XIX. Account of a Silver Tetradracm, with Siculo-Punic Characters, by the Rev. Stephen Weston, B.D. F.R.S. and F.A S. In a Letter to the Marquis Townshend of Raynham, and Earl of Leicester, President
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
I have the honour to exhibit to your Lordship and the Society a Silver Tetradracm, in fine preservation, with Siculo-Punic characters, of which the two first, the most material, are sufficiently plain to enable me to determine the name of the town to which the coin belongs, which I never could have done from the plates of Barthelemy and Eckhel; who have both published it, but without satisfying themselves that they have read the inscription right. They indeed have given it to Palermo and Imachara, but as this appropriation must depend upon the letters, I shall show that in my coin it is neither the one nor the other, but Camarina.
