<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7789784, member: 86498"]In answer to [USER=118780]@kirispupis[/USER] Probably the best overall discussion on the coinage of Alexander III is this one. One that I have mentioned a number of times[ATTACH=full]1337158[/ATTACH] This book was written by Georges Le Rider in 2007. This one is the best. In this book he does refer to Hyla Troxell's conclusions from this book. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1337159[/ATTACH] There are other discussions mostly by Lloyd Taylor in the AJN and Koinon There are others but these are the principals. Overall I do agree with the timeline as given by the scholars listed above though in one minor area I still believe Price is more correct. Le Rider postulates that the Alexanders from Arados commence in 332 BC however given the remarkably small issue of this coinage I believe that this coinage probably started in 325 BC along with mints such as Damaskos. </p><p>Tetradrachm of Arados Minted under the aegis of Laomedon 322-320 BC In the name and types of Alexander the Great Obv Head of Herakles wearing lion skin headdress. Rv Zeus Aetophoros seated left. Price 3332 HGC 910n 17.10 grams 25 mm Photo by W. Hansen [ATTACH=full]1337180[/ATTACH]</p><p>Laomedon appears to have been an partisan of Perdikkas and was given Syria to govern. He almost immediately locked horns with Ptolemy. He was caught up in the defeat of Perdikkas at the hands of Ptolemy. His fate is unrecorded. On a personal note; I have always loved how the fur on the headress is trested on this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
