| Additional information |
Iasos was a coastal polis in Caria whose economy depended heavily on the fishing of the surrounding gulf — a dependency unusual enough that ancient sources specifically noted the city's reliance on the sea. The magistrate name Kleas appearing on this issue places it within a civic bronze series used for local small-denomination exchange, a coinage tightly tied to the city's periods of shifting allegiance between Ptolemaic and Seleucid influence during the late 3rd century.
