| Additional information |
Heraia was a small Arkadian polis in the upper Euthoas valley, and its bronze coinage is among the earliest civic bronze issues from the Peloponnese. The city gained brief strategic prominence during the conflicts between Sparta and the emerging Arkadian League in the 360s BC — a political upheaval that likely drove smaller poleis like Heraia to assert independent monetary identity precisely when regional power structures were fracturing.
