Table Of ContentINFORMATION TO USERS
This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While
the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document
have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original
submitted.
The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand
markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction.
1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document
photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing
page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages.
This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent
pages to insure you complete continuity.
2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it
is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have
moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a
good image of the page in the adjacent frame.
3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being
photographed the photographer followed a definite method in
"sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper
left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to
right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is
continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until
complete.
4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value,
however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from
"photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver
prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing
the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and
specific pages you wish reproduced.
5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as
received.

PREFACE
The aim of the present study is two-fold: to establish
the fact that Greek coinage of the elassioal period includes a
certain number of numismatic types shich are nothing more nor less
than faithful reproductions of contemporary statues — a thesis
long denied by numismatists — and to present a method whereby
statues and statuettes may be attributed to a given region, in
th is instance, Southern Italy and Sicily, by virtue of carefully
defined numismatic relationships* The opinions of other soholars
about this problem are considered at length in the introduetion
in which the principles of the present method are laid down and
illustrated.
It would be quite imposaible for me to give adequate
acknowledgement to Dr. Earl Lehmann-Hartleben for his part in this
dissertation. I am indebted to him not only for his original fru it
ful suggestion that the present subject was worth investigating and
for ideas too numerous to be duly recorded in the footnotes but,
more especially, for having made his Invaluable guidance and o riti-
ci8m available to me at a ll times. I am also indebted to the staff
of the American Numismatic Society for extending the privileges of
its unique library to me and, in particular, to Mr. Sidney P. Noe
and Mrs. Agnes Baldwin Brett for a number of helpful suggestions.
It is a pleasure to thank Miss Giaela M.A. Richter for having given
this manuscript the benefit of her oritleism .
Finally, I should like to repeat my gratitude to the Alum-
uae Association of wellssley College whieh made this study possible
by awarding me the Horton-Hallowell Fellowship for 1939-1940. Thanks
to the Archaeological Research Fund of New York university, I was
able to supplement these studies by visiting several major South Ita l
ian and Sicilian collections in August 1939 on my return from the
Fund's expedition to Samothrace.
3ome of the results of this study were presented at the
forty-third general meeting of the Archaeological Institute of Amer
ica in December 1941, a brief summary of which appeared in the Amer
ican Journal of Archaeology, XLVI (1942), 119.
