Abstract
There has been considerable uncertainty in the attribution of Alexanders to Assos and Phokaia because both cities used a griffin as their civic badge. This article attempts to resolve these uncertainties by providing a die study of the Alexanders attributed to Assos and Phokaia and combining the results of this study with the available hoard evidence. This produces a new picture of the minting activity of Assos and Phokaia in the late 3rd and early 2nd century which raises questions about how the production of these high-value series fits into the broader context of the Attalid kingdom.
