Waggoner.&quot; He asserts that a reengraved die clearly shows the &quot;lion staters&quot; with gamma followed the ones with delta. &quot;They are probably shekels on the local standard.&quot; (page 67). He dates them to the lifetime of Alexander, because they were present in a hoard with deposition dated to 323/2. He doesn&#039;t give the earliest possible date explicitly, but mentions that Mazaeus was governor until 328 and issued coins, so I infer Price would put them at or after 328. So you can say &quot;Struck 323 or before, under Alexander the Great.&quot; Quoted from [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]</p><p>Ex: [USER=44140]@Ancientnoob[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>LET’s Get SMALL</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2020-8-20_13-52-50-png.1162098/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Makedon Alexander III </p><p>336-323 BCE</p><p><b>AR Obol </b></p><p>7mm 0.51g </p><p><b>Babylon Lifetime</b></p><p>&nbsp;Herakles lion skin </p><p>Club bow quiver wreath </p><p>M Price 3744[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
