E. Rogers, The Copper Coinage of Thessaly (London, 1932)

Following the great victory of the Roman general Flamininus over Philip V of Macedon, in 197 BC,
the freedom of the Greeks was proclaimed at Corinth and a number of new autonomous coinages were initiated.
Those in the name of the Thessali were struck probably at Larissa.
