| Additional information |
Thebes struck this stater during one of the most turbulent decades in Boiotian history — the period immediately preceding the Spartan seizure of the Kadmeia in 382 BC, when a pro-Spartan faction handed over the citadel to Phoibidas without a declaration of war. The occupation would last until 379 BC and effectively suspended Theban coinage production for the duration.
The magistrate name Eche places this piece within a narrow, datable sequence of issues identified by Hepworth's die study. Few Boiotian federal staters can be attributed to specific magistrates with this degree of confidence.
