| Additional information |
Antandros, a coastal city in the Troad, had an unusually complicated political history for a minor mint — passed between Persian satrapal control and various Greek alliances throughout the fourth century, it briefly gained enough autonomy to strike its own civic bronze during this window. The city's name itself was disputed in antiquity; Thucydides records it as a point of strategic contention during the Peloponnesian War, and Persian interest in the harbor never fully lapsed.
Small civic bronzes of this type circulated hyperlocally and rarely traveled far. CN 21492 is sparsely documented in trade records.
