| Additional information |
Kios, the Bithynian port at the mouth of the Ascanian Gulf, enjoyed a stretch of genuine commercial autonomy in the early third century before Philip V of Macedon razed the city in 202 BC and handed its population to his ally Prusias I, who refounded the site as Prusias ad Mare. These small bronzes were civic issues produced while the city still governed its own affairs — the autonomous coinage effectively ends with that destruction.
