<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7537488, member: 86498&quot;]Larissa Ar Drachm 404=370 BC Obv. Head of nymph Larissa 3/4 facing left. Rv. Horse grazing left. HGC 432 Lorber O5 R4a This coin illustrated. 6.06 grms 18 mm Photo by W. Hansen[ATTACH=full]1301252[/ATTACH]In her previous essay on these coins printed in 1992 Lorber lists this coin as 28.5a part of her group Head type13 group. She subsequently decided that this group was earlier in the sequence though she still placed it in her overall Group 1. This image is enchanting with her large rather sad looking eyes and downturned mouth giving the whole image a sense of melancholy. What is remarkable is that only a few years after the striking of Kimon&#039;s masterpiece which was struck at Syracuse, another artist using a much smaller canvas creates an equally remarkable image. What is interesting as well is the ever so subtle hint that the nymph is turning her head to her right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
