| Lot description: Ancients MACEDON UNDER ROME. First Meris. Ca. 167-148 BC. AR tetradrachm (31mm, 16.99 gm, 8h). NGC Choice AU 5/5 - 4/5. Ca. 158-150 BC. Bust of Artemis right, wearing stephane, bow and capped quiver over shoulder; all within circle of dots in tondo of Macedonian shield / MAKEΔONΩN / ΠPΩTHΣ, horizontal club, AP monogram above, all within oak wreath facing right, thunderbolt in outer left field. SNG Copenhagen 1310-1311. HGC 3.1, 1103. Striking representation of Artemis accompanied by artfully rendered ornaments and symbols. In the 2nd century BC, Rome's involvement in the Hellenistic world led to the conquest of Macedon. The defeat of King Philip V in 197 BC during the Second Macedonian War resulted in financial penalties and territorial loss for Macedon. In 168 BC, following the Roman victory at the Battle of Pydna, Macedon was officially incorporated as the Roman province of Macedonia, ending its independence. Roman rule brought significant administrative changes, including the appointment of proconsuls as governors and the introduction of Roman legal systems, taxation, language, and infrastructure, reshaping Macedon's governance and aligning it with Roman norms. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/greek/ancients-macedon-under-rome-first-meris-ca-167-148-bc-ar-tetradrachm-31mm-1699-gm-8h-ngc-choice-au-5-5-4-/a/61365-22245.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61365-03102024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
