Good VF, toned, light porosity. Very rare. This issue was attributed to the island of Syros based on the reverse legend. Recent scholarship, however, has convincingly shown that this is erroneous, as the reverse legend does not contain an ethnic, but names the type: the Divine Syrian Kaberioi. As the issue has long been linked to a rare portrait emission of Eumenes I with the same reverse type, it is clear that it must belong to a mint in the sphere of the kings of Pergamon. Although it is tempting to attribute it to the royal mint at Pergamon, this Attic-standard issue could have been struck at one of several mints under Attalid control. See A. Meadows, “The Closed Currency System of the Attalid Kingdom” in P. Thonemann, Attalid Asia Minor (Oxford, 2013), pp. 184–91 for the most current analysis.

The first coins with magistrate’s names from Teos came after the lifting of Athenian hegemony over Ionia, upon their final defeat in the Peloponnesian War. It appears that in the first phase, the names were simply engraved over the standard quadripartite incuse type with not much concern over the placement of letters. Later on, the names were added to the wider crossbars of the divided square. Kaisareia (AD 198-217) AE 27 - Caracalla391 viewsCaracalla, 198-217 AD. AE 27 (15.17g, 12h).

Kallikles, magistrate. Wreathed head of young Dionysos right / Winged thunderbolt; KΛΛΛIKΛHC below. Good VF, old cabinet toning. Extremely rare for magistrate, the second known without additional symbol on reverse. The analysis of the 1996 Myndos hoard by B. Zabel and A.R. Meadows (CH IX, pp. 244–52) revealed three groups of issues, the first two of which included magistrate names and an additional symbol on the reverse, while the last group only had magistrate names. Kallikles is known to have struck hemidrachms in two issues, one with a cornucopia symbol, and one with no additional symbol. Of the former, there are approximately 13 coins known, all from a hoard in 1985 (CH VIII, 481). His second issue, without symbol, is apparently known only from a single specimen in a hoard found in 1987 (CH VIII, 495), which was struck from the same reverse die as the present coin.
