| Additional information |
Gyrton was a Perrhaebian city in northern Thessaly, near the Peneios River, and its bronze coinage is poorly documented in ancient sources — the city itself appears rarely outside of geographic lists and mythological references connecting it to the hero Gyrtone. Issues attributed to this type span a broad century-long window, suggesting the attribution rests more on stylistic grouping than on epigraphic or archaeological precision.
Rogers 232 and the corresponding BMC entry remain the primary anchors for classification. Few collections hold more than one or two specimens.
