BOEOTIA, Thebes. Circa 395-338 BC. AR Obol (11mm, 0.86 g). Boiotian shield; club left across above upper half / Youthful head of Herakles right, wearing lion's skin headdress. BCD Boiotia 545. VF, toned.



From the BCD Collection.

Unlike the other two named obols, KL (BCD 535) and QE (BCD 547-8) there is no other magistrate's name starting with EP so the attribution of this obol to the famous Epaminondas is secure.
