| Additional information |
Ainos, a Thracian coastal city at the mouth of the Hebros River, struck its coinage during a period when the city was caught between Athenian commercial interests and the growing pressure of Spartan naval power following the Sicilian disaster. The diobol denomination served interregional trade along a coastline dense with competing Greek emporia. May's corpus remains the definitive reference for Ainetan bronzes and silver, and the tight date range assigned to this issue reflects die-study evidence rather than documentary record.
