To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

, Atlas [1872], PI. I = Reinach, Vases, I, 37) may represent the Parthenon and thus localize the scene as occurring on the Acropolis of Athens. In a vase from Ruvo showing Orestes in Tauris {Mon. D. Inst. , II, PL XLIII = Reinach, Vases, I, 105) the temple and altar indicate a sacred precinct and the figure of Artemis above suggests that this is her precinct.
Many of the symbols which have been noted as appearing on coins were stamped there for the express purpose of identifying the issuing aut
...hority. This applies particularly to the canting, commercial, and agonistic types. Identification of mintage is the intent and purpose of the seal (6inri) at Phocaea, the rose {pbbov) at Rhodes, the lion's head at Leontini, the table (rpairet a) at Trapezus, the fox (dXco7rr/^) at Alopeconnesus, etc. (for lists of canting symbols cf. Hill, Handbook, pp. 176 f. ; Macdonald, Coin Types, pp. 18 f. , and Head, H. N. , under "canting" in Index Rerum). Similarly, the wine jar of Chios, the wine cup and grapes of Naxos, the silphium of Cyrene, and the mussel of Cumae indicating the chief industry of these cities came to have the significance of a trade-mark.
