J.-C.), elle est intégrée au domaine romain, devenant une cité alliée privilégiée grâce à sa fidélité envers Rome. Au Iᵉʳ siècle av. J.-C., elle soutient la République contre Mithridate VI du Pont, ce qui lui vaut d’importants privilèges et une autonomie municipale renforcée au sein de la province d’Asie. - - - Mysia, Unit, Lampsacus A. : Laureate head of Apollo facing right. R. : Lyre ; protome of Pegasus in the field on the left.
