Stateri di Alessandro Magno coniati ad Anfipoli sotto Antipatro

[apollonia]

Salve.

Antipatro (397 a. C. – 319 a. C.) è stato un ufficiale prima di Filippo II e poi di Alessandro Magno che lo aveva incaricato di sostituirlo al governo della Macedonia quando lui era impegnato nella spedizione in Asia. Dopo la morte di Alessandro nel 323 a. C. fu confermata ad Antipatro la luogotenenza nel regno di Macedonia e le coniazioni d’oro emesse nel periodo in cui era al governo, all’incirca tra il 330 a. C. e il 320 a. C., sono riunite dal Price nel capitolo “Macedonian Gold” del primo volume della sua opera principale sulla monetazione in nome di Alessandro il Grande e Filippo Arrideo. Le monete catalogate da Price 163 a Price 184 comprendono distateri, frazioni di statere e 14 stateri di tipo Testa di Atena con elmo corinzio/Nike con ghirlanda e stylis che differiscono per i simboli o per la disposizione degli stessi simboli sul rovescio.

Questi stateri comparsi nelle aste sono stati spesso classificati erroneamente e quindi ho pensato di descriverli in questa discussione assegnando le corrette attribuzioni ove fosse il caso.

Notare che il periodo di coniatura degli stateri va da circa il 325 a. C. a circa il 319 a. C., e poiché Alessandro è morto a Babilonia nel luglio del 323 a. C., queste emissioni sono al limite tra le coeve e le postume.
