| Additional information |
Amastris — founded by the Achaemenid-connected Amastrine, niece of Darius III and briefly wife of Lysimachus — had by this date passed through Pontic royal control and then direct Roman provincial administration following Lucullus's reorganization of the region in 70 BC. The ΒΛ in the coin's designation indicates a local era year, anchoring this issue to a precise civic dating system that Amastris maintained with unusual consistency through the late Republican period.
