Although R. Ashton has published numerous articles on the pseudo-Rhodian
coinage from Greece,
the islands, and western Asia minor, this particular issue has not been
the subject of any of these studies.
In any event, hoard evidence suggests this issue is related to the
various pseudo-Rhodian
issues associated with the Third Macedonian War.
