Dichalkon Seleukeia ad Kalykadnon

Seleukeia ad Kalykadnon, situated on the Kalykadnos River in Rough Cilicia, operated as a largely autonomous civic mint throughout the Hellenistic period despite nominal Seleucid and later Roman suzerainty. The city's bronze coinage served intensely local commercial needs — the rugged terrain of the Tracheia kept it economically semi-isolated in ways that coastal Cilician cities were not. SNG France 917 places this piece within a well-documented civic series, though the two-century attribution window reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty about sequential issue dating within the type.
