| Beschrijving keerzijde | The paired piloi (conical caps) of the Dioskouroi, Kastor and Polydeukes, depicted side by side in the center of the field, each surmounted by a star. Two monograms appear in the spaces between and flanking the piloi. A circular Greek legend surrounds the central devices, referencing the Lakonian civic authority. The composition is a canonical Spartan reverse type evoking the divine twin patrons of the city. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By the mid-first century BC, Lakedaimon was a shadow of its former power — a provincial Roman-era town issuing small bronze for local exchange, its autonomy nominal under Achaean and then Roman oversight. The tetrachalkon series to which this piece belongs is catalogued in the BCD collection as one of the final expressions of a civic coinage tradition that had been intermittent and poorly institutionalized for decades.
The BCD Peloponnesos sale remains the definitive reference point for these late Lakonian bronzes, many of which survive in small numbers with no surviving mint records.
