| Additional information |
Dardanus was a small coastal polis on the Hellespont whose civic coinage under the Severan dynasty was produced in extremely limited quantities — the conventus of Adramyteum generated far fewer provincial issues than the major Asian centers, and surviving examples from Dardanian municipal strikes are genuinely scarce in any institutional collection. The city's name gave the ancient world "Dardanelles," a geographical fact that outlasted its coin production by two millennia.
