| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing female figure, identified as the nymph Ennodia, rendered in draped attire, faces right and leads a horse by the bridle. The horse stands in profile facing left, depicted with naturalistic detail typical of Thessalian provincial coinage, evoking the region's celebrated equestrian tradition. The figure of Ennodia, a Thessalian goddess associated with crossroads and horses, is shown in a graceful contrapposto stance. The reverse legend ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΟΥ ΛΑΟΥΧΟΥ appears in the field, naming the local magistrate (strategos) Laouchos under whose authority the coin was issued. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Thessaly — the federal league of Thessalian cities — retained the right to strike bronze under Nero, a privilege that depended entirely on Rome's continued goodwill toward provincial civic institutions. The magistrate name ΛΑΟΥΧΟΥ (Laouchos) appearing here identifies a local strategos, the chief executive officer of the Koinon, whose tenure likely fell within Nero's early reign before the deteriorating political climate of the mid-60s AD made such civic displays increasingly fraught.
Thessalian federal bronzes of this period are consistently underrepresented in major collections relative to comparable provincial issues from Asia Minor.
