| Aanvullende informatie |
Andriscus — a man of obscure origin who claimed to be the son of Perseus, last Macedonian king — seized control of Macedonia in 149 BC and briefly reconstituted the kingdom Rome had dissolved after Pydna in 168 BC. His reign lasted barely a year before the Roman general Quintus Caecilius Metellus crushed him at the Battle of Pydna II in 148 BC. Metellus earned the cognomen "Macedonicus" for the victory.
Rome's response was immediate and permanent: Macedonia became a Roman province that same year, making this drachm among the last coins struck under independent Macedonian royal authority.
