Herakleia Pontika continued striking coins in the name of the long-dead Lysimachus well into the second century BC — a practice common among cities that had thrived under his rule and found his image commercially useful long after his death at Corupedium in 281 BC. By the time these drachms were struck, Lysimachus had been gone for over a century, his name functioning less as a political statement than as a trusted brand in Pontic trade networks.
