Æ - Mento...

Priene's civic bronze issues of this period reflect the city's complicated position between Seleucid and Pergamene power — the city formally came under Attalid control around 196 BC after Antiochus III's withdrawal from western Anatolia following Magnesia. The magistrate name Mento (or Mentor) appearing on this issue helps narrow its placement within the series, as Regling's die study used such names as primary sequencing evidence rather than stylistic criteria alone.
