Tanagra occupied an awkward position among the Boiotian city-states — nominally part of the Boiotian League yet frequently at odds with Theban dominance. This stater was struck during precisely that tension, a period bookended by Spartan intervention and the eventual Theban hegemony under Epaminondas. The city's independent coinage was effectively curtailed as Theban power consolidated after Leuktra in 371 BC, making the production window for municipally distinct Tanagran issues narrow.
The BCD specimen catalogued as 265 passed through the Boiotia collection assembled by the banker and collector known publicly only by that acronym — one of the most rigorously documented regional Greek series ever privately held.
