Additional information

Antioch ad Meandrum was a small Carian city with outsized numismatic ambition — its civic tetradrachm series, issued during the late Hellenistic period as Seleucid authority collapsed across Asia Minor, reflects a community asserting independent monetary identity under increasing Roman provincial pressure. The magistrate name Hermogenes appears on several issues from this mint, a naming convention that helps sequence the series but rarely survives in quantity.

Examples are genuinely scarce. The city's limited civic output means die links across surviving specimens are tight and well-documented in the HN Online corpus.
