| Additional information |
Domitian's relationship with the Greek provinces was complicated by his aggressive demands for emperor worship, and Thessalian civic issues of his reign reflect the careful diplomatic balancing act provincial mints performed — honoring Rome without provoking local resentment. The Larisa attribution places this within the oldest continuously inhabited city in Greece, a settlement with mint activity stretching back to the Archaic period.
The reference II#290 places it within a recognized but sparsely documented series; Thessalian bronze of this period survives in small numbers, partly because the region's economy relied heavily on larger denominational silver in earlier centuries, leaving bronze issues underfunded and short-lived.
