Zusätzliche Informationen

The Ainianes were a minor Thessalian people whose coinage output was extremely limited, concentrated in the late Hellenistic period as Roman administrative consolidation steadily drained civic minting authority across Greece. Hypata, their principal city, sat at the mouth of the Spercheios valley — a position of some strategic value but modest commercial weight. The Eukrates issues are among the last autonomous silver struck under their name.

The trihemidrachm denomination itself is an oddity, equivalent to one-and-a-half drachms, suggesting local accounting conventions that didn't map cleanly onto the broader Thessalian or Achaean weight standards.
