Drachm - Badromios

Ephesos operated under Seleucid and later Pergamene authority during this period, and cistophoric coinage was beginning to displace older drachm types across western Asia Minor by the mid-second century. This piece, issued under the magistrate name Badromios, belongs to a transitional window before the cistophoric standard fully consolidated Pergamene monetary influence in the region. Magistrate-signed issues from Ephesos allow modern die studies to sequence production runs with unusual precision — Badromios appears in a small cluster of names assigned to the later phase of this series.
