| Additional information |
The Opuntian Lokrians occupied the eastern mainland coast opposite Euboia, and their federal bronze coinage reflects the unusual political continuity of a minor Greek ethnos that survived Macedonian hegemony, the Lamian War, and successive overlords largely intact. The ethnic ΟΠΟΥΝΤΙΩΝ — "of the Opuntians" — persists across centuries of issue, the polis name outlasting every external power that claimed authority over it.
