Æ

Parion, a Milesian colony on the southern shore of the Propontis, maintained an unusually long tradition of civic bronze coinage that outlasted many of its regional neighbors. The city's position made it a natural waypoint for traffic moving between the Aegean and the Black Sea, and its mint remained active through successive periods of Macedonian, Seleucid, and eventually Pergamene influence — each leaving traces in the evolving typology of its bronze issues without fully suppressing the city's independent civic identity.

The wide date range reflected in this attribution spans the transition from Alexander's successors to Attalid dominance.
