Æ17

Euromus was a minor Carian city whose political fortunes shifted repeatedly under Hellenistic successor kingdoms before passing into Roman provincial administration. Bronze civic issues of this type were produced autonomously under Roman oversight — a common arrangement in western Asia Minor where Rome permitted local coinage to continue handling small-denomination exchange without Roman intervention.

The city is better known to archaeologists than numismatists; its partially standing Temple of Zeus Lepsynos, paid for in part by Hadrian and Antoninus Pius, drew more lasting attention than its coin output.
