Historical Context: These coins were minted in MARONEIA (Thrace) between 400-350 BC. This area was named after Maron, a priest of Apollo, who was featured in the Odyssey by Homer the Poet. Maroneia was noted for its fine quality wine. Thrace was a kingdom that was later founded by Lysimachos, 323-281 BC, who expanded its rule over much of Asia minor following the defeat of Antigonos the One-eyed. These coins predate that period.

Historical Context: This coin was minted in Syracuse during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Campania was a Greek region on the western shore of Italy. Neapolis was originally a Rhodian colony named Parthenope. The city was recolonized by the Kymaians c. 600 BC. Its name changed to Neapolis c. 450 BC. It became allied with the Romans after 327 BC. These coins "Romano-Campanian" didrachms were deliberately intended to supplant the Greek didrachms in southern Italy. Some were actually produced by Greek mints acting under Roman direction.
