| Additional information |
Phoenice was a minor settlement in Epirus, not to be confused with the Phoenicia of the Levant — a mix-up that has muddied catalog entries for over a century. The city gained brief historical prominence as the site of the 205 BC treaty ending the First Macedonian War between Rome and Philip V, but by Trajan's reign it was a small provincial backwater issuing bronze coinage largely for local exchange. The ethnic legend ΦΟΙΝΕΙΚΑΙωΝ identifies the issuing civic authority in the genitive plural, a formulaic convention of Greek provincial bronze throughout the region.
