Tricca (Histiaeotis) was named after the fountain-nymph Trikka, a
daughter of the river Peneius, on the left bank of which the city stood.
The town is mentioned by Homer as subject to Podaleirios and Machaon,
sons of Asklepios, who led the Triccaeans in the Trojan war. At Tricca
was the most ancient and illustrious of all the temples of Asklepios in
Greece, and to this sacred place the sick had recourse from all parts
(Strab., viii. 374; ix. 437).

Thessali. In b. C. 196 the Thessali, the Perrhaebi, and the Magnetes,
were proclaimed free by Flamininus, whereupon the Thessali instituted a
federal currency, probably striking their coins at Larissa.
The Magnetes at the same time began to issue silver and bronze at
their capital Demetrias; but the Perrhaebi at Olodsson struck only in
bronze. All these coinages came to an end in b. c. 146, when Thessaly
was incorporated in the Homan province of Macedon.
