| Additional information |
Amyzon was a minor Carian hill town whose civic coinage under the Antonines was produced sporadically and in small quantities, which explains the garbled magistrate inscription on this type — the engraver was almost certainly working from an imperfect written instruction rather than dictation, a not uncommon problem in provincial workshops far from the administrative center at Miletus. The sic notation in the reference confirms the reading is corrupt in the original, not a modern transcription error.
