Damajan, together with the object it repre- sents, is to be found sculptured on the Pharaonic tombs of Thebes (Wilkinson's " Ancient Egyptians "). Cash is from karshapana, a coin or weight in the time of Manou, and mentioned in his " Code." * In addition to these pieces, " others are mentioned by ancient authors 196 HISTORY OF MONEY IN ANCIENT COUNTRIES.
Many numismatists have doubted that these ingots were at all Roman, and have ascribed them to neighbouring Italian states/ Indeed, the only re...ason for ascribing them to Rome is the mischievous passage in Pliny from Timseus.
Respect for the antiquity of this literary fragment alone renders it necessary to discuss its credibility.
It has been noticed by critical observers that the effigies or symbols on these ingots, though apparently rude, are the work of highly finished artists, and are really rude only in the respect that they are designed with a bold and free hand.
This circumstance assigns the pieces to a period either long before or long after that of Servius Tullius ; for, although artists of this era evinced skill in some respects, they were wanting in that mastery of delineating human and animal forms which first manifested itself in the Greek schools of the sixth century B.C., and only made its way to Rome at a much later period.
