Au droit de notre tétrobole, la massue qui orne le bouclier macédonien se retrouve sur l’ensemble du monnayage après la bataille de Pydna. Légende du droit en boustrophédon. Les trois monogrammes du revers peuvent constituer des marques d’émission ou les initiales de magistrats monétaires chargés de vérifier la fabrication.

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.
