Historical background
THESSALY - TRIKKA
(480-420 BC)
Trikka, whose name comes from that of one of the daughters of the river god Peneios, was the second city of Thessaly after Larissa on the banks of Letheus. The city's main coin type resembles early Larissa issues with a Thessalian hero taming a wild bull.
