| Additional information |
Simos is attested as a magistrate name on Larissaian coinage of the early fourth century, a period when Thessalian cities exercised genuine civic autonomy before Macedonian interference gradually reshaped regional politics. Larissa's mint was among the most prolific in Thessaly during these decades, producing drachms of consistently high silver quality drawn from regional metal sources.
BCD 1143 is a single-specimen reference, catalogued from the Boccanera-Collection-Dewing material that defined the standard for Thessalian series attribution.
