Estimate: 100 USD. Price realized: 220 USD.

KINGS of MACEDON. Antigonos II Gonatas. 277/6-239 BC. Æ Unit (18.5mm, 4.33 g, 8h). Uncertain mint in Macedon. Helmeted head of Athena right / Pan right, erecting trophy to right; B-A across upper field, monogram of Antigonos between legs, Macedonian helmet to outer left, wreath to outer right.

From the Belgica Collection. Ex G. Hirsch 249 (7 February 2007), lot 1327.

I bronzi Atena/Pan sono tradizionalmente attribuiti ad Antigono II Gonata, ma i dati più recenti sui ritrovamenti suggeriscono fortemente che questa monetazione, pur essendo iniziata sotto quel re, fu probabilmente continuata dai suoi successori, Demetrio II e Antigono III Dosone. Lo studio di Furtwängler su questo periodo colloca la presente emissione sotto Antigono Dosone.

Dopo la sconfitta di Filippo V e l'annessione del regno macedone come provincia romana, i Tessali hanno contromarcato le monete di bronzo degli ex re macedoni per ricontrattarle e continuare a usarle all'interno del loro regno. Questa moneta di Antigono II sembra avere una contromarca con una civetta con le zampe e la parte inferiore del corpo chiare.

Durante il IV e il III secolo a. C. l'Europa centrale e orientale era instabile, forse a causa di eventi climatici. I popoli celtici che vi abitavano iniziarono a spingersi verso sud. Roma fu saccheggiata nel 390 e all'inizio del III secolo le tribù celtiche si spinsero in Grecia e in Asia Minore. Delfi fu attaccata nel 279, così come Lisimachia due anni dopo. Giustino racconta che Antigono Gonata annientò l'esercito celtico utilizzando un esercito di “elefanti, furie e fantasmi” (Giustino 26:2).

Nel 276 a. C. Antigono assunse circa 7500 Galli, sotto il capo Biderius, per aiutarlo nella sua campagna contro Antipatro Etesias, nipote di Cassandro. Secondo Polieno questi mercenari costarono ad Antigono trenta talenti. Per pagare questa ingente spesa Antigono coniò stateri a nome di Alessandro e una piccola emissione a proprio nome. Questa moneta è uno dei pochi esemplari sopravvissuti; Matheson è riuscito a localizzare solo cinque esemplari, tutti oggi in collezioni museali (citati sopra tranne l'esemplare di Vienna).
