Hemidrachm - Amphyktion

Myndos, a coastal city in Caria, passed through Ptolemaic and then Rhodian spheres of influence before coming under Roman provincial reorganization in 129 BC when the province of Asia was formally established. Coinage bearing the Amphyktionic association name reflects the city's participation in a local religious league, likely tied to regional cult sanctuaries — a municipal assertion of civic identity at a moment when Carian cities were navigating the administrative pressures of Roman oversight.

The SNG Keckman variant designation suggests minor die differences from the primary reference specimens, which were drawn from a Finnish private collection assembled largely in the mid-twentieth century.
