| Reversbeschreibung | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned in left profile, nude to the waist with a himation draped over his lower body, his outstretched right hand supporting an eagle and his left hand resting upon a long sceptre. In the left field, a civic monogram of Marathos appears above a palm tree, a distinctive Phoenician civic symbol. A Phoenician date corresponding to year 30 of the local era (circa 230/229 BC) is inscribed in the exergue in Aramaic/Phoenician characters, distinguishing this civic imitative issue from the prototype Alexandrine tetradrachms. |

Marathos, a Phoenician coastal city on the mainland opposite Arados, struck these Alexander-type tetradrachms under its own authority during a period when Aradian commercial dominance made currency conformity commercially necessary. The city was eventually razed by Arados around 148 BC, making its independent coinage issues confined to a relatively narrow window.
Price 3452 places this emission within a well-documented sequence of posthumous Alexander imitations produced by Phoenician civic mints. The Marathene issues are distinguished by control marks that separate them from the vast Aradian output of the same type.
