| Additional information |
The Thessalian League coinage of this period was produced under Roman supervision following Rome's reorganization of Greece after the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC. The League was permitted to continue issuing silver — a deliberate concession, not an oversight — as Rome found it administratively convenient to leave regional monetary infrastructure intact rather than flood the territory with denarii.
The magistrate name partially preserved in this listing almost certainly refers to one of the rotating annual officials whose names appear across the BCD Thessaly sequence, making die linkage studies the most reliable tool for precise dating within the 150–100 BC bracket.
