| Additional information |
Thebes dominated Boeotian coinage during this period largely on the strength of its military and political hegemony over the league, and the stater series reflects that — production was effectively centralized under Theban control following the city's rise after Leuctra in 371 BC. The magistrate name partially preserved in the catalog entry places this piece within a known sequence of eponymous officials responsible for authorizing issues, a practice that allows approximate die-period attribution even when literary sources fall silent.
The BCD collection reference is significant: Lew Brice's assemblage of Boeotian material remains the benchmark for this series, and lot 561 specifically anchors the Hepworth typology at a well-documented node.
