MACEDON UNDER ROMAN RULE, Amphipolis. 158-149 BC. Silver Tetradrachm (14.85g). Macedonian shield, at centre of which is a bust of Artemis Tauropolos right, with bow and quiver at her shoulder / MAKEDONON PROTES in two lines, club between, HP monogram above, ANK monogram below, all within oak wreath, to left of which a thunderbolt. S. 1386; AMNG 165 (p. 55, 4 only noted); Hunter 3 (p. 179); Mionnet Vol. I, No. 58 (p. 456). Very rare variety. Obverse slightly off centre, otherwise gVF with an amazing old cabinet toning. This tetradrachm was struck at Amphipolis in Macedon between 158 and 149 BC, during the early phase of Roman control. With Artemis Tauropolos on the obverse and the Macedonian club in oak wreath on the reverse, it neatly captures the blend of traditional Macedonian identity and the new Roman order in the region.
