  Laeaeans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laeaeans were a Paionian tribe who in the fourth century BC lived adjacent to the Agrianes, another Paionian tribe, along the upper course of the Strymon river, at the western edge of Thrace.
The coins issued by the Laeaeans are judged to be of crude workmanship, and seem to be imitations of finer minted coins issued by other neighboring Paionian tribes such as the Derrones.
A typical coin bears the inscription LAIAI (Laeaeans) on the obverse, and a Pegasus in a double linear square on the reverse.
