Commentary


Ce type avec le B inversé semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Seul le troisième groupe recèle cette variété. Le monnayage d’Aesillas semble beaucoup plus complexe que la vision que nous en avions encore dans un passé récent.

Historical background


MACEDONIA - MACEDONIAN PROVINCE - THESSALONIKI

(168-49 BC)

After the capture of Perseus at Pydna in 168 BC by Paul-Émile, Greece was separated into four republics. Thessaloniki received its name in honor of Cassandra's wife in 315 BC. The city was the capital of the second republic. After Andriscus' revolt, Macedonia was heavily taxed and treated as a conquered province. Under the Empire, it became a senatorial province.
