Larissa

Local fountain nymph of the town with same name in Thessaly.

When Larissa ceased minting the federal coins it shared with other Thessalian towns and adopted its own coinage in the late fifth century B.C., it chose local types for its coins. The obverse depicted the nymph Larissa, probably inspired by the famous coins of Kimon depicting the Syracusan nymph Arethusa.
