioch and No. 112 of the same type but probably from Rome. Unfortunately the reverse of the latter is not well enough preserved to be satisfactory, but the Roman style of Julia Domna appears clearly on No. 116. Differences are more elusive in the case of Caracalla. IV, Nos. 147 and 150 (Pl. XVIII) show the usual features of Rome and Antioch respectively, but IV, No. 158 (Pl. XVIII) and IV, No. 159 (Pl. XIX) illustrate the difficulty of deciding in some cases. The obverse of the former is clearly inferior in the drawing of the head and certainly no more than equal in the lettering; we should incline to attribute it to the inferior mint. But with the reverses the advantage is the other way. The sprawling letters of IV, No. 159, particularly the final G's, look more like Antioch than Rome. However, since the obverse of IV, No. 158 is better than that of IV, No. 146, and the reverse of IV, No. 159 better than that of IV, No. 147, both the FELICITAS AVGG pieces are attributed to Rome.

Since Mattingly and Sydenham's invaluable Roman Imperial Coinage has not reached the period after Commodus, one must still rely on Cohen, with some assistance from Platnauer The Life and Reign of the Emperor Lucius Septimius Severus and Mary Williams' article on Julia Domna in the American Journal of Archaeology, Vol. VI, 3 (July-September, 1902). 2

There is only one type of Severus which requires comment. IV Nos. 105, 106 show Jupiter between infants who are generally supposed to be Caracalla and Geta. But, if Caracalla was born in 188 (Platnauer, op. cit., pp. 50-53) and Geta in 189, the elder brother was 22, the younger 21 in 210, when IV, No. 105 was struck, and IV, No. 106 is a year later. Could they without too great absurdity, be represented as infants? Is this the mere conventional repetition of a group originating earlier, or has it a significance that has escaped us?

Cohen refers to Ramus, in the catalogue of coins in the Museum of Denmark, a general division of the coins of Julia Domna into three classes: the earliest, inscribed IVLIA DOMNA AVG; the second, inscribed IVLIA AVGVSTA; and the third, inscribed IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG. I have assumed that the first group belongs to the earlier years of her husband's reign, 193–196. All of our pieces with IVLIA DOMNA AVG are clearly from Antioch, except IV, No. 112 which I consider one of the first issues of the Roman mint. The simple title IVLIA AVGVSTA I should assign to the remainder of Severus' reign. The third group, which probably continues until the time of her death may begin as early as 198. Cohen (4, pp. 137-139) gives examples of her coins struck with her husband on which she appears as PIA FELIX; 3 the reverses date them between 198 and 204. Cohen No. 69 (quoted from Rollin) a hybrid with IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG and FORT RED TRP III COS II (195) may be dismissed as spurious. Julia's own types give no indication of date until her latter years. Our IV, No. 129 with MAT AVGG MAT SEN M PATR must be between 209, the date of Geta's elevation, and 212, the date of his death. It probably comes in the uneasy year between Septimius Severus' death and Geta's murder.

We have two denarii of Caracalla (IV, Nos. 146, 147) issued from Antioch in his youth, one in 197, the other in 198. These, and presumably other types not represented here, belong to the output of that mint in the early years of his father's reign. After 198 Rome alone seems to have been used as long as Severus lived. But there are two later pieces of Caracalla (IV, Nos. 148, 149) which appear to be from the east. On the former (Pl. XVII) the inscription MARTI PROPVGANATORI (sic) at once suggests Antioch, where errors in Latin inscriptions are common (Platnauer, op. cit., p. 35); the style of the latter (Pl. XVIII) is equally indicative. Comparison of IV, No. 148 with IV, No. 165 (Pl. XIX) which has the correct reading MARTI PRO- PVGNATORI will show that the differences are slight, it is true, but I believe we are justified in holding that in 211 Caracalla began again the striking of denarii at Antioch. It would be quite consistent with his general policy in the east. Neither hoard has any specimens of the Antoniniani which he introduced to check the depreciation of the denarius.

The tridrachm of Trajan from Caesarea in Cappadocia (IV, No. 3) is unlike anything previously found at Dura. A few of the abundant bronzes of Caesarea have turned up, but no more of the silver.

Before the discovery of these hoards the earliest tetradrachms found had been those of Caracalla; we now have a good piece of Marcus Aurelius and several of Septimius Severus; Hoard V, which Mr. Newell is publishing, contains still earlier tetradrachms. The coin of Marcus Aurelius is particularly interesting not only because it is a rare variety but because it represents the mint of Antioch during a period when, for some reason, its coins did not penetrate to Dura, or, at least, have not been found there. It rather emphasizes than explains that curious lacuna.

The tetradrachms of Severus and his sons attributed to Antioch are of two distinct styles. There is the type of the eagle on the leg and thigh (III, No. 197, Pl. VI; IV, No. 132, Pl. XVI) together with that having stars to right and left of the eagle's head (IV, No. 138, Pl. XVII; IV, No. 173, Pl. XX). On these the eagle's head is right and the wing feathers are represented by solid dots; the bend of the left wing is slightly higher and slightly sharper than that of the right. On the other hand, the pieces bearing a star between the eagle's legs (IV, No. 40, Pl. XI; IV, No. 135, Pl. XVI; IV, No. 172, Pl. XX) have the head left; the right wing is much higher than the left and the under wing coverts are represented by circles or semi-circles with a central dot. The two styles cannot, however, be the product of different mints, for there are intermediate examples. IV, No. 140 (Pl. XVII), with a star between the eagle's legs, has the wings as nearly even as on the coins with the leg and thigh, while on IV, No. 139 (too badly corroded to be illustrated) the leg and thigh are combined with the circle and dot technique for the wing coverts. The two tetradrachms of Caracalla with the thunderbolt (IV, Nos. 141, 142) are in too bad condition to furnish any ground for argument.

The other mints represented have already been discussed in connection with the first two hoards.

End Notes

1
The two hoards unearthed in the Campaign of 1928–29 have already been published in this series. (Two Roman Hoards from Dura-Europos , Numismatic Notes and Monographs No. 49, 1931.)
2
Mr. Mattingly has been good enough to read the MS and has given me the benefit of many valuable suggestions.
3
Mattingly believes that these were all struck under Caracalla.
