Stater - Nikokrates, Philoxenides and Petraios

The Thessalian League's late magistrate series, to which this stater belongs, was struck during a period of acute Roman administrative pressure on Greek federal coinage. By the mid-first century BC, the League operated under Roman provincial oversight following Macedon's fall in 168 BC and the subsequent reorganization of Greek affairs — its coinage rights effectively a Roman concession. The three magistrate names appearing on this issue reflect the League's collegial mint authority, a survival of older federal governance structures increasingly hollowed out under Roman rule.
