| Additional information |
Itanos occupied the far northeastern tip of Crete — geographically isolated from the island's major poleis and consequently understudied in the numismatic literature. The city maintained commercial ties with the eastern Aegean and Cyprus rather than looking westward toward Knossos or Gortyn, and its coinage reflects that peripheral independence. Svoronos catalogued the series with limited die study, and the references remain sparse enough that new specimens still occasionally prompt scholarly reassessment of the sequence.
