Chalkis enjoyed a complicated political existence throughout the Hellenistic period, caught repeatedly between Macedonian garrison control and attempts at autonomy, and by the time this magistrate issue was struck, the city had been nominally free for decades following Rome's settlement of Greek affairs after Pydna in 168 BC. The naming of both magistrate and father on bronze civic coinage — Theokles, son of Pausanias — reflects a convention of accountability common in Euboian issues of the late second and early first centuries.
Picard's die study remains the essential reference for sequencing Chalkian bronzes of this period.
