The
location of the mint appears to be uncertain: - Sylloge Nummorum Grecorum Tueky 9 Volume 1 Troas places it in the Troas. https://www.amazon.de/Sylloge-Nummorum-Graecorum-Turkey-Collection/dp/6054701584 - Wikipedia cites two cities with this name: Aioleion in Chalcidice and Aeolium of the Thracian Chersonesus. "Aeolium or Aioleion (Ancient Greek: Αἰόλειον) was a town of Chalcidice in ancient Macedonia. It belonged to the Delian League since it appears in the tribute registry of Athens for the years 434/3, 433/2 and 429/8 BCE, where it paid a phoros of 500 drachmas.[1] It also appears in a treaty of alliance between the Athenians and Bottiaeans dated to 422 BCE, from which it is deduced that it belonged to the territory of Bottiaea. Its site is near modern Bottike. However, in a fragment of Theopompus collected by Stephanus of Byzantium, Aeolium is cited as a city of the Thracian Chersonesus." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolium - The Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire (DARE) and the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World (2000) it at the southmost end of the Thracian Chersonesus. https://dh.gu.se/dare/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrington_Atlas_of_the_Greek_and_Roman_World - Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft (Wikisource) identifies: an Aioleion on the Macedonian Bottike, the island group Αἰολίδες on the northwest coast of Asia Minor the mountain range Αἰόλιον on the Thracian Chersonesus. https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/RE:Aioleion - CNG 449E/121 allocates the mint to Troas "This issue is often erroneously attributed to Mytilene on Lesbos, based on older research that had been the basis of such an attribution in SNG Copenhagen and von Aulock. However, since L. Robert’s Etudes de numismatique grecque in 1951, periodic studies have convincingly reattributed this series to a city of Aioleion in Troas, which is corroborated by the appearance of three bronzes in the Arikantürk collection acquired in the region of ancient Adramyteion." https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=386252 |
