| Additional information |
Smyrna's magistrate-named bronzes of this period reflect the city's careful civic administration under the expanding shadow of Pergamene influence — Eumenes II had secured Roman favor after Magnesia in 190 BC, and Smyrna, a loyal ally, operated with considerable autonomy in its local coinage. The magistrate names Hermogenes and Trikkas appear together on this issue, a pairing that places the coin within a tightly bracketed administrative moment rather than a continuous series.
The SNG von Aulock specimen remains the standard reference point for die alignment on this type.
