		With Roman help, Prusias was soon crushed, and in 154 BCE, and as part of the peace settlement, Prusias was obliged to pay a huge indemnity of 100 talents of silver to the Greek cities that he had made war on.
		Most historians now agree: the wreathed coinages of these Greek cities celebrated their joint victory over Prusias, continuing both the fine artistic style of the earlier Athenian and other stephanophoric coinages and at the same time disseminating a non-Macedonian motif of trade coinage that Rome favored.
		Most of the issuing cities were not wealthy, and Prusias’ indemnity represented an infusion of silver greater than many years of domestic revenues.
