  Ancient Greek Coins of Miletus (Miletos, Ionia, Anatolia, Turkey)
The Milesian revivals of the Hecatomnids — During the first half of the fourth century BC, the philhellenic Persian satraps Hecatomnus, Mausolus, and Hidrieus of Caria issued a series of silver coins that revived the archaic lion-head/sun types of Miletus.
The bronze lion/sun series — The earliest bronze coins of Miletus, from the fourth century BC, revived one of the oldest stylistic themes in the city’s coinage: the sun-like reverse design.
This practice was extended well into the third century BC by many Greek cities, which simply added their own civic monograms to the familiar Alexandrian designs.

Agricultural free trade changed the Italian landscape, and by the 1st century BC, vast grape and olive estates had supplanted the yeoman farmers, who were unable to match the imported grain price: the annexation of Egypt, Sicily and Tunisia in North Africa provided a continuous supply of grains.
Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the actual spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar and vocabulary, and eventually in pronunciation.
It was at this time, in the 1st century BC, that Romans developed concrete, a powerful cement derived from pozzolana which soon supplanted marble as the chief Roman building material and allowed for numerous daring architectural schemata.

The second reason is that in 1919 AD Edward Newell published a facinating discovery that hidden the lion's mane of Herakles were tiny letters, not seen by the naked eye, with the name of Nikokles, the ruler of Paphos at the time.
It appears the Alexanders of Nikokle were not minted beyond 320 BC as nearly all the known examples were found in the famous Demanhur coin hoard (1905 AD) which was buried in Egypt around 318 BC.
