Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III

Perge's late Hellenistic Alexander-type tetradrachms occupy an awkward chronological position: struck well over a century after Alexander's death, they were produced not to honor the conqueror but because the Alexandrine type had become the default commercial currency of the eastern Mediterranean, trusted by merchants from Anatolia to the Levant regardless of who actually struck it. The city issued these under its own civic authority during a period when Pamphylia was cycling between Seleucid and Ptolemaic influence following the fragmentation of Antigonus's sphere.

Colin Perge#19 is among the better-documented die groupings for this mint. The 203–202 BC window corresponds closely to the run-up to the Battle of Panium.
