| Additional information |
Larissa dominated the Thessalian plain as one of the wealthiest poleis of the fourth century, its prosperity built largely on horse breeding and grain export. Bronze civic coinage of this type was struck for local market transactions while the city's silver issues circulated more widely — the two monetary streams serving functionally separate economies within the same community.
The BCD collection reference here carries weight: Silenos's Thessalian holdings, dispersed at auction in 2006, remain the benchmark for the series, and the HGC 4 attribution anchors this piece firmly within the known typological sequence.
