<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3514263, member: 96635&quot;]I got some cheap bronze coins from the Thessalian League, they are kind of interesting and the Thessalian league seemed to be minting coins long after it became a Roman province (until 27 BC). Unfortunately, there is not much variation in their coins, pretty much all the coins are Athena / Horse, Apollo / Athena and Zeus / Athena.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/e0Qbc5D.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Thessaly, Thessalian League. AE Dichalkon. Ippaitas magistrate (Late 2nd-mid 1st century B.C.)</b></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> IΠΠAI[TAΣ] helmeted head of Athena right.</p><p><b>Reverse:</b> ΘEΣΣAΛΩN, horse trotting right.</p><p><br /></p><p>The above coin, is on the first sight in quite &#039;rough&#039; condition (cleaning and chipping), however, the horse is really nice and sharp, a great relief. The magistrate Ippaitas with the bronze issue Athena / horse is probably the commonest Thessalian coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/AtRMW3b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>Thessaly, Thessalian League.
