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. Head, a heterogeneous population, composed of Lydians, Phrygians and Carians. The imperial coinage begins under Augustus to end with Gallienus. Civic coinage seems to have been very important in the first two centuries of our era..
