| Additional information |
Thronion was the principal city of the Epicnemidian Lokrians, a sub-group occupying the narrow coastal strip between Mount Knemis and the Malian Gulf. The city's autonomous bronze coinage is poorly documented in ancient literary sources, and the BCD collection — assembled by a single private collector over decades — remains the primary reference for organizing these issues. Relatively few specimens have surfaced through controlled excavation, so die linkage studies rely almost entirely on auction appearances and private holdings.
