Commentary
L’électrum est d’abord un alliage natif d’or et d’argent avant de devenir un alliage d’amalgame. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. .
Electrum is initially a native alloy of gold and silver before becoming an amalgam alloy. This type appears to be much rarer than general works suggest.

The coinage is one of the oldest in Asia Minor and the city experienced significant commercial prosperity. The city received autonomy after the Battle of Magnesia. During the first war against Rome, the city supported Mithridates VI of Pontus, like its neighbor Ephesus. The city had an important coinage in the imperial period between Augustus and Gallien.
