Kingdom of Macedon, Kassander Æ20. Pella or Amphipolis, 305-298 BC
In his youth, Kassander was taught by the philosopher Aristotle at the Lyceum in Macedonia. He was educated alongside Alexander the Great in a group that included Hephaestion, Ptolemy and Lysimachus. Perhaps envy in youth made him spiteful toward Alexander. A later contemporary even suggested he had poisoned Alexander. In his struggle for power, Kassander had Alexander's mother Olympias, his son Alexander IV, his wife Roxana, and even Alexander's supposed illegitimate son Heracles all executed. It was said that Kassander could not even pass a statue of Alexander without feeling faint.GB88128. Bronze AE 22, SNG Alpha Bank 903, SNG Munchen 1007, McClean 3559, SNG Cop 1142 ff. var.
