AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mysie, Unité, Lampsaque
A. : Laureate head of Apollo facing right.
R. : Lyre ; protome of Pegasus in the field on the left.
In the 2nd century BC, Lampsacus gradually fell under the influence of the Kingdom of Pergamon, while maintaining a prosperity based on maritime trade and viticulture. Upon the death of Attalus III (133 BC), it was incorporated into the Roman domain, becoming a privileged allied city thanks to its loyalty to Rome. In the 1st century BC, it supported the Republic against Mithridates VI of Pontus, which earned it significant privileges and increased municipal autonomy within the province of Asia.
