The article deals with the locrian coinage and suggests a new chronology of it using, as interpretive key, letters and monograms that are impressed on the coins, which permit to establish relations of contemporaneity. Assuming that those symbols identify the eponymous magistrates of the polis, it is also possible to establish chronological relations with some bronze tablets from the archive of Zeus Olympios, dated just through the eponymous. The research shows a large concentration of issues between 4th and 3rd century b.C. and a strong relation between Locri and Syracuse in the age of Agathokles. Also the problem of the basileus (magistrate in Locri or foreign king?) is again called into question: according to this reconstruction, five of the six tablets mentioning him should be ascribed just to Agathokles.
