Type I, known from just two specimens, features a crouching horse reverse. Type II depicts a trotting stallion and comprises two sequences \u2013 Series A and B. Die linkage shows that most of Series A was struck using two to four anvils concurrently to speed production. The entire coinage of staters was minted during a short period of time in the mid-4th century BC. It is argued that Series A represents cavalry pay for the joint Macedonian and Thessalian army commanded by Philip II in the Thessalian campaign of c. 352 that culminated in the battle of the Crocus Field, and Series B represents cavalry pay for his subsequent operations in Thessaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Larissa, Thessaly, staters, didrachms, die study<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI: <\/strong>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52800\/ajst.1.16.a2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lorber, C.C. 2021. \u201cA Die Study of the Silver Staters (Didrachms) of Thessalian Larissa\u201d, <em>Notae Numismaticae \u2013 Zapiski Numizmatyczne<\/em> 16: 43\u201376.
