| Additional information |
The Opuntian Lokrians occupied a strategically awkward position in mainland Greece — officially allied with Sparta through much of the fifth century, yet geographically exposed to Theban pressure from the north. This stater falls squarely in the period immediately following Leuktra in 371 BC, when Spartan dominance collapsed and Thebes under Epaminondas began reorganizing central Greece by force. Opous, the chief city, would have felt that pressure acutely.
BCD Lokris 13 is among the finer die-linked specimens in the H&D classification, placing it early in the sequence of this emission.
