Additional information

Antioch ad Meandrum was a small city in Caria whose autonomous silver coinage was issued for only a limited window during the late Republican period, likely tied to the city's need to conduct local commerce during the prolonged instability following Rome's reorganization of Asia Minor after the defeat of Mithridates VI. The magistrate name Diotrephes appears on a narrow range of issues within this series — his tenure, like those of his colleagues, is unattested outside the coins themselves.
