| Additional information |
Lappa was one of the more isolated inland cities of western Crete, and its bronze coinage was produced entirely for local exchange — it never achieved the wider circulation of coastal minting centers like Kydonia or Gortyn. The city survived the Roman conquest of Crete in 67 BC largely intact, which is more than can be said for Kydonia, razed by Metellus's campaign.
