Æ10

Amyzon was a small Carian sanctuary city whose civic coinage is poorly documented and survives in very limited numbers. The site, inland from Ephesus, was excavated by a French mission in the 1970s, which provided much of what is known about the city's institutional life. Bronze fractions of this weight class from minor Carian centers rarely traveled far — most examples recovered archaeologically come from within a tight radius of their issuing city.
