Date Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis Thesis Advisor Date Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis Executive Officer THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii Abstract The Iconography of the Gold and Silver Coinage of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great by Nisha Nalini Ramracha Advisor: Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis The history of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great has been tremendously studied through ancient sources and archaeology. One approach has been through numismatics: a comprehensive study of currency in the form of coins and additional media for transactions, trade, payment and otherwise. This form of research gives scholars an economic perspective on the lives and campaigns of these renowned Macedonian Argead kings through statistical calculations in the form of weights, di-axes, ascertaining inauguration dates as well as appraisal of metals such as gold, silver and bronze in ancient economies, and deducing the locations of mints and various other forms of data. While significant amounts of information can be gathered from such computations concerning coinage, the iconography comprises the preponderance of what constitutes a coin. This thesis aims to analyze the iconography found on the gold and silver coinage of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great. The thesis begins with a brief history of the previous Argead iv dynasty, Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great, the commencement of coinage in Asia Minor as well as early Greek and Macedonian coinage. This will be accompanied by pertinent mythology, a description of the coinage and relevant terminology. Subsequently, are the arguments concerning the historical origins and dates of the iconography followed by an examination of the meanings behind the symbolism chosen for the gold and silver coinage of two of Philip and Alexander’s widely studied denominations: silver tetradrachms and gold staters. An important part of this analysis will be to determine what messages Philip and Alexander wanted to convey by selecting such iconography for their coinage which can hypothesize about their history, motives, beliefs, successes and the particular origins of the imagery they choose for their coinage. Iconography on the coinage may even reveal more about Philip and Alexander’s personalities and their relationship with each other since these minute works of art were approved by the kings during their lifetimes. These investigations summarized at the conclusion of this thesis intend to postulate a range of themes that can be drawn from comparing the iconography selected by both Philip and Alexander and their merit to future scholars. v Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Professor Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis for the knowledge she has imparted to me in Classical Archaeology during my graduate degree, for her guidance throughout my MA thesis, and for her assistance in pursuing my internship at the American Numismatic Society (A.N.S.) which lead to the research examined in this thesis. She was instrumental in initiating the first internship class which proved an indispensable asset to my numismatic education. I am also indebted to the faculty and staff at the A.N.S including Executive Director, Dr. Ute Wartenberg-Kagan, for allowing me to volunteer and intern since 2017 at such a wonderful environment where I could explore my classical numismatic interests. I must thank Deputy Director, Dr. Gilles Bransbourg for his initial help as well as the guidance of Dr. Elena Stolyarik, Disnarda Pinilla-Bell and Dr. David Yoon. I am thankful to all the resources the ANS provides such as MANTIS and PELLA (an online resource of the Argead kings of Macedonia). I am especially appreciative of my supervisor Dr. Peter Van Alfen, the Chief Curator and Greek chair, who taught me the fundamentals of numismatics since 2017. Dr. Van Alfen also introduced me to my first collection of gold and silver coinage of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great. He gave me a chance to go from volunteer to intern, an opportunity to take part in the Summer Graduate Numismatic Seminar and continues to be a great mentor in the numismatic field. I would love to thank the Altfest Graduate Fellowship for the scholarship I received in summer 2018 which made this research possible through an internship at the A.N.S. as well as the City University of New York (C.U.N.Y.) for a second fellowship provided by the M.A.L.S. Liberal Studies department to advance my numismatics research in 2018/2019. I must thank all my friends and peers for their time and support listening to my stories of vi archaeology, adventure and Alexander. I would also like to thank the Ramracha family: my elder sister Tara, who helped sponsor my education and first archaeological dig in Europe at Halmyris, Romania; my younger sister Lydia and my mom, Jamuni, who gave me unwavering support throughout my years of study and graduate work. My aunt Radicka, uncle Rennie and unquestionably uncle Vassan Ramracha for his additional advice and instruction towards my endeavors in the study of history. Thanks are in order to little Vishnu Rajvir Alexander Singh-Ramracha II for his daily inspiration. Finally, I want to convey my deepest gratitude to my father Suresh Vishnu Ramracha without whom none of this would be possible. He encouraged me to study in the United States, nurtured all my dreams, encouraged every idea, inspired me to strive for the best with his own accomplishments, imparted an education at home, financed my initiatives, gave me my first lessons in history, found the time to watch every documentary I wanted and bought every book my heart desired. vii Table of Contents Title Page ............................................................................................................................................. i Copyright Page ................................................................................................................................... ii Approval Page ................................................................................................................................... iii Thesis Abstract .................................................................................................................................. iv Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................................... vi Table of Contents............................................................................................................................. viii List of Figures ..................................................................................................................................... x Introduction ........................................................................................................................................ 1 Chapter 1: A Brief History of the Argead Dynasty, Philip II of Macedon Alexander the Great ....... 7 A Brief History of the Argead Dynasty .......................................................................................... 7 Philip II of Macedon ....................................................................................................................... 8 Alexander ...................................................................................................................................... 11 Chapter 2: The Beginnings of Numismatics, Greek Coinage, and Macedonian Coinage ................ 15 The Beginnings of Numismatics ................................................................................................... 15 Greek Coinage .............................................................................................................................. 18 Macedonian Coinage .................................................................................................................... 20 Chapter 3: Iconographic Analysis of the Gold and Silver Coinage of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great .......................................................................................................................... 23 Mythology ..................................................................................................................................... 24 Zeus ..........................................................................................................................................

  • Alexander the Great and Hephaestion
    2019-3337-AJHIS-HIS 1 Alexander the Great and Hephaestion: 2 Censorship and Bisexual Erasure in Post-Macedonian 3 Society 4 5 6 Same-sex relations were common in ancient Greece and having both male and female 7 physical relationships was a cultural norm. However, Alexander the Great is almost 8 always portrayed in modern depictions as heterosexual, and the disappearance of his 9 life-partner Hephaestion is all but complete in ancient literature. Five full primary 10 source biographies of Alexander have survived from antiquity, making it possible to 11 observe the way scholars, popular writers and filmmakers from the Victorian era 12 forward have interpreted this evidence. This research borrows an approach from 13 gender studies, using the phenomenon of bisexual erasure to contribute a new 14 understanding for missing information regarding the relationship between Alexander 15 and his life-partner Hephaestion. In Greek and Macedonian society, pederasty was the 16 norm, and boys and men did not have relations with others of the same age because 17 there was almost always a financial and power difference. Hephaestion was taller and 18 more handsome than Alexander, so it might have appeared that he held the power in 19 their relationship. The hypothesis put forward here suggests that writers have erased 20 the sexual partnership between Alexander and Hephaestion because their relationship 21 did not fit the norm of acceptable pederasty as practiced in Greek and Macedonian 22 culture or was no longer socially acceptable in the Roman contexts of the ancient 23 historians. Ancient biographers may have conducted censorship to conceal any 24 implication of femininity or submissiveness in this relationship.

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • Alexander's Seventh Phalanx Battalion Milns, R D Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1966; 7, 2; Proquest Pg
    Alexander's Seventh Phalanx Battalion Milns, R D Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Summer 1966; 7, 2; ProQuest pg. 159 Alexander's Seventh Phalanx Battalion R. D. Milns SOME TIME between the battle of Gaugamela and the battle of A the Hydaspes the number of battalions in the Macedonian phalanx was raised from six to seven.1 This much is clear; what is not certain is when the new formation came into being. Berve2 believes that the introduction took place at Susa in 331 B.C. He bases his belief on two facts: (a) the arrival of 6,000 Macedonian infantry and 500 Macedonian cavalry under Amyntas, son of Andromenes, when the King was either near or at Susa;3 (b) the appearance of Philotas (not the son of Parmenion) as a battalion leader shortly afterwards at the Persian Gates.4 Tarn, in his discussion of the phalanx,5 believes that the seventh battalion was not created until 328/7, when Alexander was at Bactra, the new battalion being that of Cleitus "the White".6 Berve is re­ jected on the grounds: (a) that Arrian (3.16.11) says that Amyntas' reinforcements were "inserted into the existing (six) battalions KC1:TCt. e8vr(; (b) that Philotas has in fact taken over the command of Perdiccas' battalion, Perdiccas having been "promoted to the Staff ... doubtless after the battle" (i.e. Gaugamela).7 The seventh battalion was formed, he believes, from reinforcements from Macedonia who reached Alexander at Nautaca.8 Now all of Tarn's arguments are open to objection; and I shall treat them in the order they are presented above.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

  • Euripides” Johanna Hanink
    The Life of the Author in the Letters of “Euripides” Johanna Hanink N 1694, Joshua Barnes, the eccentric British scholar (and poet) of Greek who the next year would become Regius Professor at the University of Cambridge, published his I 1 long-awaited Euripidis quae extant omnia. This was an enormous edition of Euripides’ works which contained every scrap of Euripidean material—dramatic, fragmentary, and biographical —that Barnes had managed to unearth.2 In the course of pre- paring the volume, Barnes had got wind that Richard Bentley believed that the epistles attributed by many ancient manu- scripts to Euripides were spurious; he therefore wrote to Bentley asking him to elucidate the grounds of his doubt. On 22 February 1693, Bentley returned a letter to Barnes in which he firmly declared that, with regard to the ancient epistles, “tis not Euripides himself that here discourseth, but a puny sophist that acts him.” Bentley did, however, recognize that convincing others of this would be a difficult task: “as for arguments to prove [the letters] spurious, perhaps there are none that will convince any person that doth not discover it by himself.”3 1 On the printing of the book and its early distribution see D. McKitterick, A History of Cambridge University Press I Printing and the Book Trade in Cambridge, 1534–1698 (Cambridge 1992) 380–392; on Joshua Barnes see K. L. Haugen, ODNB 3 (2004) 998–1001. 2 C. Collard, Tragedy, Euripides and Euripideans (Bristol 2007) 199–204, re- hearses a number of criticisms of Barnes’ methods, especially concerning his presentation of Euripidean fragments (for which he often gave no source, and which occasionally consisted of lines from the extant plays).

  • Queen Arsinoë II, the Maritime Aphrodite and Early Ptolemaic Ruler Cult
    ΑΡΣΙΝΟΗ ΕΥΠΛΟΙΑ Queen Arsinoë II, the Maritime Aphrodite and Early Ptolemaic Ruler Cult Carlos Francis Robinson Bachelor of Arts (Hons. 1) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Queen Arsinoë II, the Maritime Aphrodite and Early Ptolemaic Ruler Cult By the early Hellenistic period a trend was emerging in which royal women were deified as Aphrodite. In a unique innovation, Queen Arsinoë II of Egypt (c. 316 – 270 BC) was deified as the maritime Aphrodite, and was associated with the cult titles Euploia, Akraia, and Galenaië. It was the important study of Robert (1966) which identified that the poets Posidippus and Callimachus were honouring Arsinoë II as the maritime Aphrodite. This thesis examines how this new third-century BC cult of ‘Arsinoë Aphrodite’ adopted aspects of Greek cults of the maritime Aphrodite, creating a new derivative cult. The main historical sources for this cult are the epigrams of Posidippus and Callimachus, including a relatively new epigram (Posidippus AB 39) published in 2001. This thesis demonstrates that the new cult of Arsinoë Aphrodite utilised existing traditions, such as: Aphrodite’s role as patron of fleets, the practice of dedications to Aphrodite by admirals, the use of invocations before sailing, and the practice of marine dedications such as shells. In this way the Ptolemies incorporated existing religious traditions into a new form of ruler cult. This study is the first attempt to trace the direct relationship between Ptolemaic ruler cult and existing traditions of the maritime Aphrodite, and deepens our understanding of the strategies of ruler cult adopted in the early Hellenistic period.
