| Additional information |
Leukas struck coinage with unusual independence for a city under Roman oversight in the post-Pydna decades, when most Akarnanians found their political autonomy sharply curtailed. The magistrate name Theocles appears on a narrow group of late issues, placing this piece among the final expressions of civic coinage from a mint whose output would effectively cease as Roman commercial integration made local silver redundant.
