Argos occupied an awkward political position during this period — nominally allied with Thebes against Sparta following Leuctra in 371 BC, yet never fully committing its military weight to the campaigns that reshaped the Peloponnese. The city's mint output during these decades reflects that ambiguity: production was steady but not prolific, tied to local trade rather than any war economy.
BCD Peloponnesos 1059 places this type within a sequence that numismatists have long struggled to arrange chronologically, given Argos's inconsistent use of magistrate signatures.
