<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8082652, member: 118780&quot;]Yes, it looks to have been minted shortly after Alexander&#039;s death by either Menander or Kleitos the White. I have a bronze from the same area/time. I like to show it off to annoy [USER=91461]@Ryro[/USER] since the shield is upside-down.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1403806[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So, no. Alexander could not have given your coin to Roxana to buy bagels. It&#039;s unclear exactly when Roxana traveled from Babylon to Macedon, so there&#039;s a tiny chance she stopped through Sardis on the way and was given your coin by Menander to buy bagels.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also possible, as [USER=128351]@GinoLR[/USER] mentions, that Antigonos gave it to his son Demetrios to buy bagels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, bagels probably didn&#039;t cost an entire drachma back then. That was a full day&#039;s wages. Maybe the boulangerie gave Demetrios change (perhaps with my coin)? Or maybe he bought a lot of bagels? After all, he did have an army to feed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
