p. 31, l. 20. From some remarks made to me by my learned friend, Count de Vogüé, I fear that this is not so certain a characteristic of Phœnician architecture as has been commonly supposed. He assigns some of the bevelled stones which occur in Phœnicia to the age of the Crusades.
p. 31, last line. For the very remarkable Phœnician sarcophagus discovered in 1855, and for various references to authorities on Phœnician antiquities, see Smith’s Dict. of the Bible, Vol. II. p. 868, and Vol. III. p. 1850.
p. 36. As a general work on Greek and Roman Coins Eckhel’s Doctrina Numorum Veterum (Vindobonæ, 1792-1828, with Steinbuchel’s Addenda, 8 Vols. 4to.) still remains the standard, though now getting a little out of date.
The same remark must be made of Mionnet’s great work, Description de Médailles Antiques, Grecques et Romaines, Paris, 1806-1813 (7 Vols.), with a supplement of 9 Vols. Paris, 1818-1837, giving a very useful Bibliothèque Numismatique at the end; to which must be added his Poids des Médailles Grecques, Paris, 1839. These seventeen volumes comprise the Greek coins: the other part of his work, De la Rareté et du Prix des Médailles Romaines, Paris, 1827, in two volumes, is now superseded.
Since Mionnet’s time certain departments of Greek and other ancient numismatics have been much more fully worked out, especially by the following authors:
De Luynes (coins of Satraps; also of Cyprus); L. Müller (coins of Philip and Alexander; of Lysimachus; also of Ancient Africa); Pinder (Cistophori); Beulé (Athenian coins); Lindsay (Parthian coins); Longpérier, and more recently Mordtmann (coins of the Sassanidæ); Carelli’s plates described by Cavedoni (coins of Magna Græcia, &c.); other works of Cavedoni (Various coins); Friedländer (Oscan coins); Sambon (coins of South Italy); De Saulcy, Levy, Madden (Jewish coins); V. Langlois (Armenian, also early Arabian coins); J. L. Warren (Greek Federal coins; also more recently, copper coins of Achæan League); R. S. Poole (coins of the Ptolemies); Waddington (Unedited coins of Asia Minor).
For Roman and Byzantine coins (including Æs grave and Contorniates) see the works of Marchi and Tessieri, Cohen, Sabatier, and De Saulcy.
Others, as Prokesch-Osten, Leake, Smyth, Hobler, and Fox, have published their collections or the unedited coins of them; and all the numismatic periodicals contain various previously unedited Greek and Roman and other ancient coins.
p. 40. Fabretti’s work is entitled, Glossarium Italicum in quo omnia vocabula continentur ex Umbricis, Sabinis, Oscis, Volscis, Etruscis, cæterisque monumentis collecta, et cum interpretationibus variorum explicantur (Turin, 1858-1864). Many figures of the antiquities, on which the words occur, are given in their places.
p. 43. Cromlechs in some, if not in all cases, appear to be the skeletons of barrows.
