| Additional information |
The Euboian League was a short-lived federal experiment, reconstituted under Theban pressure following Sparta's dissolution of it after the King's Peace of 386 BC. The League's revival — and this coinage with it — depended almost entirely on Theban military dominance in central Greece, a dominance that collapsed at the Battle of Mantinea in 362 BC and left the federation increasingly hollow before its final extinction during Philip II's Macedonian campaigns.
The weight standard here tracks the Euboic-Attic system, which Euboian cities had used intermittently for generations, reflecting commercial ties to Athens rather than to Corinthian or Aiginetan trading networks.
