The Larissa thread reminded me of a few Larissa fractions with the nymph playing with a ball - all were described as obols, though the weights vary from 0.6g to 1.4g. In the last example, she is holding a ball and hoop. I wonder if any particular sport is depicted - handball?! ATB, Aidan.
Sad little story... she was playing ball by a river, accidentally fell into it and drowned. I really like these little obols.
Nice ... very cool OP-coins, akeady (congrats) Sadly, I don't have any of those Larissa examples, but I've always thought that this coin reminds me of a classic give-and-go basketball move ... P Nerva, AR denarius "Voting scene"
Great coins, everyone! I am still looking for one with her playing with a ball. I just have this trihemiobol, with the Nymph Larissa seated and holding mirror, right hand raised.
