Additional information

Haliartos was a Boeotian city with a short independent minting history — the city was razed by the Spartans in 371 BC following its support of Thebes, which almost certainly brought local coin production to a hard stop. A hemiobol at 0.41g sits at the smallest practical denomination in silver, the kind of coin that passed hands for a handful of olives and was lost in floor rushes more often than it was saved.
