The next Phœnician medal of Sidon, which I shall take the liberty here to describe, is a small brass one[187], now in my hands, with a veiled head on the anterior face, and the prow of a ship on the reverse. M. Bouterouë[188], who has published it, rightly asserts it to be a Phœnician coin. The year of Sidon, preserved in the exergue of mine, is 74; and that in the exergue of M. Bouterouë’s, 73, though the first numeral character of the latter is somewhat deformed.
