| Additional information |
Kleitor was a minor Arkadian polis in the mountainous interior of the Peloponnese, and its bronze coinage was almost certainly tied to the broader monetary activity surrounding the Arkadian League, formed in 370 BC following Epaminondas's defeat of Sparta at Leuktra. That federal experiment fractured by 362 BC, leaving individual poleis to issue independently. A civic bronze from Kleitor surviving in attributable condition is genuinely uncommon — the BCD Peloponnesos collection, the most exhaustive modern gathering of this regional material, recorded only a handful of examples.
