| Additional information |
Lakedaimon — Roman-period Sparta — struck bronze coinage during these decades under the supervision of local magistrates, their names occasionally preserved on surviving dies. The city had long since lost any military relevance but retained enormous symbolic prestige within the Roman provincial order, and Roman administrators generally indulged Spartan civic pretensions as politically harmless.
The BCD reference places this among a well-documented sequence from the Peloponnesos collection sale of 2012, which remains the primary die-study resource for late Spartan bronzes.
