Alexander III the Great | AR Tetradrachm | Posthumous Issue Struck Under Peithon and Antigonos I Reference: Price 3734 Date: 315-311 BCE Obverse: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion’s skin. Reverse: BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ; Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; monogram in wreath in left field, monogram below throne. Mint: Babylon, Mesopotamia Size: 25.8 mm Weight: 16.96 grams Struck under Peithon and Antigonos I Monophthalmos in the city of Alexander’s death. Antigonos I Monophthalmos ( “the One-Eyed”) was one of Alexander the Great’s infantry generals. Very well struck in typical high relief with flow lines easily visible on the obverse. After serving with Alexander’s father Philip II (also a “One-Eyed”), Antigonos was placed in charge of a large contingent of 7,000 allied Greek infantry in the army of Alexander the Great. He invaded Persian territory with Alexander and was appointed satrap of Phrygia soon after Alexander pushed through eastern and central Anatolia. Upon Alexander’s death, Antigonos Monophthalmos was perhaps the most powerful of the Diadochii (save perhaps Perdikkas). Having been entrusted with overseeing the Macedonian rule in Asia Minor, Antigonos was left in control of vast resources that enabled him to persevere through the wars of the Diadochii. At the height of his power, his territories stretched from the Hellespont to Babylon. While his military prowess was keen, so too were his diplomatic skills. In fact, it was his skill of using the other Diadochs against one another that was more attributable to his success in building his domains than his military victories. By 306 BC, Antigonos was so certain of his dominance that he proclaimed himself king; the first of the Diadochii to do so. It was this event, which he thought to be his triumphant moment, that proved his undoing. From that moment, the other Diadochii clearly saw Antigonos and his son, Demetrios Poliorketes, as their primary opponent. Putting aside their differences for the first time, all the other Diadochs – Ptolemy, Seleukos, and Kassander – joined forces against Antigonos. For a year the allies pressured the Antigonid forces around the Aegaean. Finally, at the battle of Ipsos in 301 BC, Antigonos was defeated by the combined forces of Seleukos and Lysimachos. Antigonos was killed in the battle, but Demetrios was able to escape and continue fighting the others for years, but he never regained the sizeable territory that his father had once ruled.
