| Additional information |
Neandria was an Aeolian city on the Troad whose population was forcibly relocated to Alexandria Troas around 310 BC under Antigonus I Monophthalmus, as part of his synoikismos policy of consolidating smaller settlements into his new foundation. This bronze issue almost certainly belongs to the final decades of the city's independent civic life — struck before that absorption extinguished it as a functioning polis entirely.
