Didrachm - Philandrus

Leukas was one of the few Akarnanian cities to continue issuing silver coinage after the Roman reorganization of Greece following the defeat of Perseus in 168 BC — a period when most regional minting effectively ceased under Roman pressure. The magistrate name Philandrus places this piece within that late phase of civic coinage, struck by a community navigating the ambiguities of nominal autonomy under Roman oversight.

The Callataÿ "Late" classification is the key reference here, distinguishing these issues from the earlier Corinthian-standard pegasi that dominate the Leukadian series.
