Macedonian Kingdom, Anonymous, c. 311 - 179 B.C., Struck in the Name of Alexander the Great
|Macedonian| |Kingdom|, |Macedonian| |Kingdom,| |Anonymous,| |c.| |311| |-| |179| |B.C.,| |Struck| |in| |the| |Name| |of| |Alexander| |the| |Great|, Alexander the Great is arguably the most famous man of antiquity. Born a leader, his genius and charisma led the Macedonian Army creating an empire that covered most of the then-known world, from Greece to India. He was regarded as a god and his fame grew even greater after his premature death at thirty-three. His reign marks the beginning of the Hellenistic Age, a time when almost every aspect of human civilization flourished. His coinage is highly complex, struck in cities all over the ancient map and spanning over two hundred years.
