| Additional information |
Bargylia was a coastal city in Caria whose civic coinage survived well into the Roman provincial period, largely because the city retained nominal autonomy under Rome after 129 BC when the region became part of the province of Asia. The SNG von Aulock 2517 reference places this squarely within that long autonomous civic series — issues produced not by imperial mandate but by local magistrates exercising residual municipal rights.
