| Additional information |
Thebes had been stripped of its autonomy and reduced to little more than a village after its destruction by Alexander the Great in 335 BC, and its slow administrative recovery meant civic coinage under the early empire was sparse. This piece names the local magistrate Gnaeus Polemaeus Macros, one of the few individuals we can identify as holding civic authority in Boeotian Thebes during the Julio-Claudian and early Flavian transition. Galba's reign lasted barely seven months before his murder in January 69 AD, compressing this issue into an unusually narrow window.
