The head of Alexander and Macedon in Greek whilst Aesillas ( a non-Roman name) as a quaestor- a Roman financial position.</p><p>So he&#039;s sitting on his chair, waving his club about and forcing you to top up his bucket.</p><p>This completely new coin type with its strange mix of Greek and Roman is a coin that seemingly was proffered by the Romans in its province of Macedonia to its Thracian allies as payment and then became a type immobilier with one or two rare types that seem to refer to Roman governors etc. Bauslaugh (2000) published the final word in this coinage with a massive die study and came to the conclusion that it was an episodic coinage probably minted c 90 BC to 70&#039;s BC. This was a useful conclusion since a problem overstrike was one of the foundations of Margaret Thompson&#039;s High chronology of the NewStyle series.
