| Note | Mavrogordato assigned the coin to the first century BC, but Lagos placed it here because the lack of a moneyer’s name and the ethnic in the genitive plural are features of a later period, and because the coin shares a similar style with coins of IIIA. However, it does not fit so easily fit with IIIA. |
