| Additional information |
Antioch ad Meandrum, a city in Caria on the Maeander River, continued striking Alexander-type tetradrachms well into the second century BC — decades after Alexander himself was dead and his empire fragmented beyond recognition. By this point the coins carried no genuine Macedonian authority; they functioned as trusted trade currency whose value rested entirely on weight standard and iconographic familiarity across the eastern Mediterranean.
Price 2470 places this issue within a civic series, struck under local authority rather than any Seleucid or Macedonian dynastic mandate.
