Stater - Philip III Arrhidaeus Sardes

正面描述	Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered with fine Hellenistic artistry. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, adorned with an elaborate crested plume and a decorative scrolling coil above the ear. Flowing locks of hair emerge from beneath the helmet and cascade along the neck, adding a sense of naturalistic vitality to the portrait. The facial features are finely modeled, with a straight nose and well-defined lips characteristic of the Macedonian die-engraving tradition. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription.

附加信息	Philip III Arrhidaeus was Alexander the Great's half-brother — intellectually disabled, likely from a poisoning attempt in childhood — installed as king by the Macedonian infantry faction immediately after Alexander's death in 323 BC as a counterweight to the infant Alexander IV. He never exercised real power; Perdiccas, then Antipater, then Polyperchon governed through him. The Sardes mint, freshly inherited from the Achaemenid treasury infrastructure, continued striking gold staters under his name using types derived directly from Alexander's coinage. Philip III was murdered on Olympias's orders in 319 BC, making this a four-year issue at most.
