Zeus : a study in ancient religion . The Mountain-cults of Zeus 981 Mount Kasion^.. Heliopolis {Baalbek), has obv. head of Zeus, laureate, to right, rev. a temple with two columns, from each of which hangs a fillet, and two steps, on which is the inscription XAAKI AGHN. Within the temple is a conical stone bound with a fillet {Brit. Mus. Cat. Coins Galatia, etc. pp. liv, 279 no. i pi. 33, fo ( = my fig. 879), Head Hist, num.^ p. 655 (but not ib.^ p. 783)). W. M. Leake Niimismata Hellenica London 1854 Asiatic Greece p. 41 had assigned a similar specimen in his collection to Chalkis [Kinnesrin) near Beroia {Aleppo). De Visser De Gr. diis non ref. spec. hum. p. 41 f, 167 ^~~^ -p- g_ treats this conical stone as a primitive a-yaXixa of Zeus. And he may well be right {supra i. 521 n. o), though it should be remembered that Imhoof-Blumer Monn. gr. p. 222 f. referred bronze coins with a like rev. and obv. dolphin round trident (p. 222 no. 60) or head of Hera (p. 223 nos. 63 and 64) to Chalkis in Euboia (so also Head Hist, nuni.^ p. 360, Anson, Num. Gr. v. 19 nos. 133—135)
