Obol - Philokrates, Italos and Petraios

The Thessalian League's autonomous coinage effectively ended when Augustus reorganized the Greek provinces after Actium. This obol falls within that narrow window — roughly 30 to 27 BC — when the League still issued bronze under its own magistrates before Roman administrative consolidation curtailed local monetary authority. The three magistrate names, Philokrates, Italos, and Petraios, appear together on a handful of catalogued pieces, placing this among the final documented issues of an institution that had operated, with interruptions, since the third century BC.
