Note: Coins from Miletos, an ancient Greek city located in Ionia (in present-day Turkey), are important artifacts that provide insights into the history and culture of the city during the Hellenistic period. AE coins, made of bronze or copper alloys, were commonly minted by Greek cities for everyday transactions and trade. During the timeframe of circa 250-150 BC, Miletos would have been an active center of commerce, culture, and intellectual pursuits within the region of Ionia. As one of the most prominent cities in Ionia, Miletos played a significant role in the development of trade networks, maritime activities, and philosophical thought.
