Coins from Halos

Situated in Achaia Phthiotis, ancient Halos was perhaps located near the modern town of Almyros (which is itself located on the fertile plain known as "Crocus Field"). According to Herodotos (7.173.1) the Greek fleet disembarked an army of 10,000 at Halos in advance of Xerxes' approach on the Vale of Tempe in 480 BC. There have been some recent excavations but the most prominent remains are those of fortifications. The most important deity was Zeus Laphystios, who had a sanctuary there and appears on the city’s coinage. The city produced a relatively small but attractive bronze coinage in the 4th-3rd centuries BC, beginning with a small issue of beautiful late classical coins in the mid 4th century BC; all the rest is Hellenistic and dates to the 3rd century BC.
