Argilos was a city of ancient Macedonia founded by a colony of Greeks from Andros. Although little information is known about the city until about 480 BC, the literary tradition dates the foundation to around 655/654 BC which makes Argilos the earliest Greek colony on the Thracian coast. It appears from Herodotus to have been a little to the right of the route the army of Xerxes I took during its invasion of Greece in 480 BC in the Greco-Persian Wars. Its territory must have extended as far as the right bank of the Strymona, since the mountain of Kerdylion belonged to the city.
Argilos benefited from the trading activities along the Strymona and probably also from the gold mines of the Pangeion. Ancient authors rarely mention the site, but nevertheless shed some light on the important periods of its history. In the last quarter of the 6th century BC, Argilos founded two colonies, Tragilos, in the Thracian heartland, and Kerdilion, a few kilometers to the east of the city.
Alexander I was the ruler of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia from c.498 BC until his death in 454 BC. Alexander came to the throne during the era of the kingdom's vassalage to Persia, dating back to the time of his father, Amyntas I. Although Macedonia retained a broad scope of autonomy, in 492 BC it was made a fully subordinate part of the Persian Empire. Alexander I acted as a representative of the Persian governor Mardonius during peace negotiations after the Persian defeat at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC. From the time of Mardonius' conquest of Macedonia, Herodotus disparagingly refers to Alexander I as “hyparchos”, meaning viceroy. However, despite his cooperation with Persia, Alexander frequently gave supplies and advice to the Greek city states, and warned them of the Persian plans before the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC. After their defeat at Plataea, when the Persian army under the command of Artabazus tried to retreat all the way back to Asia Minor, most of the 43,000 survivors of the battle were attacked and killed by the forces of Alexander at the estuary of the Strymona river.
Alexander regained Macedonian independence after the end of the Persian Wars and was given the title "philhellene" by the Athenians, a title used for Greek patriots.
After the Persian defeat, Argilos became a member of the first Athenian confederation but the foundation of Amphipolis in 437 BC, which took control of the trade along the Strymona, brought an end to this. Thucydides tells us that some Argilians took part in this foundation but that the relations between the two cities quickly deteriorated and, during the Peloponnesian war, the Argilians joined with the Spartan general Brasidas to attack Amphipolis. An inscription from the temple of Asklepios in Epidauros attests that Argilos was an independent city during the 4th century.
Like other colonies in the area, Argilos was conquered by the Macedonian king Philip II in 357 B.C. Historians believe that the city was then abandoned and, though excavations have brought to light an important agricultural settlement on the acropolis dated to the years 350-200 BC, no Roman or Byzantine ruins have been uncovered there.1 comments*Alex

From Pliny the Elder we know the detailed description of a famous bronze sculpture of Praxiteles (4th century BC) named Sauroktonos, the Lizard-killer. The original sculpture is lost. We have two Roman marble copies in the Louvre and in the Musei Vaticani in Rome. May be the coin is the pic of Pliny's description or may be not. But the reverse shows clearly the two sides of Apollo: Here the youthful smiling bringer of light and in the same moment the merciless killer for fun.Jochen

BYZANTINE, Constantine IV, AV Solidus.Constantine IV, Pogonatus, 15 July 668 - 10 July 685 A.D.

Cf. Sear 1153.
Constantine IV ruled jointly with his father, Constans II, from A.D.654 to A.D.668, and then with his brothers, Heraclius and Tiberius, from A.D.659 until A.D. 681.
Constantine IV, Pogonatus should be credited with saving Europe from Muslim conquest when, after besieging Constantinople for four years, the Arabs led by caliph Muawija I were forced to retreat. The use by the Byzantines of the famous "Greek Fire" having made the city impregnable. In A.D.681 Constantine IV deposed his two brothers. Constantine IV was succeeded by his 16 year old son Justinian II in A.D.685.

C. Cut in Antiquity: Halved AR Shekel (13 x 22mm, 4.10g), Punic Spain, Carthago Nova, 2nd Punic WarPhoto source: CNG [LINK]
Greek World (Hellenistic/Post-Classical N. Africa). Spain under Carthage, Carthago Nova AR Shekel (Halved, 13 x 22mm, 4.10g, 11h). Second Punic War issue, temp. Barcids, ca. 237-209 BCE.

Prov: Ex B. G. Collection, CNG EA 477 (23 Sep 2020), Lot 1 [LINK]; CNG 88 (14 Sep 2011), Lot 2 [LINK].

Notes: This coin was cut in antiquity with one strike from a narrow chisel to the obverse, then folded until the "halves" separated. Assuming uniform thickness, it represents about 61.5% of the original mass (~6.65g), leaving ~2.55g in the other "half." Coins "sectioned" in antiquity are often described as having been "cut for change," but cut coins are also found in hacksilver hoards that may not rely on currency standards at all. (Including hoards from Spain at this time; e.g., McCabe 2015 [LINK] & van Alfen et al. 2008 [LINK].)

Given the crisis in silver currency supply after Rome regained control of Spain, another interesting prospect is whether it might've been cut for "currency conversion" (i.e., from Punic Shekel to Attic Drachm or Roman Denarius, with the remaining "half" as a lightweight Victoriatus or Hemidrachm). That hypothesis is only speculation, and doesn't seem strongly supported by data from four similar specimens sold by CNG (c. 2011-3), probably part of a hoard (3.09g, 3.51g, 3.93g, and a 5.51g example prepared for sectioning into thirds). Just for fun, though, I've nicknamed this coin the "Hannibal Denarius" (the ID of the male head as Hannibal is highly controversial, to say the least, and debated for more than 50 years).1 commentsCurtis JJ

Notes: Early bare headed Commodus minted under authority of Marcus Aurelius. Ex NGC graded XF. The historical background of this silver denarius presented here and issued in 177/178 AD could be, on the one hand, the victoriously concluded first Marcomannic war, from which Marcus Aurelius and his son returned safe and sound (and through the victory also ensured the well-being of the Roman people) – or also the anticipatory wish for the well-being of the two Augusti. At the end of 177 AD there was another Marcomannic war, so that Marcus Aurelius and his son set out from Rome for the second Germanic or Sarmatian campaign on 03 August 178 AD (Comm. 12, 6) (Comm. 2, 5. Dio LXXI 33, 1. Marc. 27, 9). Here’s to Salus watching over the imperial welfare.
