Stater

Soloi was one of the major Greek colonial cities along the Cilician coast, traditionally said to have been founded by Lindians from Rhodes, though its early monetary output aligns more closely with Cypriot weight standards than Aegean ones. The city's name entered the Greek language as the root of "solecism" — ancient writers claimed its settlers spoke such corrupted Greek that their dialect became synonymous with linguistic barbarism.

The SNG France 124 reference places this stater within a well-documented but numerically small series. Cilician silver of this period circulated extensively through Achaemenid-administered trade networks, and many examples ultimately funded Persian military logistics in the eastern Mediterranean.
