Amyntas was a client king installed by Mark Antony following the defeat of the last Galatian tetrarch, Castor. He ruled a patchwork territory that included Galatia, Lycaonia, Pisidia, and parts of Pamphylia — one of the largest kingdoms Rome had assembled in Anatolia in generations. His coinage at Cremna reflects this administrative complexity: the city served as a key stronghold in his Pisidian holdings, a region he never fully pacified. When Amyntas died in 25 BC fighting the Homonadeis, Augustus simply annexed the kingdom rather than appoint a successor.
