| Additional information |
Laodikeia ad Lycum was founded by the Seleucid king Antiochus II around 261 BC and named for his wife — a city that would outlast its founders by centuries. By the period of this issue, the region had passed into Roman hands following the bequest of the Attalid kingdom in 133 BC, yet civic coinage continued uninterrupted, with local magistrates like Hippochaites son of Deinomachos lending their names to issues in a practice that kept civic identity intact under provincial administration.
The magistrate formula naming both official and father is characteristic of Laodikeian civic tetradrachms of this phase.
