Commentary


Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de Meydancikkale (Gülnar II n° 52, pl. 3). La légende au revers est plutôt inhabituelle et n’est pas forcément distinguée par M. Price dans son corpus. Normalement, le titre de basileos est devant le nom du roi, la tête de Zeus coupant la légende. Sur notre exemplaire, la légende est continue, sans césure et vient se placer au-dessus du sujet, suivant le contour du flan. Le symbole (Athéna Promachos) n’est pratiquement pas visible.
Same obverse die as the Meydancikkale example (Gülnar II no. 52, pl. 3). The legend on the reverse is rather unusual and is not necessarily distinguished by Mr. Price in his corpus. Normally, the title of basileos is before the king's name, with the head of Zeus cutting the legend. In our example, the legend is continuous, without a caesura, and is placed above the subject, following the outline of the flan. The symbol (Athena Promachos) is practically not visible

Historical background


MACEDONIA - KINGDOM OF MACEDONIA - PHILIP III ARRHIDAEUS

(323-316 BC)

Coinage in the name and Alexander III the Great type

Philip, son of Philip II and the half-brother of Alexander, was not entirely in his right mind. On the death of the conqueror and faced with the lack of power, in order to maintain the fiction of the unity of the Empire, he was proclaimed king, but in fact he had no power. He was assassinated at the instigation of Olympias, Alexander's mother, in 316 BC.
