| Additional information |
Pergamon's bronze coinage of this period reflects the city's awkward transition following the death of Attalos III in 133 BC, who famously bequeathed his kingdom to Rome. Municipal bronze issues continued to circulate locally long after the Attalid dynasty ended, filling the gap left by the sudden collapse of royal mint authority. The city's bronze production during this window was substantial enough that survivors are plentiful, though coins struck closer to the dynastic end tend to show cruder workmanship as civic administration absorbed functions previously handled by a professional royal mint.
