| Additional information |
Antioch ad Meandrum was a small Carian city whose independent coinage output was limited and chronologically compressed, making any piece from its civic silver series relatively scarce by volume alone. The city sat in the Maeander river valley under shifting pressures from Pergamene, then Roman, authority — its coinage window closing roughly as Rome tightened administrative control over the province of Asia following the Mithridatic Wars.
Meleager served as a local magistrate whose name appears on this issue as the responsible authority, a naming convention standard to late Hellenistic civic coinage in western Asia Minor.
