Vowing he would fight on behalf of the god, whose sacred Treasury at Delphi had been stolen, precipitating the conflict, he used the war as an opportunity to expand his control in Greece. The rider on the reverse, similar to the reverse of his tetradrachms, ostensibly extolls his victory in the horse race at Olympia in 356 BC. However, the reverse also recalls the earlier Macedonian royal types, possibly an attempt to emphasize his Macedonian ancestry.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">(Taken from CNG)<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\">______________________________<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kings of Macedon, Philip II, AE17, circa -359 to -336, uncertain mint in Macedon SNG Alpha Bank 426.
