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.
