Note 350 — CANES VENATICI. Class I.

Numismata Siciliæ et Magnæ Græciæ T. xxvi. T. xxxv.

The hare on the reverse of Locrian numismata cannot be considered as proof of the pursuit of such quarry being the popular diversion of the country, nor as militating against the Locrian hound’s introduction here;—for the same impression occurs on other coins—on those of the Falisci, a colony of Argos, and others—having reference to historical or mythological subjects, unconnected with the field sports of the country.
