| Additional information |
Madytos was a small Greek settlement on the Thracian Chersonese, positioned at the narrowest point of the Hellespont where it faces Abydos — the same strait Xerxes bridged with boats in 480 BC and where Leander supposedly swam to Hero. The city's coinage is sparse enough that individual die studies are practical, and the Paris and Copenhagen specimens cited here have served as the anchor references for the type precisely because so few others have surfaced in documented collections.
