OLD ROMAN NAMES.
I'lir
Peculiar System Tlint Wun Ii
Inc Ii tliv Nn'iilll.v.
The noble Roumm were peculiar In
their sys'oin of nomou-hiture. Thrj
had the praenomeu, the nor.ien and tin
cognomen. The firs I of tlioe distil,
gulshed the huuvi.ltr.l ir.ul vrns cqulv.i
lent to our CI:"' -fin or baptismal
name. It was usually Indicated by ::
single letter, as A. for Auhw, or by
two letters, as A p. for Appius, or three.
as Ser. for Servlus. The noincn was
distinctive of the gens or clan and has
no corresponding appellative among us.
The cognomen was placed last and des
ignated tho famillnc, precisely answer
ing to our surname. Sometimes a
fourth name was added, the agnomen,
In consequence of a renowned action,
some conspicuous event of life or fen
ture of character. Sclplo, In addition to
his regular names, was styled Africa
nus after his conquest of Carthage.
The name Gerinanlcus was assumed
by those who distinguished themselves
in the wars with the Germans.
In femalo names tho Romans Indulg
ed but small variety of appellation,
and fancy had little or nothing to do
with their Invention and bestowal.
When there was but one daughter In a
family she received the feminine ter
mination of her gentile name, as Till
Ha, the daughter of Marcus Ttillltis
Cicero, and Octavlae, the sister of Oc
tavlus Caesar, etc., which names wore
retained even after marriage. When
there were two (laughters one was
called Major and tho other Minor, as
Cornelia Major and Cornelia Minor.
If there wore more than two they wcro
distinguished by their number, thus:
Prima, Secunda, Tcrtla, Quarta, etc.
GREEK COINS.
How the Ancient Tented the Fnrltr
of the Metal.
Tho first coins of gold and silver that
have come down to us are now dated
as a rule In the time of CrocHUS, who
lived about the middle of the sixth
century B. C.
It may readily be Imagined that a
mere lump of gold, supposed to bo of
a certain weight, would be subject to
skepticism unless It were guaranteed
by somo recognized authority. So, In
order to savo rewelghlng and testing
at each transaction, these Ingots or
coins were stamped with tho authorlta
tlvo mark of a prluco or state. So
stamped they becomo the truo coins
In spite of tho fact that, contrary to
modern custom, they were not at all
regular.
But, fn spite of tho guarantee that
might bo afTorded by tho mark of a
state or a prince, wo find tho GreekH
applying certain tests to determine tho
genuineness of the currency offered to
, them, riatlng was easily detected by
Jabbing tho suspoctcd coin with some
sharp Instrument. At other times the
touchstone was used. One which wns
known as tho "Lydlan stone" was sup
posed to reveal a proportion of foreign
metal ns small as a barley corn In a
stater. Another tost, In tho caso of sil
ver, was to polish tho coin and then
breathe on It If tho molsturo quickly
disappeared the metal was pure. Yet
another way to detect alloy was to
heat the coin or coins on redhot Iron.
If the metal was unalloyed It remain
ed bright, If mixed' with other sub
stances it turned black or red accord
ing as It was moro or less Impure
