Coinage in the name and type of Philip II of Macedon
Philip of Macedon is the brother of Perdiccas II (365-359 AC), both sons of Amyntas III (381-369 AC). Their older brother Alexander 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 tireless 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. when 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 Macedonian throne after the birth of a boy from a second marriage.
