| Aanvullende informatie |
The Epirote Republic was a federal state formed around 232 BC after the abolition of the Molossian monarchy, uniting the three major tribal groupings of Epirus under a shared coinage. Dodona, the sanctuary of Zeus Naios, functioned as the religious and administrative heart of this federation — making it the natural choice as mint site. The republic's coinage program ended abruptly in 167 BC when Aemilius Paullus, following his victory at Pydna, systematically sacked seventy Epirote towns and sold approximately 150,000 inhabitants into slavery as punishment for perceived Macedonian sympathies.
