| Additional information |
Ephesos in this period was caught between competing Hellenistic powers — Ptolemaic Egypt held the city through much of the third century before Antiochus III wrested it away during his western campaigns, culminating in his taking of the city around 196 BC. Civic bronze issues like this one continued under both overlords, the city retaining enough administrative autonomy to mint locally even as its political allegiance shifted by conquest.
The SNG Copenhagen references group this type across two sequential entries, suggesting die-link variation rather than a single unified emission.
