ACARNANIA.
The following bronze coin of Stratus belongs also to the fourth
century:—
Head of Kallirrhoe (?). ? TP AT I nN Head of Acheloiis . JE -7
1 (B. M. Cat., Pl. XXIX. 16.)
Thyrrheium was in late times a place of some importance, and after the
separation of Leucas from Acarnania in B. c. 167, it became the chief
place of mintage for silver in Acarnania. It struck Corinthian staters
(b.c. 350-229?) with inscr. O. OY, OYP, OYPP, and perhaps also certain
pieces weighing about 106 grs., with Corinthian types and the Acheloiis
head as an adjunct symbol behind the head of Pallas. To this period
likewise belong the bronze coins:—
Head of Pallas in Attic helmet. | OYPPEnN or OYP Owl . Hl .8—6
Cf. similar coins with Attic types of Argos and Medeon.
After circ. B.c. 167.
When Leucas was separated from Acarnania, Thyrrheium appears to
have adopted the types of the Federal coinage which ceased to be issued
at that time.
