| Additional information |
The magistrate name Philo appears on Theban staters issued during the city's period of Boeotian hegemony, a dominance built on the military innovations of Epaminondas and shattered at Chaeronea in 338 BC when Philip II of Macedon effectively ended Theban political independence. The annual magistrate system that produced these named issues means individual staters can sometimes be placed within narrower windows than the broader series dating suggests, though Philo's precise year of office remains unresolved in the literature.
