PUBLISHERS ' PREFACE

One of the stipulations connected unth our purchase of the magnificent Collection of Greek coins,

formed hy the late Sir Hermann Weber, luas that we should publish a comprehensive and fully illustra-

ted Catalogue, to serve as a Record of the Collection and to make it available for study

.

Owing to present-day difficulties, the publication has been delayed beyond our wish, but we have

spared neither trouble nor expense in securing its successful accomplishment.

We can only express the hope that this netu addition of material to ancient Greek numismatics will

prove of service, noiv that the Collection itself, oiving to its dispersal, can no longer be referred to.

PREFATORY NOTE

BY THE COMPILER

Upon undertaking the task of compiling the Catalogue which has now reachedcompletion, I hesitated as to whether I should follow the traditional method of de-scribing the coins according to geographical divisions, or adopt the more rationalsystem, founded on the suggestions and scientific principles, advocated for many yearsby Prof. Percy Gardner ' and other scholars. In the Sale Catalogue of the Rev. A. C.Headlam's Collection of Greek Coins " I attempted an arrangement of this kind, andthe Weber Collection being much larger the same ideas might have been worked outmore fully. This I could have done without much difficulty with regard to the coinsof Magna Graecia, and in particular of Sicily, on the basis of Holm's Geschichte Siciliens,Bd. Ill, but, after considering the immense labour involved in the rearranging of thewhole collection consisting of over 8500 coins and the endless research necessitatedin the fixing of the classification, according to trade routes, standards, spheres of influ-ence, etc. so many theories advanced being only conjectural ' I have, much to myregret, been obliged to give up my first idea, and revert to the old system ofgiving thesuccession of monetary issues under each state and city.

In my work, I have strictly adhered to the order of B. V. Head's Historia Numo-rum and the Brilish Museum Catalogue of Greek coins (27 vols, 1875-1920), even adopt-ing in my descriptions of the coins the phraseology of the writers, realizing that thevery terms used were as a rule the result of careful scientific consideration

.

The labels attached to the great majority of the coins in the Weber Collection,and the references made to his own specimens in the official British Museum Catalo-gues and in his copy of the Historia Numorum have proved of great service in thecompilation of the Catalogue.

I need not say that 1 take the sole responsibility for any errors, incorrect attribu-tions, and lacunae which I have not escaped, and ask for indulgence on the part of mycritics.

INTRODUCTION

Conspicuous amongst the most important collections of Greek coins ever formed by a pri-

vate individual was that begun some forty years ago by the late Sir Hermann Weber, and purchas-ed en bloc from his executors at the end of December 19 18, by Messrs Spink & Son Limited,17 & 18 Piccadilly, London W.

Sir Hermann Weber ' was born on December 30, 1823, at Holzkirchen, a small village in theNorth of Bavaria, where his father, a native of Bielefeld, resided as the administrator of an estateof Count Mensdorff-Pouilly. His mother, whose maiden name was Ruperti, was said to be ofItalian descent, one of her ancestors having come from Italy in the suite of one of the Prince-Abbots of Fulda. Young Hermann spent his early life on his father's farm and there developedthat love for open-air life, which, later in his medical career, he so strongly recommended, andwhich perhaps led him to take such a prominent interest in the subject of climatotherapy . At theage of nine he was sent to a private school at Wiirzburg, and in 1838, he was transferred to theGymnasium at Fulda, to which town the family had removed from Holzkirchen. After passinghis matriculation, he began medical studies at Marburg University, 1844, ^ pursue them later atBonn, where in 1848 he took the M. D. degree, and started to practise as a physician.

From early youth, a great admiration for Skakespeare's plays, had led Weber to study theEnglish language. His university teachers were apparently in the habit of attaching him as aguide to English visitors who came to them bearing letters of introduction. Thus it was that hemade the acquaintance of Sir James Simpson, and it was doubtless in that way that at Marburghe had met Carlyle, of whom he always kept the most pleasant recollections. Of great influenceon his later life was his intercourse with the English colony residing at Bonn, where he wasbrought into professional contact with Sir Peregrine and Lady Sarah Maitland, Colonel (laterMajor-General Sir Henry) Havelock, the Turtons, and many distinguished visitors and residentsat the famous university town. His love for England and the British led him to apply for thevacant post of Resident Medical Officer of the London German Hospital (at Dalston), to whichhe was elected in May 185 1, becoming afterwards physician and consulting physician to theHospital. On the completion of this appointment, he decided to start a practice as a physician inLondon, giving up the idea of returning to Germany, a disposition which was confirmed by his

INTRODUCTION

marriage in 1854 to an English lady, Matilda Griining. In order to obtain an English qualification,

he underwent a period of study at Guy's Hospital, and in 1855, became a Member of theRoyal College of Physicians, to which, four years later, he was elected a Fellow. Among hisfriends in the early days in London were Thomas Addison, Edmund Parkes, Wilson Fox and HiltonFagge. His affection and admiration for Parkes led him in 1894 to present to the College a sumof i, 3000 to found a prize to be awarded every third year to the author of the best essay upon

some subject connected with the etiology, prevention, pathology or treatment of tuberculosis.

The prize, appropriately named the Weher-Parhs Prize, has been awarded on five occasions '.Weber was from the first specially interested in the treatment of consumption, and he was

one of the pioneers of the open-air treatment, being one of the first to advise patients to spend

the winter in the high valleys of the Engadine. Himself an alpinist, he became an enthusiastic

member of the Alpine Club, and made many early ascents of difficult mountains. In his sixty-eighth year he climbed the Wetterhorn and Jungfrau, when seventy-three crossed the Capuchinfrom Pontresina to Sils, and in his eightieth year crossed the Diavolezza several times.

Among Weber's famous patients may be mentioned five Prime Ministers, namely, Lord Derby,Earl Russell (Lord John Russell), Lord Salisbury, Lord Rosebery, and Sir H. Campbell-Baner-mann. He was also frequently consulted on the choice of a health resort for members of the RoyalFamily. His professional status was recognized by the Royal College of Physicians, when he servedon the Council for five years, being Censor in 1879 and 1880. King Edward, then Prince ofWales, appointed him a delegate to the Berlin Congress on the Prevention of Tuberculosis in1899. He was on terms of intimacy with Lord Lister, Sir William Jenner, Sir James Paget, SirWilliam Gull, Sir Henry Thompson, Sir Spencer Wells, and many other eminent members of themedical profession.

Sir Hermann Weber retired from practice at the age of eighty, but continued to take a keeninterest in medical science and hygiene, and remained a contributor to medical periodicals. One ofhis later works, on ' Means for the Prolongation of life ', has reached four editions. The value of histeaching was certainly well illustrated in his own case, for at the age of ninety-five he was able to

walk on an average fifty miles a week regardless of weather. I remember meeting him one morn-ing before nine a few weeks before his death, alert and fresh, taking his 'constitutional', a strongwind blowing, which would have deterred many a younger man from venturing out unless ofnecessity. As Sir Norman Moore wrote of him, " when one met him he never seemed the least

I. Obituary notice from the British Medical Journal for November 23rd, 1918." The Weber-Parlies Prize Medal of the Royal College of Physicians of London is the work of the London med-

allist, Mr. Frank Bowcher, and the conception of the reverse design was due to Sir Hermann Weber himself.Mr. Bowcher was also assisted by Mr. Alexander Stuart Murray, the late keeper of Greek and Roman antiquities

in the British Museum.

On the obverse is a fine portrait of Sir Hermann Weber, in profile to left. The reverse of themedal represents Asklepios seated with Demeter, Apollo and Herakles standing before him. The idea is that the phy-sician (represented by Asklepios) avails himself of the powers of Nature in preventing and curing pulmonary tuber-culosis. He requires for these purposes : food, supplied by Demeter ; light and warmth, supplied by Apollo (the sun,the promoter of growth and the destroyer of injurious microbes); and, further, purity of air and muscular force, indi-cated by Herakles. The figures are taken from Greek sculptures and coins of the best period of Greek art " (Dr F. P.Weber, op. cit., PI. xiv).

The reverse celebrates the 70th year of his age, andis the work of Mr. Frank Bowcher (see F. Parkes Weber, " English Medals by Foreign Artists", London, 1894).

INTRODUCTION

out of breath, and his bright expression made it impossible to go on without pausing for a fewpleasant words with him ".

Many honours were bestowed upon him. In 1899 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. Hewas consulting physician to the Royal National Hospital for Consumption at Ventnor, to theNorth London (Mount Vernon) Consumption Hospital, and to the German Hospital and amember of the consulting committee of the King Edward VII Sanatorium. He was also honora-ry and corresponding member of a large number of learned societies in Great Britain and in fo-reign countries.

His works include ' Climatotherapy and Balneotherapy' the first edition, entitled " The Spasand Mineral Waters of Europe ", 1896, being the joint work of himself and of his son, D'F. Parkes Weber : ' Notes on the Climate of the Swiss Alps' (1864) ; ' Means for the Prolonga-tion of Life

';

' Treatment of Phthisis by residence in Elevated Regions'

; and ' Hj'gienic andClimatic Treatment of Phthisis' (Croonian Lectures, 1885).

Sir Hermann Weber died at his residence in London, 10 Grosvenor square, W, on the morn-ing ofNovember 1 1 th, 1 9 1 8, in his ninety-fifth year, apparently without pain, in a kind of faint,whengetting up. The terrible war had no doubt caused him much grief, but as The Times obituarynotice mentions, " throughout this fearful struggle, his sympathies were cordially and wholly onthe side of his adopted country, where he had worked for sixty-five years, and his one wishwas to live to see the final victory which he expected. His younger son, Lieutenant-ColonelWeber, D. S. O., R. F. A., and all his grandsons (of military age), five in number, had foughtnearly throughout the whole war, and one of his grandsons lost his life at Ypres in 1914' ".

Sir Hermann was endowed with an extraordinary charm of manner, which endeared himto all who came into contact with him. He had a keen sense of humour, and was always readyto lend a friendly hand

.

Numismatics became his hobby in later years, his interest in Greek and Roman coins beingfirst roused by types referring to the healing art. His collection, which he began in the latteryears of the seventies, soon increased in extent and importance, and acquired a high reputationamong numismatists. Eminent collectors, as W. H. Waddington, successively French Prime Mi-nister and French Ambassador in London, D"' F. Imhoof-Blumer, of Winterthur, the lamentedfacile princeps of Greek numismatics, J. P. Six of Amsterdam, D^ Barclay V. Head of the BritishMuseum, and his colleagues, were among his best friends and advisers. During visits to Greece,Asia Minor, Sicily, Tunis, Egypt, Turkey, and Palestine, he enriched his cabinet, which includednot only a large number ofgreat rarities, but many representatives of coins of the finest period ofart and pieces of capital importance in Greek numismatology. "He became a member of theNumismatic Society in 1883, served on its Council from 1889 to 1906, and was five times Vice-President between 1890 and 1901. He was awarded the Medal of the Society in 1905 ^ ". Accord-ing to D' G. F. Hill, his chief written contributions to Numismatics were the following papers inthe Numismatic Chronicle : " On some Unpublished or Rare Greek Coins" (Third Series, 1892,vol. XII, and 1896, vol. XVI) ; " Coins of Mende " (Third Series, 1898, vol. XVIII); "OnFinds of Archaic Greek Coins in Lower Egypt" (Third Series, 1899, vol. XIX); to which maybe added his paper in Corolla Numismatica (1906) on " Rare or Unpublished Coins in his

collection. D'" Hill further remarks that " his generosity in giving access to his cabinet to anyscholar who chose to apply to him was no less valuable as a contribution to science than thecommunications which took shape in print. " At first Sir Hermann's collection included Anglo.Saxon, English and Roman Coins. The English portion was sold by auction on i6 June 1885 '

and his Collection of Roman Coins came under the hammer, on 29th and 30th June 1893.This comprised Roman Family Denarii, Imperial Aurei, Denarii, a very fine series of Sestertii,Dupondii, and late small JE. His Antiquities were dispersed by the same auctioneers, on 22ndand 23rd May 1919 (226 lots). A copy of the latter sale catalogue, with rectifications andadditions, will be found bound togetlier with the Third volume of the Catalogue of Greek Coins.

The Collection of Greek Coins ^ comprised many pieces unique or of the utmost rarity, theacquisition of which for the nation was much to be desired. A special Government grant, withthe help of the National Art Collections Fund and of one or two friends of the Museum, includ-ing D" F. Parkes Weber has secured for the nation some of the most important of the coins,which were offered at special terms by the purchasers, Messrs Spink & Son Ld.

Foremost among the priceless gems of the Weber Collection, which are now in the BritishMuseum are four gold staters of Lampsacus, of extreme beauty, one representing Victory sacri-ficing a ram (n 5095), and the others, the heads of the goddess Hera (5098), of Dionysus crownedwith ivy (5099), and of Hecate (5 103), identified by a torch, of which a trace is visible behind hershoulder. No less interesting are several electrum staters and hecte of Cyzicus, remarkable as fineexamples of Greek treatment ofanimal forms. A unique coin ofSmyrna (61 14), with a severe headof Apollo and a graceful lyre, fills a gap in our historical records, proving, apparently, that thiscity, about a hundred years after its destruction by Alyattes, had again risen to importance,although there is nothing known until recently of its restoration before the time of Antigonus andLysimachus. A splendid coin of Cnidus (6475), shows the head of the Cnidan Aphrodite immorta-lized by Praxiteles ; another, of Chersonesus (4397), in Crete, reproduces the head of the heroine,Britomartis, and ranks amongst the finest coins issued in that island. Belonging to the Asia Minorseries are an early Lycian stater (7236), with lion's mask and triskeles, a curious piece of KingKhariga of Xanthos (7232), a fine stater of Queen Amastris (4796), niece of the last king of Persia,one of the best fourth century portrait coins, a very rare and early coin of Selge with the As-pendus type and PamphyHan inscription (7417). Charming in design is a beautiful coin ofTarsus (7631), representing Athene seated on one side and on the other, Aphrodite, in gracefulattitude, playing knucklebones. To the Thracian Chersonese belongs a tetradrachm (2400), bear-ing on the obverse a lion and on the reverse a helmeted head. Very early examples of Macedon-ian coins call for attention, and in particular an octadrachm, of primitive style, of Getas, kingof the Edonians (1853), known only from his coins, which shows on obverse a herdsman guidingtwo oxen. A fine head of Athene, of bold relief and pure archaic style, is exhibited on a tetra-drachm ofAthens(3433), belonging to the later times ofthePisistratidae. Ofgreat interest is a coinof Olympia (4044), with the eagle's head and thunderbolt, with an F, the early initial digamma,a letter early lost in Attic Greek, incused or struck in intaglio'.

INTRODUCTION

Some coins of Magna Graecia which are now incorporated in the National Collection deservealso especial mention ; one is the exceedingly rare tetradrachm of Himera (n 1349), of the fifth cen-tury, with a lovely figure of the nymph of the hot springs of Himera on obverse, and on reversePelops driving the Olympian chariot ; another (1350) of the same mint, represents the samenymph sacrificing at an altar, with the inscription lOTEP on reverse, and on obverse horsemanleaping from galloping horse. A didrachm of Thurium (881), is one of the finest examples offully developed Attic art. Other coins of Croton, Velia, Heracleia, Catana, Leontini, Syracuse,

etc., are no less remarkable for their artistic beauty than for their rarity.

A very rare tetradrachmof Ptolemy I Soter (8213), of Egypt, has the remarkable inscriptionPTOAEMAIOY AAEZANAPEION, and appears to have been struck at the newly founded city ofAlexandria.

The coins above mentioned are but very few of the numerous rarities in the Weber collec-tion ; they are among those selected by D' G. F. Hill, keeper of coins in the British Museum,for special mention by the journalists who reported on the Nation's acquisitions from this famouscabinet. Besides these, there are hundreds of others representing almost every district of theancient world in which coins were issued, which the British Museum was able to secure, thusfilling important gaps, especially in the series of Greek Imperial Coins

.

A superficial look over the Plates will be sufficient to convince any one of the extreme rich-ness of the Weber collection. To give only one instance, no private collection in the world^apart from those of H. I. H. the Grand Duke Alexander of Russia and of M. R. Jameson in Paris,could boast of such a fine series of Cyzicene electrum coins (4964-5025) ; and as already men-tioned, some of the Weber Lampsacene staters, had long been considered as priceless gems ; someof these are now among the chief treasures of the National Collection.

There are however a number of other choice pieces of the Weber Collection which cannotbe passed unnoticed : 141. Quincussis of Rome, Eagle with spread wings; rev. Pegasus flyingto 1. (the eighth known specimen); 308. Cumae, Didrachm {Num. Chron., 1896, PL I, i);511.

In conformity with the arrangement adopted by Head, in his Historia Niimorttm, an arrangement which we havestrictly followed throughout this Catalogue, the coins of the Auriol Find Class in the Weber collection are describedhere, under this general heading.

The principal finds of these coins have been made at Saint-Remv in Provence, 1834, Cavaillon, Volterra, Velia,Figueiras, 1868, Morella, 1862, Rosas and Ampurias, but the most important hoard was discovered at Auriol, in theDepartment of the Bouches-du-Rhone, 1867, hence the name under which this class of coins is usually designated.

These coins, which consist of small divisions of a drachm of 60-62 grains, Thirds, Sixths, Twelfths, and Twenty-fourths, were apparently the earliest coins circulated, and later imitated, in Spain, South of France, and littoral ofthe West Mediterranean.

The standard of the coins is that used at Velia, Cumae, Neapolis, and during the first period at Poseidonia.Dr Head remarks " that the varieties found in Spain are less archaic in style than those of the Auriol hoard ".

Notes. Head, Babelon, Sir Arthur Evans and M. P. Vlasto date the incuse Statersmuch earlier (B.C. 560-500) ; however, Arthur Sambon {Revue Ntiinisinatique, 1 91 6),the latest authority who has studied this class of coins, prefers the above dating.

* Now in M. Vlasto's collection. Vlasto, after comparing this coin with the castswhich he possesses of the 50 known specimens of this type has come to the con-clusion that it is from the same dies as the Berlin coin and one of his own (foundat Lecce, 1906). He further states : " La piece Weber porte sous le dauphin, pri-s dela bordure, deux globules (marque de valeur indiquant qu'ii Tarente ces monnaiesvalaient 2 drachmes et non pas 3). Ces globules ont ete ajoutis apris un longusage de ce coin et je ne les ai retrouv^s que sur un seul exemplaire du Cabinet desM^dailles de Paris, n" 121 5.

Owing to the presence of the Vlasto specimen of this type in the 1885 Tarantofind and to the style M. Vlasto now dates this coin to circ. B. C. 3 15, and states thatHead, Evans and himself were all in error in ascribing it to the Hannibalic period.The thunderbolt and API do not belong to this late issue. M.
