| Reverse description | Standing figure of Alexander the Great facing, with head turned to the right, depicted heroically holding a long spear in his left hand and a parazonium (short sword) in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a commanding, quasi-divine posture befitting the Macedonian Koinon's reverential treatment of its legendary founder. The encircling Greek legend ΚΟΙΝΟΝ ΜΑΚЄΔΟΝΩΝ ΝЄΩ identifies the issuing body and the honorific epithet. The composition reflects the propagandistic use of Alexander's image under Severus Alexander's reign. |
