| Additional information |
Knidos occupied a strategically awkward position on the Carian coast — technically within the Persian satrapal sphere yet commercially dependent on Aegean trade networks — and its coinage reflects that tension. The Theumelon tetradrachms belong to a magistrate series in which individual officials lent their names to coin issues, a practice that helps modern scholars sequence the late Classical mint output from Knidos with unusual precision. Theumelon appears in only a handful of die pairings across the known corpus, placing total production almost certainly in the hundreds rather than thousands.
