Additional information

Lebedos was among the least consequential of the twelve Ionian cities — so marginal, in fact, that Lysimachos forcibly synoikized its population into the newly founded Ephesos around 294 BC, effectively erasing the city. Coinage bearing the magistrate name Deiklos almost certainly predates that dissolution, placing these hemidrachms among the final municipal issues of a polis that ceased to exist by administrative fiat rather than conquest or catastrophe.
