| Additional information |
Miletos in the mid-fourth century was navigating the uncomfortable transition between Persian suzerainty and the encroaching power of Macedon — Alexander's campaign would reach Ionia by 334 BC, and the city fell after a siege that year. The magistrate name Timostratos appearing on this issue places it within a municipal coinage system where named officials served as guarantors of silver quality at a moment when the city's political allegiances were genuinely uncertain.
Deppert-Lippitz 222 is among the documented varieties from this magistrate series, catalogued in her 1984 work on Milesian coinage.
