ATHENAE.-Athens, the most celebrated city of Greece, situate in that part of Achaia, called Attica.-There is a tetradrachm inscribed COS. 111. with the figure of Minerva standing; with regard to which Vaillant (Pr. ii. 140) is of opinion, that the Athenians struck this coin, in memory of the benefits which Hadrian had liberally bestowed on their city, in which, according to Spartianus, he passed the winter of the year of Rome 875 (B.C. 122).
