Æ16

Thymbra was a small settlement in the Troad, the region surrounding ancient Troy, known primarily as the site where, according to tradition, Achilles was killed by Paris. The town's autonomous coinage is rare and poorly documented — the issuing authority was minor enough that its bronzes circulated in a highly localized area, likely serving agricultural and market exchange within a few kilometers. Few hoards containing Thymbraean issues have been recorded, which makes die-linkage studies across the series nearly impossible.
