| Additional information |
Stratonikeia, founded as a Macedonian military colony in Caria and later granted significant autonomy by Rome following the settlement of 167 BC, issued civic silver intermittently through the Hellenistic period. This drachm names the magistrate Pamphilos in the issue — a practice that tied civic coinage directly to the annual officials responsible for its production, making the magistrate personally accountable for weight and fineness. The decade spanning 90–80 BC placed Stratonikeia squarely in the violence of the First Mithridatic War, during which the city endured siege.
