Didrachm - Leokrates

Leokrates is known from the magistrate's name appearing on Naxian coinage of the mid-third century BC, a period when the Cycladic islands operated under the loose suzerainty of Ptolemaic Egypt following the Battle of Cos. The Cratérophores reference situates this piece within a specialized French corpus focused on wine-vessel bearing coinage — fitting for Naxos, whose civic identity was bound tightly to the cult of Dionysos and whose island economy depended heavily on viticulture and Aegean trade.
