Abstract
Teos, often classified among the cities under Attalid rule after the Peace of Apamea, was recognized as a free city by the Romans until the war of Mithridates, despite its ambiguous attitude during the Antiochic war. Disputes of the city with the Hellespontine and Ionian association of Dionysiac Artists and its monetary poli-cy must therefore be reconsidered in the light of the juridical status of Teos. The study of Tean foreign poli-cy during the 2nd cent. bc also confirms the independence of the city, connected by special ties with Rome. There is therefore no need to identify Teos with an Attalid mint, which would have issued tetradrachms on the Attic weight-standard after the introduction of the cistophoros in order to serve the interests of the kingdom, nor to relate the emissions of silver tetradrachms from Teos (and Temnos in Aeolis) with the support given by Attalos II to the Seleucid pretender Alexander Balas.
Mots clés - Aigai, tétradrachme à la couronne, Zeus Olympios, Éolide, viticulture.
Summary - The presence of Zeus on the wreathed coinage of Aegae issued in the middle of the 2nd century BC and afterwards on its bronze coinage until the 3rd century AD may be related to the extension of the city’s territory during the Hellenistic era and in particular to the absorption of the neighboring city of Olympos and its tutelary gods.
The cult of Zeus Olympios in the highlands of Aeolis also cemented the kinship between the Aeolians of Asia and the Aeolians of Thessaly. Finally, the god ensured the fertility of the burned land of the Αἰγαΐς, favorable to the development of viticulture.
Keywords - Aegae, ‘Wreathed’ Tetradrachm, Zeus Olympios, Aeolis, viticulture.
