Larissa Silver Drachm: Facing Head of the Nymph and Thessalian Equine Iconography

An in-depth study of the fourth-century BCE silver drachm of Larissa in Thessaly, examining its classical facing nymph portraiture, reverse equine typology, epigraphic variants, and the shift from Fritz Herrmann's 344 BCE cessation theory to the modern post-Macedonian chronology established by Thomas R. Martin and Catharine Lorber.
