Argos Amphilochikon was a minor polis in Akarnania whose coinage output was limited enough that this stater type goes unassigned in the standard Pegasi reference — a telling indicator of how rarely these pieces appear in the trade. The city traced its mythological founding to Amphilochos, son of the seer Amphiaraos, which gave it an unusually distinct civic identity for a small Akarnanians settlement. BCD 141 represents essentially the benchmark attribution for the type, as the BCD collection remains the single most systematically documented assembly of Akarnanians coinage ever formed.
