Abstract:

 

Among the more notable coins of the later Hellenistic period is a series t of gold staters of Ephesos. Some specimens are shown here on Plate A.1-3 I and Plate B.4,6, enlarged to double size. On the obverse is the head of E Artemis to the right, with her typical attribute, the bow and quiver, I protruding from behind her neck. On the reverse we see the cult-statue of I Artemis Ephesia, seemingiy primitive in appearance but not necessarily so r old as it seems: the famous image exists in a considerable number of I reproductions in stone or metal, but mainly of Roman date and so much E later than the first appearance of the image as a minute subsidiary symbol on the silver cistophori minted at Ephesos from about 175-166 B.C. [ onwards (1).
