Additional information

Idyma was a small Carian settlement near the Rhodian Peraea whose independent coinage output was extremely limited and compressed into a narrow window before regional absorption effectively ended local minting. The hemiobol denomination itself — already the smallest practical silver unit in wide use — pushed the dies cutters to their limits at this scale, and the town's output is sparse enough that attribution sometimes relies on a single confirmed specimen.
