Additional information

Argos maintained a civic silver coinage long after most Peloponnesian cities had abandoned the practice under Roman economic pressure, and these late triobol issues — struck through the mid-first century BC — reflect a stubborn local monetary tradition rather than any practical necessity. The magistrate name Damosthe appears on a small cluster of dies within this series, placing production within a narrow administrative window.

The BCD Peloponnesos reference collection remains the authoritative die study for this material.
