Commentary
Au droit de notre tétrobole, la massue qui orne le bouclier macédonien se retrouve sur l’ensemble du monnayage après la bataille de Pydna. Les trois monogrammes du revers peuvent constituer des marques d’émission ou les initiales de magistrats monétaires chargés de vérifier la fabrication.
to the obverse of our tetrobole, the club which adorns the Macedonian shield is found on all the coinage after the battle of Pydna. The three monograms on the reverse may constitute issue marks or the initials of monetary magistrates responsible for verifying the manufacture

Historical background
MACEDONIA - ROMAN PROVINCE
(2nd century BC)
After the capture of Perseus at Pydna in 168 BC by Paul-Émile, Greece was separated into four republics. After Andriscus' revolt, Macedonia was heavily taxed and treated as a conquered province. Under the Empire, it became a senatorial province.
