| Aanvullende informatie |
Perseus was the last king of Macedon, and these tetradrachms were struck in the final years before Rome dismantled the kingdom entirely at Pydna in 168 BC. The three-year window of this issue corresponds almost exactly to the buildup toward that war — Rome had already delivered its ultimatum, and Perseus was simultaneously negotiating alliances and minting heavily, likely to fund mercenaries and subsidize potential allies who largely failed to materialize when fighting actually began.
The attribution to either Pella or Amphipolis reflects a genuine scholarly dispute that SNG Copenhagen and Mamroth resolve differently. Amphipolis became the dominant mint after Pydna, which complicates retroactive die studies.
