Melos. The important hoard of Melian staters referred to supra,
p. 486 n., has recently been fully described by M. R. Jameson in Rev.
Num., 1909, pp. 188 ff. It consisted of some 79 staters of the Phoenician
standard (circ. 220 grs.), exhibiting no less than 31 different reverse types.
With the single exception of an oenochoë (op. cit., No. 26), the obverse type
from first to last is the pomegranate, or rather quince (μηλον), the type
parlant of the island. The inscription usually, but not always, present, in
full or abbreviated, on the reverse is 
ΑΛΙCΝ, 
ΑΛΙCΝ, and later
ΜΑΛΙΟΝ. The reverse types comprise, in addition to those already
mentioned supra, p. 486, the following :—Four-pronged fork; Wasp on
bunch of grapes; Triskeles; Pentagram; Murex (?); Fig-leaf; Two caps
of Kabeiri, one on top of the other; Gorgoneion; Four grains of corn
in star-form, with ivy-leaves between them; Amphora; &c.
The coins in this Find seem to range from circ. B.C. 500 or later to
B.C. 416, the date of the conquest of Melos by Athens, and they prove
that, during this period, the island must have been, at any rate within
its own territory, the most wealthy of all the Aegean islands. The survival, down to the middle of the fifth century at least, of the Phoenician
forms of the letters Μ ( and ) and Ο (C), and of the Phoenician weight-standard, indicate that the influence of the original Phoenician settlers
was still strong in spite of the later Dorian immigration. The extraordinary variety of the types, and the fact that no specimens have been
found outside Melos, lead us to suppose that their circulation was mainly
local, and that they represent successive issues probably struck on the
occasions of recurrent religious festivals, chiefly perhaps connected with
the worship of the Phoenician Kabeiri, of the Libyan Ammon (cf. the
Rams’ heads and the Pentagram, his symbol on coins of Pitane, supra,
p. 537), and of Aristaeos (Grapes, corn-grains, stars, &c.); cf. Cyrene,
p. 865.
