| Additional information |
Abydos, the strategic Hellespontine city controlling the narrowest crossing between Europe and Asia, operated under Seleucid and later Pergamene influence before passing to Rome following the death of Attalos III in 133 BC. These late civic tetradrachms, struck in the so-called "stephanophoric" tradition common to western Anatolian mints, belong to a phase when the city retained nominal monetary autonomy even as Roman administrative authority tightened across the region. The Milesios magistrate name places this issue within a sequence identifiable by the controlling official rather than by regnal year.
