Æ20 - Caligula ΜΙΛΗΣΙΩΝ

Miletus retained the right to strike civic bronze under Caligula, as it had under his predecessors, though the city's relationship with Rome by this period was essentially that of a compliant provincial center long stripped of meaningful autonomy. The Ionian cities competed quietly for imperial favor, and local bronze issues like this one functioned as much as civic self-advertisement as they did small change.

I#2707 places this within a well-documented Milesian series, but individual die studies have shown considerable variation across the reign's output from this mint.
