| Additional information |
Leukas, the island-peninsula colony of Corinth at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, continued striking silver well after Rome's reorganization of northwestern Greece following the defeat of Perseus in 168 BC — a period when many Epirote and Akarnanians mints went dark. These later issues, cataloged by de Callataÿ as the post-167 series, reflect the town's retention of enough commercial autonomy to maintain a coinage tradition even under Roman oversight. The magistrate name Theodorus appears on a tight cluster of dies within this phase.
