Historical background

DANUBIAN CELTS - IMITATIONS OF THASOS AND MORONEIA

(2nd - 1st century BC)

After 357 BC, Thasos fell under Macedonian rule. It regained part of its independence with the death of Lysimachus in 281 BC. After the defeat of Cynoscephali in 197 BC, Thasos again became autonomous. From 148 or 146 BC, the Roman Senate authorized Thasos and Maronea to mint wide blank tetradrachms which were minted in very large quantities and imitated in the Balkans until the end of the 1st century BC. -VS.
