| Additional information |
Kolophon, one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, lost its position as a major mint after Alexander's campaigns reshaped the region's political economy. This small silver issue belongs to a series identified by magistrate name pairs — Diodoros and Mytados among them — a naming convention that helps modern scholars sequence the output of the mint across the turbulent decades following Alexander's death, when control of western Asia Minor shifted repeatedly between the Diadochi. The Kinns typology remains the essential reference for untangling this magistrate sequence.
