Tetradrachm - Menandros

Antioch ad Meandrum was a small Carian city whose civic coinage is poorly documented and rarely surfaces in major collections. The dating range of roughly 90–60 BC places this issue squarely within the period of Roman reorganization of western Asia Minor following the Sullan settlement — a time when many formerly autonomous cities were negotiating the terms of their continued right to strike silver. The magistrate name Menandros appears on a handful of known examples, making die linkage studies across surviving specimens genuinely useful for establishing sequence within the series.
