the new types are described by Mr. Postolaccas as follows:—
"Autonomous Coins of Ilium.
"There are fifteen, five of which bear on one side the head of Pallas, in left and right profile, with a three-crested helmet; on the other side a Pallas standing, holding on her right shoulder a spear, in her left hand a spindle, with the legend ΙΛΙ. One of these four coins has a counter-mark with a star. Of the other ten coins eight are perfectly identical with these, the sole difference being that the head of Pallas on them is in three-quarter profile. These fifteen coins are of the Macedonian period. Of the time of the first Roman entrance into Asia Minor appear to be two other autonomous coins, representing on one side Hector 'festinans' and fully armed, holding in his left hand a lance and shield, in his right a firebrand to set fire to the Greek ships, with the legend ΕΚΤΩΡ; on the other side a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, with the legend ΙΛΙ.
