Stater

The Opuntian Lokrians occupied a strategically awkward position in fourth-century Greece — nominally allied with Sparta through much of the classical period, yet geographically exposed to Theban pressure following Leuktra in 371 BC. This stater almost certainly falls in the decade immediately after that battle, when the old Spartan order collapsed and smaller poleis were scrambling to reposition themselves diplomatically and militarily.

BCD Lokris 14 is a well-documented die pairing in a series where die linkage studies have done most of the heavy chronological lifting, given the absence of ancient literary sources on Opuntian minting decisions.
