| Additional information |
Maroneia, the Thracian coastal city whose wine was famous enough to appear in Homer, struck these hemidrachms during a period when the city was navigating competing pressures from Macedonian expansion to the west and the remnants of Athenian imperial ambition at sea. The magistrate name Neomenias appears across a tight cluster of die-linked specimens, suggesting a relatively short but productive issuing period within the broader 386–347 range.
The Schönert-Geiss corpus remains the definitive reference for Maronite silver, and the spread of catalog numbers here — 565 through 592 — reflects genuine die variation rather than major type changes.
