This chapter is concerned with the quantification, through die-studies, of the coinages struck by the Attalids and their neighbours, both cities and kings. The global picture is one of small-scale monetary production by the Attalids before the introduction of the cistophoric coinage, approximately one fifth that of the Seleukids and one fifteenth that of the Ptolemies. The second-century cistophoroi were struck on a much more abundant yearly basis (about six times greater); for example, more cistophoroi were struck each year than Athenian stephanophoroi. But cistophoroi were themselves issued in lower quantities than the so-called ‘wreathed coinages’, struck by a group of cities around the middle of the second century bc, most likely under the rule of the Attalids. These calculations help determine the role and purpose (trade or war) attributed to each of the coinages discussed.
