Æ - Hermippos, son of Artemon

Lebedos was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, located on a small peninsula south of Colophon. By the second century BC it had been thoroughly overshadowed — Antigonus I had forcibly synoikized much of its population into Antigoneia, and later Lysimachus relocated residents again to Ephesus. That the city retained enough civic infrastructure to issue bronze coinage with named magistrates like Hermippos, son of Artemon, indicates a partial recovery of local autonomy under Seleucid and later Pergamene influence.
