Additional information

Terone was a Chalkidian colony on the westernmost prong of the Halkidiki peninsula, and by the late fifth century it had been repeatedly caught between Athenian and Spartan ambitions. Athens forcibly resettled its population around 423 BC following Brasidas's campaign through the region — the city was taken, its people expelled, and Athenian colonists installed. Whether this hemiobol was struck before that rupture or during a subsequent period of restored autonomy is a question the hoard record has not yet answered cleanly.
