Aspendus stood as one of the most prosperous and influential cities in ancient Pamphylia, a coastal region of southern Asia Minor situated between Lycia and Cilicia along the Mediterranean. Silver staters from Aspendus circulated extensively throughout the eastern Mediterranean and Near East, particularly during the 5th through 3rd centuries BCE when the city enjoyed its greatest economic prominence. Archaeological discoveries have revealed Aspendian coins in hoards across the Levant, Cyprus, Egypt, and the Aegean, demonstrating their acceptance in international commerce and their role in regional trade networks.
