| Additional information |
Ephesos in this period was caught between competing powers — the city had recently shaken off Persian-backed tyranny and was navigating the volatile politics of the Aegean as Macedonian influence expanded westward under Philip II and then Alexander. Local silver issues from this window reflect a mint operating under pressure to assert civic identity while the ground shifted politically beneath it.
The "var." notation against the BMC reference is worth attention: minor die variants in this series are not uncommon, and the divergence from the standard type likely lies in magistrate name placement or a small symbol addition rather than a fundamental design change.
