Aanvullende informatie

Lysimachus — one of Alexander's bodyguards and ultimately king of Thrace, Asia Minor, and Macedon — used Alexander's deified image on his coinage as a deliberate political instrument, projecting legitimacy through association with his former commander rather than his own authority. These tetradrachms were struck at Herakleia Pontika, a mint city on the Black Sea coast that Lysimachus absorbed into his kingdom around 302 BC after the defeat of Antigonus at Ipsus. The Herakleia mint was prolific in his final years.

Lysimachus died at the Battle of Corupedium in 281 BC, fighting Seleucus I — the last surviving Diadoch to have known Alexander personally killing another.
