Ephesos, Ionia, c. 375 B.C.
|Ephesos|, |Ephesos,| |Ionia,| |c.| |375| |B.C.|, NEWOn the significance of this unusual issue, Dr. Philip Kinns, one of the authors of "The Pixodarus Hoard (CH 9. 421)" in Coin Hoards IX (2002), had this to say in the paper: "A small bronze series that must be contemporary with the class C tetradrachms can be identified. The types are head of city goddess or Cybele left, with astragal behind, and on the reverse a bee with magistrate's name above and surrounded by a border of dots. This is the only Ephesian bronze series without the ethnic, and the earliest to have magistrates' names, those recorded being EΠIΓONOΣ, HΓEΛOXOΣ and OIΩNOΣ. The same three men share obverses 19 and 21 in the tetradrachms, with Epigonos and Oionos also linked by obverses 22 and 23. This bronze series was dated c. 280 - 258 by Head, but we can now affirm c. 375 as the likely time of issue, given that the Yaka hoard, buried c. 365, also included tetradrachms from the following class D."
