| Additional information |
Dardanus was a small coastal polis on the Hellespont whose chief claim to ancient fame was serving as the site of the 85 BC peace negotiations between Sulla and Mithridates VI — an agreement that ended the First Mithridatic War without Rome's senate having any say in its terms. The city's inclusion in the Conventus of Adramyteum placed it under the administrative reach of that assize district during the Imperial period, when local bronze issues like this one circulated to meet small-denomination needs that Roman colonial coinage rarely addressed at the municipal level.
