- Title
The Reattribution of a Ptolemaic Bronze Issue from Phoenicia to a Carian or Lycian Mint.

- Abstract
The coin from the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphos that is the subject of this paper belongs with a group of bronze coins, whose mint attribution has been deemed uncertain in the numismatic literature. Attributed to Sidon in Phoenicia in earlier studies, recently its mint has still been suggested as uncertain, but confirmed as Syria or Phoenicia. Based on the evidence of new specimens found in excavations and museum collections in Turkey, this paper proposes that this bronze issue should be attributed to a mint in southern Asia Minor, and more specifically, to a Carian or Lycian mint.
