Additional information

Bargasa was a minor Carian inland settlement whose civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius belongs to a thin and poorly documented series. The city's output during this period was small enough that individual dies can often be tracked across surviving specimens, and the ethnic ΒΑΡΓΑϹΗΝΩΝ itself is one of the more phonologically interesting survivals of pre-Greek Anatolian place-name roots adapted into Greek civic formula.
