New Evidence for the Western Asia Minor Origin of the Macedonian Royal Bronze Issue Price P2 from Nif Olympos Excavations
Öz
The subject of this article is the Macedonian royal
bronze coins which carry the head of Herakles on the obverse side and a
horseman with the legends ΦΙ ΒΑ on the reverse. These coins were minted during
the reign of Philip III Arrhidaios, between 323–317 B.C. Although it is almost
certain that these coins originated in Asia Minor due to the examples found in
the course of the Sardeis excavations, they are listed under the title of
Macedonia in the major coin catalogues. Further examples of these coins, which
have been evaluated under the title “Uncertain Asia Minor” only in the
Winterthur Collection, were found on Mount Nif to the east of Izmir. Indeed,
one example found in the archaeological excavations of the Necropolis of
Karamattepe in the south of the mountain and another, found on the surface of
Mount Nif and transferred to the Izmir Archaeological Museum together with four
others in the museum’s collection show these coins are of Asia Minor origin.
