Additional information

Miletos had long lost its classical prominence by the second century BC, operating under the administrative reach of the Pergamene kingdom and, after 133 BC, folding into the new Roman province of Asia following Attalos III's bequest of his kingdom to Rome. Gold issues from this transitional period are rare; most civic coinage from Miletos ran in silver, and the decision to strike in gold at this moment likely reflects specific financial pressures — possibly municipal obligations tied to the Roman reorganization of the province under the lex Sempronia of 123 BC.
