Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Argos

Struck at Argos during a period when the city was caught between Macedonian ambitions and the Achaean League's shifting allegiances, this issue belongs to the posthumous Alexander coinage that flooded the eastern Mediterranean for well over a century after the king's death in 323 BC. Argos was producing these tetradrachms under Macedonian authority during the reign of Philip V, whose early years saw him consolidate control over much of the Peloponnese through the Social War of 220–217 BC.

Price 727 is a relatively scarce Argive emission within the broader posthumous series.
