| Additional information |
Hydisos was a small inland Carian settlement whose autonomous bronze coinage is attested only through a handful of surviving specimens, making even routine examples genuinely scarce. The city's civic issues were struck during the period of Roman reorganization of Asia Minor following the bequest of the Attalid kingdom in 133 BC, when dozens of minor Carian and Lydian communities briefly asserted issuing rights before provincial consolidation curtailed them.
BMC Greek cites only a single example.
