Tetartemorion - Archepolis

Archepolis, the son of Themistocles, appears to have leveraged his father's exile connections in Ionia to secure local influence — and possibly local magistracy — at Magnesia ad Maeandrum, the city where Themistocles himself had been granted rule by the Persian king Artaxerxes I. This tetartemorion, the smallest practical denomination in Greek silver coinage, represents civic output under that extraordinary political circumstance: a Greek polis functioning under Persian suzerainty, administered by the family of Athens' most celebrated and most disgraced admiral.
