| Additional information |
Dikaia was a small Greek colonial settlement on the Thermaic Gulf, almost certainly a Eretrian foundation, and one of the more obscure minting authorities in the northern Aegean. Its coinage output was modest and its civic life largely undocumented — most of what is known comes from the coins themselves. The tetrobol denomination places this squarely in the fractional silver tradition common to Macedonian coastal cities during the fifth century, when autonomous small-denomination coinage served intensely local exchange needs before Macedonian royal consolidation gradually absorbed these independent mints.
