Commentary
Nous ne pouvons pas déterminer le nom du monétaire sur cet exemplaire. La facture du cratère et le fait qu’il ne soit pas surmonté d’un symbole nous pousse à penser qu’il doit appartenir à une série relativement ancienne.
We cannot determine the name of the mint on this specimen. The texture of the krater and the fact that it is not surmounted by a symbol lead us to believe that it must belong to a relatively old series.

Historical background
BEOTIA - THEBES
(5th - 4th century BC)
Thebes was Athens' great rival. During the Peloponnesian War (431-404 AC.), she was an ally of Sparta. It dominated Greece, thanks to the strategist Epaminondas who, after the liberation of Thebes in 379 BC, successively triumphed over Sparta at Leuctra (371 AC.) and Corinth (369 AC.) before finding death at Mantinea (362 AC.). After this date, Philip II of Macedonia imposes his domination over Boeotia. Thebes was crushed in 338 BC at Chéronée where Alexander cut his teeth. The city is destroyed three years later.
