| Additional information |
Aineia was a small Macedonian coastal city whose coinage output was modest and chronologically compressed. The city claimed descent from Aeneas himself — a foundation myth that shaped its civic identity long before Rome appropriated the same legend. Bronze issues of this type were produced during a period when Aineia sat uncomfortably between Macedonian expansion under Archelaus and later Perdiccas III, a geographic and political position that likely curtailed both population and mint output.
The SNG ANS 7 specimen catalogued as #75 provides the primary reference anchor for attribution of this type.
