[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 3124336, member: 51347"]I am slowly and not specifically, building a Collection of Makedon Kings. I try not to mispell the nation: - If it was the independent Kingdom, north of Greece, I spell it and pronounce it as they did: MAKEDON. - If it is part of the Roman Empire, then it is Macedonia. This helps me place the coins in the historical perspective. I recently captured a cool, albeit difficult to find, Alexander I. All of a sudden, I began to realize I was building a [B]Argead Dynasty - Makedon Basileus collection - BEFORE Alexander III[/B]: My recent capture: ALEXANDER I [ATTACH=full]795765[/ATTACH] MAKEDON [B]Alexander I 498-454 BCE[/B] AR Obol 10mm 0.75g Horse - Quadripartite incuse square SNG ANS 32 Rare [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_I_of_Macedon[/url] [ATTACH=full]795768[/ATTACH] MAKEDON [B]Perdikkos II 454-413 BCE [/B] AR heavy tetrobol 2.4g 15mm 12h mint 437-431 BC horseman holding two spears prancing Forepart Lion in incuse square Raymond 184ff SNG ANS 47ff [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perdiccas_II_of_Macedon[/url] [ATTACH=full]795770[/ATTACH] MAKEDON [B]Amyntas II 395-393 BCE[/B] Æ12, Dichalkon 2.0g, 12h; Aigai or Pella mint.
