Ancient coins are studied in different periods depending on stylistic changes in engraving art and historical events. The Archaic Period to art historians began earlier, but for numismatists, it may be dated approximately from 650 to 480 BC. It is the age of symbolism: animals, mythological creatures, plants, and later depictions of gods, goddesses and other deities were the main types of coins.
The Archaic Period works have a stiff and ridged appearance similar to that of the Egyptian and the Hittite sculpture. The Archaic Period marked a transition period between the geometric period and the classical period. Alongside the patterns and abstract forms of the geometric period, a more individualized style was adapted. Increasing wealth and a rise in civic pride influenced the commissioning of bigger temples, dedications, and graves. Subject matter was expanded toward the end of this period. Direct representation of historical events was rare, but myths were often used in their place. Many features of this period can be traced to ancient coins.

Τενέα. Η ανασκαφή φέρνει στο φως την αρχαία πόλη.

In July 1984, a sarcophagus of the early archaic period was found during rescue excavations in the area of Faneromeni near the town of Chiliomodi. On the interior of the covering slab a unique composition of two lions of monumental character is depicted. The first systematic excavation in the area started in 2013. Initially, a rich archaic cemetery was excavated with unique finds worthy of the importance of the city of Tenea. During the excavations of 2016 and 2017, a magnificent funerary monument of the Roman times was revealed, with a unique lay-out for the Corinthia. Beneath it a cistern was discovered dedicated to ritual purposes. A very rich cemetery surrounds the Roman mausoleum, with burials from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, offering important knowledge in regard to the society, which inhabited the city. In 2018 elaborate domestic complexes were discovered, due to which the excavation of Tenea was considered to be among the most important projects in Greece and abroad.

New Evidence for the Coinage of Tenea.

Le più antiche emissioni provenienti dalla città di Tenea, a lungo dipendente dalla vicina Corinto, risalgono solo al II sec. a.C. La produzione di moneta locale, allora segno del-l'indipendenza della città, sembra però aver subito presto una battuta d'arresto per riprendere soltanto alcuni secoli più tardi in epoca romana imperiale. Particolare attenzione viene data alle emissioni del periodo di Settimio Severo recanti le effigi dell'imperatore, di Iulia Domna e del figlio Caracalla. Queste mostrano non poche somiglianze con monete coeve battute nelle città di Megara, Pellene e Sicyon. Tali similitudini costituiscono un tangibile indizio del-l'impiego da parte della città di Tenea di personale itinerante che permetteva l'emissione di denaro in caso di necessità, anche in assenza di officine stabili per la produzione di moneta locale. Ciò sembra confermato anche dalle differenze tra i coni prodotti nella città del Pelo-ponneso con quelli della vicina di Corinto la quale invece era dotata di una propria zecca.
