Æ16 - Mostrene

Mostene was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage was struck intermittently across the Hellenistic period, likely tied to local festival cycles or administrative needs rather than sustained commercial demand. The city sat in the Hermus River valley, a region that changed hands repeatedly between Seleucid and Pergamene control before passing to Rome after the dissolution of the Attalid kingdom in 133 BC.

SNG Ashmolean 803 provides the principal reference point for attribution, the Ashmolean's Lydian holdings being among the more systematically catalogued for this region.
