Tetradrachm - Hybristos

Miletos struck this series during a period of uneasy accommodation with Seleucid power, and the "Hybristos" magistrate designation — meaning roughly "the insolent one" — is one of the more arresting personal epithets to survive in Greek numismatic administration. Whether it was a nickname, a formal title, or a term of political irony is unresolved. Deppert-Lippitz catalogued these magistrate-signed Milesian tetradrachms as a coherent group, and the specific die pairing under #758 places this piece within a tightly defined run of the civic series.
