Additional information

Mantinea's coinage resumes after 385 BC only because the city itself resumed — Sparta had razed it and dispersed its population, and the synoikism was not reversed until 370/69 BC following Epaminondas's Theban intervention in the Peloponnese. These small silver fractions belong to the subsequent civic rebuild, struck as the polis reasserted administrative and commercial independence after nearly two decades of forced dissolution.
