Aigeira, a member city of the Achaean League situated on the southern coast of the Corinthian Gulf, continued issuing civic bronze well after the League's destruction by Rome in 146 BC — a fact that still puzzles scholars, since Rome generally suppressed autonomous coinage in newly subordinated Greek cities. These small bronzes represent one of the few attested cases of resumed or continued local issue in the region during the late Republican period.
SNG Copenhagen 130 remains the primary reference anchor for attributing this type, with very few specimens documented outside Scandinavian and major European collections.
