| Additional information |
Myrina was one of the most prolific cistophoric-era mints in Aeolis, and its tetradrachm series from this period reflects the city's position within the Attalid economic sphere following Rome's reorganization of western Asia Minor after Apamea in 188 BC. The magistrate names preserved on these coins have been systematically catalogued by Sacks, whose die study remains the primary tool for sequencing the issue.
The specific dies linking the de Luynes, McClean, and Hunterian specimens have helped establish a tighter chronology than the broad 160–143 BC window suggests for individual emissions.
