History of money
Alexander the Great's coinage, particularly the silver drachma, played a significant role in spreading his image and influence throughout his vast empire. Coins often depicted Alexander with a lion's scalp, symbolizing his strength and heroic achievements. Succeeding his father, King Philip II, at just 20 years old, Alexander led Macedonia to unprecedented victories, conquering Persia, Egypt, the Middle East, and parts of Afghanistan and India. In addition to expanding his dominion, he aimed to unify the diverse cultures of his empire, promoting the Hellenistic Age, a period marked by significant achievements in art, literature, science, and numismatics.
The drachma coins depicted Alexander as Heracles (Hercules to the Romans), wearing a lion's scalp, symbolizing the hero's slaying of the Nemean lion, the first of the 12 labors. The reverse depicted Zeus, the supreme Greek god, sitting on a decorated throne, holding a scepter and an eagle, symbolizing divine strength and authority. The inscription “ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ” (of King Alexander) strengthened Alexander's divine association and legitimized his rule. These coins not only facilitated economic unity, but also served as powerful propaganda, promoting his image throughout the ancient world.
The Alexander the Great Necklace is a tangible piece of history, offering a glimpse into Alexander's life, power and legacy. It serves as a portal to the origins of civilization, showing how the past informs the present and future.
The necklace was donated by DUBINI.
