| Additional information |
Thebes issued this stater during the period of Boeotian hegemony — the roughly two decades following Epaminondas's shattering victory at Leuctra in 371 BC, when Sparta's military dominance collapsed almost overnight. The magistrate name Damokl appearing on this issue places it within the administrative apparatus of a city at the height of its political reach, briefly the most powerful polis in Greece. That dominance ended at Chaeronea in 338 BC, after which Macedonian control effectively terminated independent Theban coinage of this type.
