| Additional information |
Aigeai (modern Yumurtalık on the Turkish coast) was a minor Cilician city whose bronze coinage spans the transition from Seleucid dominance to Roman provincial reorganization — a period in which local civic mints were frequently suspended, revived, or absorbed depending on which regional power needed them compliant. The SNG France references place this piece within a well-documented but chronologically loose sequence; pinning individual strikes within that 137-year window remains genuinely difficult without hoard provenance.
