I have another brass Phœnician medal of Sidon[186], not a little
resembling those above-mentioned, both in workmanship and size,
presenting to our view on one side the head of Jupiter, and on the
other a human figure with a lance in its right hand. This coin, which
has never yet been published, is adorned with a Phœnician legend
on the reverse, different from those of all the others that have
hitherto appeared. I therefore judged that a draught of it would not
be unacceptable, though the date imprest originally in the exergue
(answering to the 26th year of Sidon) has a little suffered from the
injuries of time.
