Æ22 - Claudius ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟΥ ΑΝΤΙΓΟΝΟΥ

The Koinon of Thessaly — the federal league that survived Roman reorganization as a functioning administrative and religious body — struck bronze issues under named strategoi, the annually elected magistrates whose names appear on the coinage as a mark of local institutional pride rather than imperial command. Antigonos held the strategia during the reign of Claudius, one of dozens of such officials attested only through the coins themselves.

Claudius generally tolerated and even encouraged provincial league coinage across Greece, a policy that allowed communities like the Thessalian Koinon to maintain the outward forms of self-governance well into the imperial period.
