General: In ancient times Larissa was a city in Thessaly and the mythological birthplace of Achilles. Today, it is the capital and largest city in modern Thessaly. It is also the namesake of the nymph Larissa who was the daughter of Pelasgus, son of Triopas, King of Argos. The depiction of Larissa was borrowed from that of Arethusa of the famous coinage of Sicily, Syracuse. Here, she faces to the left, a scarcer type than the middle-facing types.
