| Additional information |
Argos was one of the few major Peloponnesian city-states that never joined the Macedonian-allied League of Corinth on fully voluntary terms, and its silver coinage of this period reflects a civic identity stubbornly maintained through decades of shifting regional power. The triobol — half a drachm — was the workhorse denomination of everyday Argive commerce, circulating through a city whose economy depended heavily on its position between Corinth and Sparta rather than on any single export.
The tight date range brackets both the post-Leuctra realignment of Peloponnesian politics and the early Hellenistic disruptions that followed Alexander's death. Argive silver of this period is frequently found in hoards from the northeastern Peloponnese.
