Additional information

Kos operated with considerable autonomy under Roman oversight during this period, its civic coinage continuing largely uninterrupted even as neighboring island states lost minting privileges. Eukrates appears as a magistrate name on several Koan bronze issues of the late Hellenistic period, though the individual is otherwise unattested in the literary or epigraphic record — a reminder of how much civic administration vanishes entirely except through coins.
