Additional information

The Achaean cities of the northern Peloponnese struck small bronze issues like this one during a period when the loose federal structure that would eventually become the Achaean League had not yet coalesced into formal political unity. These civic bronzes circulated locally, filling the gap left by the near-total dominance of silver in inter-regional trade. SNG Copenhagen 64 places this piece firmly within the attributable corpus, though the precise issuing city within the Achaian ethnos remains debated among specialists.
