Commentary


Semble de même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de la collection V. Brand, et BCD, LHS 96, n° 1318. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le présentons à la vente.
Appears to have the same obverse die as the copy in the V. Brand collection, and BCD, LHS 96, no. 1318. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered it for sale.

Historical background


ARGOLIS - KLEONAI

(5th - 4th century BC)

Kleonai was founded by an eponymous hero. The Nemean lion terrorized the region before its eviction by Heracles. The city was famous for its military architecture and its acropolis. The Nemean games, created in 573 BC, took place in the valley of Nemea where the temple of Herakles Nemean was located. The city was often the ally or under the protection of Argos, first against Corinth, then against Sparta during various conflicts which marked the 5th and then the 4th century BC..
