Chalkon

Halos was a Thessalian city with an unusually turbulent fourth century — sacked by the Phocians during the Third Sacred War and later cited by Aeschines in the Peace of Philocrates negotiations as a city whose fate Athens was effectively abandoning. Whether the city had recovered sufficiently to strike coinage before or after that episode remains debated, but the HGC dating places this issue squarely in the aftermath of Macedonian reorganization of Thessaly under Cassander and his successors.

The BCD Thessaly II collection remains the benchmark for attributing these bronzes, with Rogers 242 the older anchor reference.
