Tetradrachm - Charidamos

Eretria's coinage in the second century BC reflects a city navigating Roman dominance with increasing difficulty. By 180 BC the polis had long since lost its classical-era prominence, and civic silver issues of this weight were becoming rare as Roman commercial networks restructured regional monetary circulation. The magistrate name Charidamos appears on a handful of known specimens, placing this among the more sparsely documented issues of the late Eretrian series.

The "var." citations against both Jameson 2075 and SNG Berry 625 suggest a die combination not precisely matched in either reference — a detail worth tracking as more examples surface.
