KINGDOM OF MACEDONIA - ALEXANDER III THE GREAT, 336-323 BC - TROAS - AR Drachm, Abydos, circa 310-301 BC
weight 4,04gr. ; silver Ø 18mm.
obv. Head of young Herakles right, wearing lion′s skin headdress
rev. Zeus enthroned left, holding eagle and scepter, legs crossed,
MI-monogram in left field, Ξ beneath throne, AΛEΞANΔPOY on right side
This civic drachm in name of the deitified Alexander the Great, was most likely minted at the time that Abydos was under control of Antigonus I Monophthalmus. In 302 BC the city was unsuccessfully besieged by Lysimachos. In 301 BC the armies of Antigonos and Demetrios Poliorketes were defeated by the united forces of Seleucus, Lysimachus and Prepelaos at the decisive Battle of Ipsus. Antigonus died in the battle after being struck by a javelin, in the eighty-first year of his life. Prior to Ipsus, he had never lost a battle. With his death, any plans for reuniting Alexander′s empire came to an end. Antigonus′ kingdom was divided up, with most of his territories ending up in the hands of the new kingdoms ruled by Lysimachus and Seleucus. Troas, with also the city of Abydos, came under control of Lysimachos.

weight 5,27gr. ; bronze Ø 21mm.
obv. Radiated bust right, wearing paludamentum and cuirass A K M A ΓOPΔIANOC
rev. Artemis Anaitis standing right, flanked by two lions ATTOΔEΩN
The old city of Attuda was a border city in ancient times between Caria and Phrygia. Nowadays situated near Hisarköy, 17 km southwest of Denizli-Sarayköy Town. The shortest route from Tripolis and Laodicea to Aphrodisias passed through Attuda. The date of the founding of the city is unknown, but it is estimated that the city was founded in the Hellenistic Era like the other cities in the Lycus Valley. The city had a role in bonding the cities in Lycus Valley to Aphrodisias in art and economy. Ancient sources state that there was a statue of a God called Men mounted on a horse in a temple which was built in his honor. It′s also written in ancient sources that statues of Zeus, Apollon, Dionysos, Asklepios and the cult of Artemis Anaitis are also in Attuda.
