| Additional information |
Kibyra was one of the more powerful cities in southwestern Phrygia, controlling a tetrapolis alongside Bubon, Balbura, and Oenanda until Rome forcibly broke up that alliance around 167 BC following the city's support of Perseus of Macedon. This drachm dates to the long autonomous civic coinage that followed — Kibyra retained enough commercial clout that its silver continued circulating across the broader Lycian and Pamphylian trade corridors well into the Mithridatic period.
SNG von Aulock 3717 remains the standard reference for this type. The series ends abruptly with Sulla's reorganization of Asia Minor after 84 BC.
