Gargara was a minor Aeolian city on the southern slope of Mount Ida in the Troad, founded as a Lesbian colony and never politically significant enough to produce coinage in quantity. Its fractional silver issues from this period are among the scarcest of all Troadean emissions — the city itself was later synoikized into Alexandreia Troas by Antigonus around 306 BC, effectively ending its independent civic identity. Most surviving examples come from hoard contexts rather than casual finds, which suggests limited original circulation range.
