100 It is described by ancient writers and figured on coins. See Tacitus, _Hist._ ii. 3; Maximus Tyrius, _Dissert._ viii. 8; Servius on Virgil, _Aen._ i. 720; T. L. Donaldson, _Architectura Numismatica_, p. 107, with fig. 31; _Journal of Hellenic Studies_, ix. (1888) pp. 210-212. According to Maximus Tyrius, the material of the pyramid was unknown. Probably it was a stone. The English archaeologists found several fragments of white cones on the site of the temple at Paphos: one which still remains in its original position in the central chamber was of limestone and of somewhat larger size (_Journal of Hellenic Studies_, ix. (1888) p. 180). 101 See above, p. 14. 102 On coins of Perga the sacred cone is represented as richly decorated and standing in a temple between sphinxes. See B. V. Head, _Historia Numorum_ (Oxford, 1887), p. 585; P. Gardner, _Types of Greek Coins_ (Cambridge, 1883), pl. xv. No. 3; G. F. Hill, _Catalogue of the Greek Coins of Lycia, Pamphylia, and Pisidia_ (London, 1897), pl. xxiv. 12, 15, 16. However, Mr. G. F. Hill writes to me: “Is the stone at Perga really a cone? I have always thought it was a cube or something of that kind. On the coins the upper, sloping portion is apparently an elaborate veil or head-dress. The head attached to the stone is seen in the middle of this, surmounted by a tall _kalathos_.” The sanctuary stood on a height, and a festival was held there annually (Strabo, xiv. 4. 2, p. 667). The native title of the goddess was _Anassa_, that is, “Queen.” See B. V. Head, _l.c._; Wernicke, _s.v._ “Artemis,” in Pauly-Wissowa, _Real-Encyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft_, ii. 1, col. 1397. Aphrodite at Paphos bore the same title. See below, p. 42, note 6. The worship of Pergaean Artemis at Halicarnassus was cared for by a priestess, who held office for life and had to make intercession for the city at every new moon. See G. Dittenberger, _Sylloge Inscriptionum Graecarum_2 (Leipsic, 1898-1901), vol. ii. p. 373, No. 601.
