Commentary
Mêmes coins que l’exemplaire de la vente Serrure du 30-31 mars 1914, n° 47 (Le Rider, p. 243, n° 84, pl. 84, A/ 54 - R/ 40). Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est le seul cas d’utilisation avec le trident tourné à gauche, tous les autres ont la tête de trident tournée à droite.
Same corners as the copy from the Serrure sale of March 30-31, 1914, no. 47 (Le Rider, p. 243, no. 84, pl. 84, A/ 54 - R/ 40). This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. This is the only case of use with the trident turned to the left, all the others have the trident head turned to the right

Historical background
MACEDONIA - MACEDONIAN KINGDOM - PHILIP II
(359-336 BC)
Philip of Macedon was the brother of Perdiccas III (365-359 AC.), both sons of Amyntas III (381-369 AC.). Their older brother Alexander II was assassinated by Ptolemy who received the regency for Perdiccas III and Philip II (369-365 AC.). Ptolemy was finally killed by Philip II in 365 BC while his brother died fighting the Illyrians six years later. Philip II began the conquest of the Greek world from 357 BC He was the indefatigable enemy of Athens and Demosthenes. He seized Amphipolis in 357 BC and took twenty years to conquer Greece. The victory of Chéronée crowned his work in 338 before J. - C. He was assassinated in 336 before J. - C., at the instigation of his first wife, Olympias, who was afraid to see her son Alexander, dispossessed of the throne of Macedonia after the birth of a boy from a second marriage.
