CERTIFIED ANCIENT GOLD
PHILIP II AND THE RISE OF
THE MACEDONIAN KINGDOM
Ancient Macedonia prospered on the fringe of the classical civilization
epitomized by the Greek city-states. The monarchy of Macedonia was of
Greek descent, and Philip II, ruler from 359 to 336 BC was determined to
bring his kingdom into the mainstream of an unified Hellenistic civilization
under his leadership. He employed great thinkers at his court like Aristotle to
tutor his young son, Alexander, later known as "the Great." His first expansions
absorbed neighboring Thessaly and Thrace, whose rich mineral wealth
proved to be the paymaster to finance his professional armies.
The gold mines of Mount Pangaeum in Thrace yielded about 1,000 talents,
or 75,000 pounds a year. Philip, a military genius, led his own troops into
battle. Amazingly he survived an arrow that blinded him in one eye. The
Macedonian phalanx, his "secret weapon," was sectioned into a 16 man by 16
man square of armored foot soldiers, bristling with their 14 foot long spears.
The first five ranks leveled their spears to attack the front, and the ranks
behind rested their lances skyward on the soldiers in front to provide a barrier
against arrows. These squares of weaponry could be deployed with infinite
variety depending on the terrain and the opposing forces.
Philip's loss of an eye, according to Plutarch, the ancient historian, was
foretold by the oracle of Apollo at Delphi. Philip had looked through a
peephole into his wife's, Olympias', bedchamber, and saw her cavorting with
the god Ammon, who had assumed the form of a serpent. Further legend
claims that Alexander himself was the offspring of this union. But the oracle
warned that Philip's eye which viewed this god's visitation would be lost to
him. Plutarch speculates that Philip lost interest in Olympias after that, and
although he was proud of Alexander as his son; the bitter seeds of discontent
had been sown.
Philip, also an adept diplomat and schemer, employed various means to
advance his political ambitions. He formed alliances by marriage, (he had at
least six wives at different times.). He helped provoke and aggravate the
traditional rivalries amongst the Greek city-states. His gold was useful in
bribing the disaffected elements of these southern cities. The Greeks of
Athens, Corinth, Thebes, Sparta and the other city-states certainly had not
forgotten the Persianthreat from Asia Minor, and many Greeks, led by
Isocrates of Athens, saw Philip more as an ally than an enemy. In a display for
potential unification, Philip presided over the games in 346 B.C. at the
Panhellenic sanctuary at Delphi, sacred to Apollo. Philip himself was a victor in
the chariot race of the Olympic games. Demosthenes of Athens, one of the
most famous orators of all time, railed effectively against Philip and his
ambitions, so when Philip moved aggressively into Greece, Athens and
Thebes fields an army to oppose him. Too little and too late, the Greek
resistance to the Macedonians met with complete defeat at Chaeronea in 338
B.C. Philip's treaty with Thebes was harsh, but he treated Athens quite easily,
apparently out of sentiment and his respect for this center of Greek culture.
Philip's life of conquest was cut short by an assassin's blade, for in 336 B.C.
he was murdered at a wedding feast. He had been preparing to invade the
Persian empire, so possibly agents of the Great King organized the plot.
Plutarch believes that Olympias, an ex-wife and mother of Alexander the
Great, was the mastermind, and friends of Alexander that Philip and his
current wife had mistreated were the perpetrators. Plutarch also describes
another drunken feast during which Philip and Alexander exchange angry
words, Philip came close to attacking Alexander. Whoever the instigator,
Alexander was the beneficiary. At the age of 20 Alexander ascended to the
Macedonian throne and began his lifelong conquest of the known world.
The coinages in the name of Philip II were vast, and are an amazing boon
to modern collectors, since large numbers have survived in hoards. His
territories covered many prosperous territories and city states and their busy
economies required large quantities of coins. The name and coin designs of
Philip continued to be struck for 40 years after his death, partly to honor his
achievements, and partly to maintain needed coinages on the Macedonian
weight standard for those regions. Perhaps the minting of Philip's Gold Staters
alongside the Alexander's Gold Staters celebrated Philip's victories as well as
paid the ongoing expenses of his planned attack on the Persian empire. The
Gold Staters of Philip were the same 8.6 gram pure gold standard as
Alexander's.

laureate head of Apollo engraved in fine style High Relief. Philip identified with
