A chronological arrangement of the coins of Chios

The coinage of Chios in ancient times deserves a more detailed study than has hitherto been given to it The issues of the island-mint extended almost without a break over the whole period during which autonomous Greek coins were struck. And, through the accident of its so-called alliance with Rome after the Mithradatic wars, Chios shared the privilege, accorded to Athens, and to so many towns in Asia Minor, of striking bronze in her own name when all the rest of the civilized world was acknowledging the imperial supremacy on its coinage.
