Didrachm - Filios

Leukas, the island-city connected to the Akarnanian mainland by a narrow causeway, continued striking silver after Rome's dissolution of the Achaean League in 146 BC effectively ended meaningful Greek federal coinage in the region. This late series, catalogued by Callataÿ, represents civic monetary activity persisting under Roman hegemony — not resistance, simply habit and local commercial necessity. The magistrate name Filios appears on issues tied to a narrowing chronological bracket that Callataÿ's die study places toward the final decades of the sequence.
