| Additional information |
Alabanda, a city in Caria, was renamed Antiochia on the Maeander during the reign of Antiochus III, a designation that places this bronze squarely within the turbulent aftermath of his western campaigns. The city reverted to its original name following the Peace of Apamea in 188 BC, which stripped Seleucid authority from Asia Minor and transferred Carian territories into the Roman sphere of influence — making this issue a product of a city mid-identity crisis, administratively speaking.
