Commentary
Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de la collection BCD, n° 539, présentant le même petit défaut dans le champ à droite. Dans la collection BCD, ce statère se place juste avant la série attribuée à Epaminondas qui trouva la mort à la bataille de Mantinée en 362 avant J.-C .
Same obverse die as the copy in the BCD collection, no. 539, which has the same small defect in the right field. In the BCD collection, this stater is placed just before the series attributed to Epaminondas, who died at the Battle of Mantinea in 362 BC.

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.
