Didrachm - Prokleides

Teos was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the poet Anacreon and, more commercially, as a major producer of pitch used in shipbuilding throughout the Aegean. Magistrate-signed coinage from Teos in the early Hellenistic period — of which this Prokleides piece is an example — reflects the city's reassertion of civic identity following decades of disruption under Persian rule and the upheavals of Alexander's campaigns. The magistrate name functions as an accountability marker, not a honorific.

The Zhuyuetang reference places this among a carefully documented group of dies from the period.
