There are, however, several issues with the name ΒΙΩΝ throughout the remainder of the 3rd century and early part of the 2nd century BC.

The imperial portrait coinage from Miletus with title CEBACTOC cannot be precisely assigned to ruler. Some portraits resemble Nero, others Titus, Domitian and Trajan. The portrait on this coin looks much like Tiberius, but the lunate form of “Σ” (i.e., “C”) found on this coin was not in use at Miletus until the reign of Nero.

Pedasa (BC 4th cent) AE 1279 viewsca 4th cent BC. AE12 (1.56g, 12h). Head of Athena right wearing crested Attic helmet decorated with palmette / ΠΗΔΑ−ΣΕΩ[Ν], owl standing right, head facing. VF, dark green patina. Extremely rare, apparently the second known coin of this city.
The city of Pedasa near Miletos was not known to have issued coins until von Aulock published a single small bronze coin in 1975. This piece, of the same legend and designs, appears now to be the second known coin of this city. Von Aulock proposed a date during the autonomous interval between 196 BC, when Pedasa was declared a free city, and 175 BC, when Pedasa joined in union with Miletos. However, the fabric, style, and letter forms all point to a more likely date in the early 4th century BC.

Ionia Uncertain (BC 650-600) EL Stater - Figural205 viewsca 650-600 BC. EL Stater (14.22g). Milesian standard. Figural type. Sphinx seated left on ground line; cross with terminal pellets to left / Irregular incuse. Unpublished. Good VF. Unique. This previously unknown type almost certainly has an Ionian origin, but the specific mint remains unknown. The sphinx appears as a civic emblem on archaic coins of both Chios and Samothrace, but Samothrace did not issue electrum, and the electrum staters of Chios, although struck on the same weight standard as the present coin, are of a distinctly different style (cf. Baldwin, Chios, pl. I, 1-12). The cross with terminal pellets -- perhaps a solar symbol is exceptional by its appearance here as a subsidiary symbol. Such subsidiary symbols are rare on early electrum (but cf. Triton VIII, lots 399-405, for the use of a pentagram or a triad of pellets as symbols on the early electrum of Ephesos). The cross with terminal pellets does appear on other uncertain early electrum (cf. Traite I 7, pl. I, 6) and is employed regularly as a reverse type on the electrum of Miletos (with a central pellet in addition to the terminal pellets; cf. SNG Kayhan 440-449).
