Æ18

Balbura was a minor Lycian city whose civic coinage was produced intermittently across the Hellenistic period, largely reflecting the town's shifting allegiances — first under Rhodian domination after 188 BC, then absorbed into the Lycian League. The SNG von Aulock reference places this squarely within that league coinage tradition, though Balbura's own contributions to the series are modest in volume and the city itself was eventually depopulated by Murena during the Mithridatic wars around 81 BC.
