| Additional information |
Phenaios was a minor Arkadian city whose League membership is confirmed almost entirely through its coinage rather than literary sources. The hemidrachm issues from this mint fall within the final decades of the Achaean League's existence before Rome dissolved it entirely following the sack of Corinth in 146 BC — making every coin struck here part of a politically terminal series.
BCD Peloponnesos 1632 is a rare attribution; Phenaios contributes only a handful of documented types to the broader League hemidrachm corpus.
