Historical Context: This silver obol, dated 465-460 BC, originates from Tegea, a significant city-state within the Arcadian League in the Peloponnese. This early Classical period followed the Persian Wars, marked by shifting power dynamics and inter-polis rivalries. Tegea, strategically vital, often navigated a complex, sometimes independent, relationship with Sparta. The minting of this small denomination coinage by Tegea highlights its economic activity and civic autonomy within the Arcadian confederation, essential for local commerce.
Artistry: The specific engraver is unknown, typical for this period and denomination. The obol showcases the emerging Early Classical style, transitioning from Archaic stiffness
