Tetradrachm - Hermogenes

Antioch ad Meandrum was a small Carian city whose civic coinage is poorly documented and rarely surfaces in major collections. The magistrate name Hermogenes appears on several cistophoric-tradition issues from the region, though whether this reflects a single magistracy or a recurring family name held across multiple terms remains unresolved in the literature. HN Online 2070 places this issue within a tight bracket tied to the declining years of Seleucid influence in western Anatolia, when smaller civic mints briefly asserted independent coinage rights before Roman administrative pressure gradually rationalized regional production.
