| Additional information |
This issue falls within one of the most consequential decades in Theban history. The dating corresponds to the period following the liberation of the Kadmeia in 379 BC — when a small group of exiles reclaimed the citadel from its Spartan garrison — and the subsequent rise of Theban military dominance under Epaminondas and Pelopidas. The city was effectively rebuilding its political identity from scratch, and coinage was part of that assertion.
The Hepworth 65 classification places this among a well-documented die study of Boiotian federal coinage, with BCD 504 representing a specific die pairing tracked through private and auction collections over decades.
