<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 2813762, member: 87080&quot;]Todays marks the 2354th anniversary of the battle of Chaeronea.&nbsp; Fought in central Greece in 338 B.C., the forces of Philip II of Macedon crushed an allied army of Athens, Thebes, Corinth, and several other Greek city-states.&nbsp; The Sacred Band of Thebes, the elite force of Thebes comprised of 150 pairs of male lovers, was destroyed and the power of Thebes was broken. The victory brought almost the entirety of Greece into alliance with Macedon, except Sparta, and allowed Philip to establish the League of Corinth.&nbsp; In early 336 B.C. Philip sent an advance force into Persian territory, with the intention of following them with his army later in the year, but was assassinated.&nbsp; His son Alexander inherited the throne, and the rest is history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your coins of Philip II of Macedon, Athens, Thebes, Corinth, or anything else you feel is relevant.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only have a Celtic imitative of Philip II.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]659109[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Celts Danube Region AR Tetradrachm</b>, 14.259g, 25.3mm, 0o,</p><p>Obv: laureate head of Zeus right.</p><p>Rev: FILIPPOU, naked youth on horse pacing right holding branch, L-K and torch below.</p><p>SGCV I 203[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
