| Additional information |
This stater was struck during a period of dramatic Theban political ascendancy following the Battle of Haliartus in 395 BC, when Boeotia reasserted itself against Spartan dominance. The magistrate name "Anti" — abbreviated on the coin — reflects the rotating civic officials responsible for mint authority in Thebes, a system that makes precise attribution to individual magistrates genuinely difficult and occasionally contested among specialists.
The Lockett reference places this piece in one of the twentieth century's most important dispersals of ancient Greek coinage, the Richard Cyril Lockett collection sold by Glendining's across a series of sales beginning in 1955.
