| Additional information |
Philip III Arrhidaios ruled Macedonia in name only — intellectually disabled and entirely managed by regents, he was the half-brother of Alexander the Great installed as a compromise figurehead following Alexander's death in 323 BC. The coinage issued under his name continued Alexander's established types without modification, a deliberate political signal that the empire's monetary apparatus remained unbroken. His reign ended when Olympias had him executed in 317 BC, after which his widow Eurydice was forced to dig his grave herself.
