| Additional information |
Tanagra's bronze coinage of this period was issued under the Boeotian League's federal framework, which gave member poleis limited but real authority to strike local bronze while reserving silver for federal issues. By 100 BC, Tanagra itself was a diminished power — the city had never fully recovered its political standing after siding with Sparta in the Peloponnesian War and subsequently facing punitive treatment from Thebes in the fourth century.
The magistrate's name abbreviated in the ethnic formula on these bronzes occasionally allows attribution to known Boeotian officials documented in epigraphic records from the sanctuary at Ptoon.
