| Additional information |
Thasos sits at an interesting juncture in the mid-second century BC: the island had only recently been liberated by Rome following Macedonian occupation under Philip V, and this small fractional silver belongs to the resumption of autonomous Thasian coinage that followed. The city's mint had been effectively suppressed during Macedonian control, making the post-196 issues a direct consequence of Roman intervention at Cynoscephalae.
The hemidrachm fraction saw limited production compared to the island's prolific tetradrachm output of the same period.
