| Additional information |
Apameia on the Orontes was one of the great Seleucid foundations, planted by Seleucus I and named for his Bactrian wife. By the late second century BC, as Seleucid authority fragmented under dynastic civil war and Roman pressure, Syrian civic mints like Apameia began striking autonomous bronze on their own account — this issue belongs to that period of municipal self-assertion. The magistrate name Antipatros appears across multiple die pairings, suggesting a tenure of some duration or administrative reappointment.
The variant designation against HGC 7, 674 likely reflects a die combination not catalogued by Hoover.
