| Additional information |
Kolophon was one of the cities forcibly synoikized into Alexander's new foundation of Antigoneia-on-the-Maeander around 306 BC — its population relocated, its civic identity temporarily dissolved. That this bronze issue spans the decades immediately surrounding that disruption means surviving specimens may predate the forced resettlement or reflect the city's reconstitution after Lysimachus reversed Antigonus's policy and permitted Kolophonians to return.
The magistrate name Deiklos appears on no earlier Kolophonian silver, placing him firmly in the transition to bronze civic coinage that followed the city's reduced circumstances in the post-Alexander fragmentation.
