Commentary


Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié avec ce type de différent monétaire (aigle). Ce différent très particulier nous fait immédiatement penser au premier monnayage d’Alexandre III avec la tête de Zeus au droit et un aigle debout à droite, tournant la tête à gauche (Le Rider, pl. 49, n° 1 à 3) pour les tétradrachmes. Ce tétradrachme serait alors un exemplaire de transition entre le monnayage de Philippe II et celui d’Alexandre III au tournant de 336, au moment de l’assassinat de Philippe II.
Seems to be completely new and unlisted with this type of monetary difference (eagle). This very particular difference immediately makes us think of the first coinage of Alexander III with the head of Zeus on the right and an eagle standing on the right, turning its head to the left (The Rider, pl. 49, nos. 1 to 3) for the tetradrachms. This tetradrachm would then be a transitional example between the coinage of Philip II and that of Alexander III at the turn of 336, at the time of the assassination of Philip II

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.
