| Additional information |
Side was one of the most commercially active ports in Pamphylia, and its tetradrachms circulated widely across the eastern Mediterranean trade networks during the second and first centuries BC. The city maintained a degree of monetary independence even as Seleucid and later Attalid influence ebbed and flowed through the region — a practical necessity for a port whose merchants needed universally accepted coinage.
The Seyrig reference places this piece within a well-documented die study of Sidetan silver, with the France 702–705 sequence corresponding to issues attributable to the later part of the series, when civic mint output was beginning to respond to Roman commercial pressure in the Aegean.
