Historical background

LYDIA - TRIPOLIS

(1st century BC - 2nd century AD)

Autonomous Coinage

Tripolis, perhaps to be identified with Apollonia of Lydia, not far from Thyatira, is placed between the valleys of the Lycus and the Meander. It seems to have had, according to B.

Civic coinage seems to have been very important in the first two centuries of our era..
