COINS FROM SOME DEPOSITS IN THE SOUTH STOA AT CORINTH

(PLATES
T

74-75)

HE publication of coins from excavations is rarely tackled with the enthusiasmi and precision accorded to other archaeological material. It almost seems that coins are sacrosanct, and that, whereas the exact context of a lamp or potsherd is naturally published or cited, a coin is somehow otherwise datable. The result is that most Hellenistic bronze coins have only the vaguest forms of chronology. Corinth is a case in point; for the most common coin, of the types Obv. Pegasos Rev. Trident, is assigned the dates " 400-146 B.C.," spanning the whole of the Hellenistic period of the city. This article sets out to publish in full the coins found in connection with other material in five separate deposits from the South Stoa,2 and I hope to show that the coins from carefully executed excavations merit more than the mere list of specimens and quantities which hitherto have been far too common. The deposits may be listed and described as follows:
I POTTERY DEPOSIT FROM SHOP I OF THE SOUTH STOA

(PD)

This deposit, containing quantities of potsherds and fifty-three coins, was found in a rectangular hollow below the level of the floor. The exact purpose of the fill is uncertain, but it contains material up to the middle of the second century, the greater quantity being of the third century. The evidence suggests a certain amount of accumulation or addition to the original fill until the destruction of the city by Mummius in 146 B.C. The main deposit contains the following coins:

Robinson for permission to work on the coins at Corinth, and, throughout, this article is indebted to his co-operation, advice, and encouragement, as well as that of Professor Roger Edwards and Miss Judith Perlzweig (now Mrs. Wolfgang Binder). I am happy to rely on their expert judgment for the dating of the deposits. 3A.J.A., XXXIX, 1935, p. 71; Hesperia, XX, 1951, pp. 297 f.

TERRACOTTADEPOSIT FROM SHOP III OF THE SOUTH STOA (TCD).'

A filling, mainly of figurines, but containing forty-seven coins. Almost all the material is of the third century, but one vase, an unguentarium,5 is to be placed towards the middle of the second century. Of the datable coins, that of Philip V (P1. 74, 20) gives a terminus post quem of 220 B.c., but otherwise nothing opposes a late third century, or early second century date. The fine condition of the above coin and of the coin of Ptolemy III (P1. 75, 17) might indeed confirm such a date for the bulk of the material. The following coins were found:

The only other sherd to be found is from a third century Megarian bowl.

III DEPOSIT FROM SHOP XXXII OF TTIE SOUTH STOA (S)6 This is an accumulateddeposit from below the probable floor level. The original fill, possibly of the fourth century, has been addedto from time to time up to the middle of the second century, as if the floor had required bolstering. Certain Byzantine intrusions, not included in the list below, lessen our confidence in using the material; but most of the coins must have been placed in the deposit prior to the destruction of 146 B.C.

IV THE WELLS OF THE SOUTH STOA.7 The bulk of the material for this article comes from the twenty-three wells which contain coins. In many cases the excavators were able to distinguish between a deposit of habitational fill (here abbreviated " a "), a destruction deposit of the debris from the Mummian destruction of 146 B.C., thrown into many of the wells and closing them
6 A.J.A., XXXVII, 1933, p. 566. 7For a description of these, see Corinth, I, iv, pp. 59 f.

352

M. JESSOP PRICE

soon after the foundation of the colony in 44 B.C. (abbreviated " d "), and, occasionally, later fills and disturbances (abbreviated " e " for early Roman fills, and " g " for later material). It is important to distinguish clearly between the various fills, and this is best achieved by a full list well by well. The particular context of individual coins is then seen at a glance, and, more important, the true make-up of the deposits can be more easily appreciated. Eighteen wells contain distinct fills of destruction debris, each datable to 146 B.C., and thus give an overall picture of the coins circulating at the time of the disaster. Similarly, the twelve clear deposits of habitation accumulation give a fair idea of coins found, and perhaps used, at Corinth prior to the destruction of this city. Outside such a picture are, of course, coins from possible hoards. There are two, both of Egyptian coins, one of which has been fully published by Miss here. The other is a group of eight coins Thompson and needs no further commnent of Ptolemy III found together in Well XXX, possibly dropped by accident into the habitation fill.

The general catalogue, giving a full description of individual coins, is to be found at the end of the article. It must be rememberedthat the coins are often in a poor state of preservation due to the corrosion from acids and water in the soil; and, therefore, the catalogue describes only as much of the type as is visible or easily restored. Even when certain identification is possible, dating is usually only vague. The lack of close study of many of the series does not lead to confidence in dates which hang on historical pegs. At Sikyon for example the traditional dates do not agree with the evidence of these deposits, and in the above lists I have taken the liberty of including the dates concluded from the deposits themselves. In general, the more vague the dating, the less likely are we to fall into errors. As far as Corinth is concerned, this article makes only a preliminary examination of the chronology of the coin series, and therefore no dates are here given. The catalogue describes the coins from seventy-nine mints and monarchs. The coins of Amphipolis and Tenos are of rather doubtful attribution. The types seem clear and are satisfactory; but the flans are unusually small. The coin given to Lampsakos (No. 129) has no parallel, but the inscriptionAA [M] is clear enough. The coins generally attributed to Alliba in Campania (No. 24) are equally rare, and that two examples occur in the same well is indeed interesting. It definitely suggests the possibility that amongst the coins of the habitation deposit are some which were unacceptable in transactions and were deliberately thrown away by shopkeeper or customer into the shop well. In a similar category may be placed the coins of Salamis, four coming from Well IX, and the odd specimens of Tenos, Ephesos, Miletos, Salamis in Cyprus, Sidon, etc.

A coin of real importance is that of Athens, obv. Athene rev. Zeus, from the Pottery Deposit (No. 70). This is to be placed without doubtbefore 146 B.c., and is one of the earliest published contexts for the series.9 The coin shows considerable wear, although the types are clearly visible, and may well have been in circulation for some time before the laying of the deposit. The beginning of this long and stable series 10 may coincide with the introduction of the controversial New Style silver coinage; and, if so, the apparentwear of this coin, together with its certain deposit prior to 146 B.C., would strongly support an early date for the beginning of that silver series.1' A further coin of Athens, obv. Cicada rev. Amphora, from the destruction deposit of Well X (No. 73), indicates a probabledate before 146 B.C. for the beginning of that series also. The Roman uncial bronze from Well XX (No. 145) provides interesting confirmationof the higher dating for the Roman coinage as a whole, recently advocatedby R. Thomsen.2 This issue, with symbol star, was dated by Sydenham to ca. 155 B.C.; 13 but M. H. Crawford has pointed out to me an overstrike 14 which would place this coin some twenty years later in the relative chronology. The destruction deposit now gives a probable date prior to 146 B.C. for the issue. It must be pointed out, however, at this point that there are a few intrusions which found their way into the debris after the destruction of the city. There are two early duovir coins, and a tessera overstruck on a duovir issue (Plate 74, 10). Two coins of Patras (No. 107), from the same wells as the duovir coins, Wells V and VII, are also usually dated after 146 B.C. However, of the 188 coins from the destruction debris, only these five do not clearly fit a date in the middle of the second century. There is no need to list other coins from unusual cities, for the catalogue stands as a sufficientcommentaryon the widespread notion that bronze coins travelled rarely, and but short distances. The quantities of coins of Ptolemy III are one of the most striking features of the deposits. The numerous later coins of Egypt are mainly from the " hoard " in Well XIX; but the coins of Ptolemy III are scattered throughout the wells and other
The same issue also appears in the Komos Cistern in the Athenian Agora (deposit number M 21:1). This also contains material down to the middle of the second century; D. B.

deposits, and it is therefore difficultto escape the conclusion that these, all of the same type and issue, were used as common currency at Corinth. In noting a similar phenomenonat Asea in Arcadia,"5 Mme. Varoucha-Christodoulopoulouhas made the plausible suggestion that this issue represents the payment, mentioned by Plutarch, which Ptolemy gave to Aratus.'6 If this gift was in bronze coin, it may reflect somewhat on our general ideas of the passing of bronze from one city to another. But we must return to this theme later. To facilitate the appreciation of the general pattern of the circulation at Corinlth in the late third and early second century, a brief geographical analysis of the deposits is useful: PD ?PD S TCD ?TCD Wells A Wells D Corinth 23 Macedonian Kings 1 North Greece 4 14 Sikyon 2 Peloponnese Egypt 1 Other Illegible 8 Totals 53 28 4 4 3 3

Is it possible from the comparison of these deposits to tell how far the coins found were used as currency? The number of coins is not great, and therefore we must be hesitant in making general conclusions. There are, however, three types of deposit. Some are from fills or packing to floors, suggesting the use of rubbish or unwanted material. In these circumstances the coins were probably lost haphazardly, and their intentional inclusion, except perhaps for a few possibly useless coins, seems unlikely.'" The destruction fill of the wells, secondly, is certainly debris from a destroyed building, including shops, and the coins are likely to represent currency in circulation at the time of the disaster, a few bronze coins abandoned in the last moments of chaos. Thirdly, the habitation fill from the wells is an accumulativedeposit, many of the coins, such as those of silver, accidently lost, but including some, as suggested above,'8 which may have been thrown away intentionally.
Plutarch, Aratus, XLI; Cleomenes, XIX. In the case of the Terracotta Deposit the material seems to have come from a sanctuary. It is possible that it is the debris from a building destroyed in the Roman capture of Corinth in 198 B.C. (Livy, XXXII, 23, f); in which case the type of deposit should really be classed with the destruction deposit of the wells. 18 Above, p. 361.

Although the deposits do thus differ in nature, there is a significant similarity of composition. Macedonia is consistently represented, with some increase in numbers in the habitation deposits of the wells, which, it will be remembered,were being formed during Demetrios Poliorketes' and Antigonos Gonatas' occupation of the city. In the habitation fills, of the 23 coins from outside mainland Greece, 18 are of Ptolemy III, 8 of them from the possible " hoard " in Well XXX. This compares with 10 out of 16 in the destruction deposits. Indeed, the proportion of foreign to Corinthian coins in these seven separate lists of coins is so similar that, within reason, we may consider them fairly representative of the types of coin to be found daily at Corinth. The one notable difference between the habitation and destruction deposits is indeed the opposite of what might be expected. For, in the destruction deposits of the wells, which of all seems most likely to represent a fair cross-section of currency, there is an enormous increase in the numbers of coins of the neighboring city, Sikyon-55 examples as opposedto only 61 Corinthian coins. The habitation deposits have only 13 out of a total of 149; the Terracotta Deposit 3 out of 47. Fifteen of the fifty-five coins of Sikyon in the destruction deposit are of the series with obv. dove flying 1. with magistrates' initials; and seventeen are with dove flying 1. without such initials, or with the initials illegible. In the other deposits, naone of the Sikyonian coins have magistrates' initials, and only one in the ? Pottery Deposit and two in the habitation fills have the dove flying 1. This strongly suggests that the series with initials should be dated to the first half of the second century, probably after 196 B.c."9 Furthermore, the increase of Sikyonian coins noted above in the destruction deposit seems to be mainly at the expense of the coins of Corinth; for, whereas the total number of coins increases from 149 to 188, there are only 3 more coins of Corinth in the destruction deposit than in that of habitation. In an attempt to explain this apparent infiltration of Sikyonian material, we must consider the coins native to Corinth herself. There are five main types from the Corinthian mint represented in the deposits, all, except the obv. Pegasos rev. Trident, of considerable rarity, and, since this rarity extends to the total number of examples extant today, all are possibly of short duration. The obv. Pegasos rev. Trident is subdiavided numerous series by the symbol into on the reverse. At present it is assumed that they continue down to the destruction of the city, and, although this article can be no more than a preliminary discussion of
19At present they are dated 251-146 B3.Cin the standard catalogues. There is a large hoard of the Sikyonian series with magistrates' initials, lodged in the Corinth Museum. It includes a worn coin of Athens, similar in all respects to that in the Pottery Deposit, and there. seems to be little doubt that the hoard is to be dated to the time of the disturbances of 146 B.c. The latest magistrate is EY, of which series three appear in the destruction deposit.

the series,20 may inspect the examples found in our deposits with a possible view to we chronology. It is clear at once that, since the types Herakles/Protome of Pegasos, Athene/ Pegasos, and Athene/Zeus all appear in the Terracotta Deposit, they date in all probability before 200 B.C. Similarly, two of the four examples of Poseidon/Bellerophon are found in the habitation deposit, from Wells V and XXX, and are probably to be placed some time before 146 B.C. On style it would seem that this last type was a contemporary larger denomination to the two denominations Herakles/Protome of Pegasos and Athene/Pegasos. Athene/Zeus would seem on style to be earlier in the third century. Herakles/Protome of Pegasos, however, is of the same size, and possibly passed at the same value as the Pegasos/Trident. It is reasonable to assume that two types of the same denomination were not issued at exactly the same time, and therefore we must either place all the Pegasos/Tridents before this type, and before 200 B.C., or we must postulate a gap in their issue with a group that should be clearly discernible in the deposits, dating after ca. 200 B.C. In turning to a detailed inspection of the Pegasos/Tridents series in the deposits, we must realize that a bronze coin once issued might stay in circulation for a considerable period of time; and the fact that foreign coins of the fourth century are not rare in the deposits of the first half of the second century must suggest that there was little calling in of old coin at
Corinth.2'

The following varieties of the Pegasos Tridents are found in the destruction and habitation fills of the wells:

A detailed study of the bronze coinage of Hellenistic Corinth will be published soon after the appearance of this article. 21 For this reason the coins of the habitation deposit are of no help in determining the date of the building of the South Stoa, e.g. in Corinth, T. iv. p. 64, note 30. From the evidence of the alloy E. R. Caley suggests in The Composition of Greek Bronze Coinage, p. 150 that bronze coin could have been called in from time to time.

At the same time there are in the habitation fills several varieties not present later. The habitation deposits do not represent the entire accumulation from the beginning of the wells' use; for there is evidenceto show that the wells were cleaned out from time to time,22so that in the main the material found may cover little more than the last century of occupation. However, it is clear that there is little difference to be noted between the varieties of the Pegasos/Trident coins. Both the Pottery Deposit and the deposit from Shop XXXII are accumulated fills, and do not add much to help us; but they confirm and supplement the picture of the habitation fill of the wells. Both contain the A? Amphora variety, the Pottery Deposit contains the EY Ares and the ?Pottery Deposit, Cornucopiae. There are only two varieties, therefore, IE and Pileus AY, which might, on the evidence of the destruction fill, be placed towards the middle of the second century.23 Comparison with the late third century Terracotta Deposit takes us a stage further. Two examples of EY Ares and four of A? Amphora confirm that these were minted before 200 B.c., and on the whole there is remarkably little difference between the varieties here represented,the deposits accumulateddown to 146 B.C., and the destruction deposit of the wells. Certainly there is no clear distinction between an earlier group of Pegasos/Tridents prior to the issue of Herakles/Protome of Pegasos, and a later group after ca. 200 B.C.; and it is possible that the issue of Pegasos/ Tridents had ceased completely before the Herakles/Protome of Pegasos, and thereI am grateful to Professor Edwards for this information. The cleaning out was not always very thorough, leaving small deposits of early material. But clearly it must reflect on our attitude towards the habitation deposit as a whole. 23 For EY on the silver staters see Ravel, Les poulains de Corinthe, II, p. 268, nos. 1086-1090. to be dated at the end of the fourth century.

fore some time before 200 B.C. The continuation of the coins in circulation naturally accounts for the similarity of composition that we have noted. Here we may find useful once again the above analysis of the deposits. In the Terracotta Deposit, which we have assumed to contain coin issued before ca. 200 B.C., 36 of the total 47 coins are Corinthian. In the accumulateddeposits the numbers are considerably less, between a third and half of the total coins being from Corinth. In the destruction deposit of the wells, less than a third are Corinthian. This steady diminution is admittedly based on the handful of coins which happen to be preserved in the deposits and are legible; but it argues against considerableissues from the local mint during the first half of the second century, and substantiates the theory that Corinth had ceased to mint bronze coin by about 200 B.C. For, with the issues of Herakles/Protome of Pegasos, Athene/Pegasos, and Poseidon/Bellerophon seemingly short, and probablybefore 200 B.C., we must postulate a gap in the autonomous issues from ca. 196 B.C. until the destruction of the city of 146 B.C.2" Since the settlement of 196 B.C. was supposed to bring freedom to Corinth,25it is of considerable surprise to find that Corinth was not issuing her own bronze coin. We find, however, that the mint was producing silver for the Achaean League,26 and possibly the few bronze League pieces known from Corinth also date to this time.27 If, then, Corinth was politically subject to the League, the notable quantities of Sikyonian bronze coins found in the destruction deposit take on a new significance. The coinage of the neighboring city was being purposely introduced to supplement the coinage circulating in Corinth herself. We have noted two issues in these deposits whose regular appearance suggests that they circulated commonly at Corinth, issues of Ptolemy III and of Sikyon. We may return, then, to a further consideration of the use of foreign coin in general. The coins of Sikyon seem to be an official supplement to the coinage in circulation during the first half of the second century. In size the coins are much the same as the Pegasos/Tridents, and, being the smallest denominationat both cities, probablypassed at the same value. Amongst the autonomous issues of Corinth there are three denominations, represented by the types No. 2, Pegasos/Trident (10-13 mm.), No. 4, Athene/Pegasos (13-16 mm.) and No. 6, Poseidon/Bellerophon (16-20 mm.). Corinth issued relatively few of the latter two denominations, and it is illuminating to compare sizes of the foreign coins in these deposits:
24 Comparison with coins from deposits of the third century confirm the arrangement here suggested from deposits of the second century, and further show that the Pegasos/Tridents came to an end well before 200 B.C. 25 26

Plutarch,Flamtininus, 4. X, 12, nos. 139-142.

The evidence of the Agrinion hoard is decisive. See M. Thompson, Nun. Chron., 1962, p. 320 f.

Not included in the above figures are 37 coins of Egypt, mostly belonging to the hoard of Well XIX, and the bronze of Rome in Well XX, all of which are much larger than A, the largest denomination of Corinthian issues. It is clear, however, that with the exception of Sikyon, much of the foreign coin falls into the two larger denominations not representedby Corinth's own issues; and in particular we must note the 31 coins of Macedon and the 41 coins of Ptolemy III, which would seem to provide most of the coin for denomination A. Apart from the influx of Sikyonian small denominations between 196 B.C. and 146 B.C., denomination C was mainly catered for by native B coin; whereas the larger denomi1nations and A came for the most part from outside. This conclusion is of considerableimportance,since foreign coin was not only imported and used at Corinth, but its use generally for larger denominations may have been a conscious policy.28 In passing we may note the five examples of the Boeotian issue obv. Shield rev. Trident (No. 59), which in size, type, and denomination could easily have passed for the issue of Corinth. It is not impossible that the introduction of such coins was a deliberate attempt to deceive; but such instances are rare, and the evidence leads us to suppose that, on the contrary, there was wide acceptance of foreign coin, particularly of the larger denominations.29 The lack of denominationA at Corinth and elsewhere in the Peloponnese goes far to explain the popularityof the issue of Ptolemy III. The bronze issues of the Achaean League are of the same size, and it is possible that the circulation of both was a conscious political policy to oust the quantities of Macedoniancoin of the same denomination which had hitherto circulated in Corinth and other cities. This article has attempted to present certain problems connected with the use
28 It is normal for at least a third of the coins from excavations to be from outside the native city. The majority naturally come from surrounding cities, and apart from Corinth there is no clear preference for larger or smaller denominations. However, it urges even greater caution to those who would use the evidence of coins for topography. 29 It is possible that these were accepted at Corinth at a reduction on the value at which they were originally minted; but even so, it is difficult to believe that they passed as the same denomination as the Pegasos/Tridents.

and function of bronze coinage. A small and insignificant city may be expected to have borrowed coin from a larger neighbor to boost the circulation of her bronze coinage; but these deposits suggest that Corinth, a large and importantpolitical center, had ceased to issue autonomous coins by ca. 200 B.C., and for the next fifty years, in spite of her supposed freedom, relied considerablyon the coins of neighboring Sikyon. Further, the intentional use of foreign coin is noted to an even greater extent in the larger bronze denominations. Even if Corinth was a particularly Panhellenic meeting place, this is an interesting commentary on the ancient attitude as a whole to bronze coin. GENERALCATALOGUE
