| Additional information |
Stratonikeia was a Carian city granted to the Seleucid kingdom as a wedding gift when Antiochos II married the daughter of the local dynast — later refounded as a royal city and renamed in honor of his queen, Stratonike. By the time these hemidrachms were struck, the city had passed through Seleucid, Ptolemaic, and Rhodian control before asserting its own civic autonomy under Roman oversight following the Treaty of Apamea in 188 BC. The magistrate name Dionysodoros on this issue places it within a civic series that functioned primarily for local exchange in a region where Rhodian weight standards dominated regional trade.
