Miletopolis, a minor city in Mysia near the Macestus River, struck small bronzes like this throughout the fourth century under shifting political pressures — first Achaemenid suzerainty, then the disruptions of Alexander's campaign through Asia Minor after 334 BC. Municipal bronze coinage of this scale served intensely local needs; it rarely traveled far and survives almost exclusively from the immediate region.
