| Additional information |
Side, a major port city on the Pamphylian coast, maintained a strikingly independent civic coinage long after much of Asia Minor had fallen under Seleucid and later Attalid influence. These tetradrachms follow the Attic weight standard, which Side adopted to facilitate trade across the eastern Mediterranean rather than out of political subordination to any particular power. The city's mint was notably prolific, and the type persisted across a full century of production — a span that generated considerable die variety, well documented across the SNG corpora cited here.
