Additional information

The Boeotian League's bronze coinage of this period was issued during a stretch of federal revival following the catastrophic losses of the Chremonidean War era and the League's uneasy navigation between Macedonian pressure and Achaean ambitions. By the late third century, the League had reasserted enough political coherence to mint on a federal rather than city-by-city basis — a monetary expression of renewed koinon authority that had been intermittent at best for decades.

BCD Boiotia 100 places this piece within a well-defined federal series, cross-referenced consistently across HGC and the Copenhagen corpus.
