Drachm

Pharsalos was among the most politically volatile cities in Thessaly throughout the fifth and fourth centuries, its ruling dynasties cycling through periods of dominance and subordination as Macedonian pressure from the north increased. This drachm falls within a production window that spans the city's greatest independent influence, roughly coinciding with the ascendancy of the Thessalian League and the periodic interventions of figures like Lycophron of Pherae.

The Lavva corpus remains the specialized reference of record for Pharsalian coinage, with BCD Thessaly I offering the most rigorously die-linked analysis of the series to date.
