| Additional information |
Heraclea at Latmus occupied an awkward geographic and political position throughout the Hellenistic period — originally a coastal city, it was gradually landlocked as the Büyük Menderes river silted up the Gulf of Latmus, a process already well advanced by the second century BC. The city passed between Seleucid and Pergamene control repeatedly, and this tetradrachm falls within the period of Attalid dominance following the Peace of Apamea in 188 BC, which stripped the Seleucids of most of Asia Minor.
The SNG von Aulock specimens remain the principal comparative references for die study of this brief civic series.
