| Aanvullende informatie |
Mopsos was a Cilician city whose very name preserves one of the oldest layers of Greek mythological geography — the seer Mopsus, son of Apollo, was said to have founded settlements across southern Anatolia after the Trojan War. Civic bronze of this type circulated through a region caught between Seleucid decline and the slow absorption of Cilicia into Roman provincial administration, a process not completed until Augustus reorganized the east.
The SNG France specimens catalogued at 1941–1942 remain among the primary reference points for attributing this type, given how rarely Mopsuestia bronzes appear in documented collections with clear provenance.
