Historical background


SYRIA - SELEUCIA AND PIERIA - LAODICEA

(82/81-49/48 BC)

Laodicea, founded by Seleucus I in memory of his mother, was the outer port of Antioch. Laodicea was declared a free city in 109/108 BC. In 82, it rose up against the Armenian domination of Tigranes. The new autonomous coinage of the city did not begin before 82/81 BC This type was minted until 49/48 and the arrival of Caesar in Syria. The coinage was then numbered from the following year and lasted until 17/16 BC, under Augustus, thus adopting the new Caesarean era..
