Ashton argues for a mainland origin of two Rhodian-type drachm series and considers their relationship with early Lycian League coinage. Countermarks, dies, types, and controls support the discussion. The article provides a focused way to distinguish Rhodian designs from a Rhodian mint attribution and to follow the evidence for regional imitation.
