Additional information

Balbura was a minor Lycian city whose civic coinage is rarely encountered outside specialist collections. The city was forcibly incorporated into the Lycian League by Rome in 167 BC following the Third Macedonian War — a punitive reorganization of Anatolia that stripped several communities of autonomy. Whether this issue predates or postdates that absorption remains debated, which explains the broad two-century attribution window assigned by both Copenhagen and von Aulock.
