| Additional information |
Klazomenai, one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, had a complicated relationship with autonomy — periodically subject to Persian control, then Athenian, then absorbed into the Seleucid sphere before Rome reorganized the region as the province of Asia in 133 BC. Bronze civic coinage of this type continued to circulate locally well into the late Republican period, serving largely internal market functions while silver cistophori dominated regional trade.
The SNG Copenhagen and Munich concordances place this type within a well-documented but chronologically broad sequence that numismatists have struggled to subdivide with precision.
