Notes: The coins of Larisa in Troas were until recently believed to have been from Larisa Phrikonis in Aeolis. The bronze coins from this city are rare, with silver coins extremely rare (only four published specimens, all diobols).  Historical record of the city's tribute to Athens (3 talents) indicate that it was a relatively wealthy settlement.  In 399 BC, it came again under Persian control, but the next year, was liberated by the Spartans.  [/QUOTE]
