Aanvullende informatie	Axos was an ancient city-state in the Mesara region of central Crete, one of the few Cretan poleis to maintain continuous autonomous coinage across several centuries. Bronze civic issues of this type circulated within a deeply fragmented island political environment — Crete's cities rarely formed lasting alliances, and local coinage served as much as a marker of civic identity as a practical medium of exchange. The terminal date of 67 BC corresponds to Quintus Caecilius Metellus's Roman conquest of the island, after which autonomous Cretan civic coinage effectively ceased.
