Perge was among the most commercially active cities of Pamphylia, and its autonomous bronze issues circulated locally throughout a period when the region changed hands repeatedly — Seleucid, Attalid, and eventually Roman authority each left administrative marks on the city without fully interrupting its civic coinage.
