Additional information

Birytis was a minor Aeolian city in the Troad region of northwestern Asia Minor, and its autonomous coinage is limited enough that the city's precise civic status — whether truly independent polis or a dependency of a larger neighbor — remains debated among scholars of the region. The "no beard" variety designation distinguishes this type from a parallel issue and reflects die-level classification work done primarily through the SNG corpus rather than any ancient source.
