| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollonia's drachms are among the most widely studied coinage of the Illyrian Greek colonies, partly because they circulated far beyond their region of issue — hoards containing them have been found deep into the Balkans and along Danube frontier sites. The city itself was considered by Cicero the most beautiful city in the region, and it served as a key Roman staging point during the late Republican period. Julius Caesar garrisoned troops there during the civil war against Pompey in 48 BC.
Maier 135 falls within the later emission sequence, struck when Apollonia's autonomous coinage was winding down under increasing Roman administrative pressure.
