Tetradrachm - Eumareides, Alkidam... and Thoi...

This piece belongs to the New Style coinage introduced by Athens around 196 BC, a series distinguished by its magistrate name system — three officials per issue, rotating annually. The names partially preserved here, Eumareides, Alkidam—, and Thoi—, correspond to Thompson 672b, placing this emission firmly in the well-documented sequential chronology Margaret Thompson established in her 1961 monograph. New Style tetradrachms were struck to fund Athenian civic obligations during a period when the city retained nominal autonomy under Roman oversight following 146 BC, though real political independence was long gone.
