The veiled head with the inscr. <t>OIAS is usually supposed to be a
portrait of Phthia, the mother of Pyrrhus. Some have, however, seen in
it an ideal personification of the district Phthia in Thessaly, whence
Pyrrhus traced the origin of his race.

very beautiful Attic drachm in the Santangelo Museum at Naples. Obv.
