| Aanvullende informatie |
Lyttos was among the most militarily aggressive of the Cretan poleis, and its coinage reflects a city that punched well above its size. The city was ultimately destroyed around 220 BC by Knossos and its Aetolian allies — an act of such deliberate brutality that even ancient sources treated it as exceptional. Staters from this mint therefore have a hard terminus: production ceased with the city itself.
The Svoronos reference places this piece within a well-documented but numerically small series. Weber 4523 is among the more frequently cited parallels in auction literature for this type.
