Copenhagen 1205-1211. Head of Athena right, in
crested Corinthian helmet. Pan advancing right,
erecting trophy of Galatian arms; B-A in upper
field; ANTI monogram beneath Pan. The English word
panic is derived from the Greek deity Pan. It is
said that Pan helped the Macedonian army in the
battle that Antigonos had with the Gauls in 277
B.C. at the "Battle of Lysimacheia" and thus is
shown on his coins erecting a trophy. Antigonos
II, Gonatas was son of Demetrios Poliorketes, and
grandson of Antigonou I. He assumed the title of
king of Macedonia after his father's death in Asia
in B.C. 283, but he did not obtain possession of
the throne until 277 after achieving a notable
victory over the Gallic invaders in Thrace. He was
driven out of his kingdom by Pyrrhos, and again
recovered his dominions. He attempted to prevent
the formation of the Achaean league, and died 239.
His surname Gonatas is usually derived from Gonnos
or Gonni in Thessaly; but some think that Gonatas
is a Macedonian word, signifying an iron plate
protecting the knee. The Macedonian kingdom
prospered again under his long and enlightened
rule.

Concludo
osservando che, per quanto consentito ad una
valutazione a distanza, la moneta di figura
presenta caratteristiche fisiche, generali e di
stile comparabili con quelle delle monete d'epoca
della stessa tipologia. Nel presente stato di
conservazione, il valore venale della moneta
potrebbe, a mio avviso, stimarsi in c. 30€.
Un saluto cordiale.

(2) Zecca macedone, Pella o
Amphipolis, v. mappa.
(3) 277-239 d. C.. Riprendo
dall'
Enciclopedia Treccani on line le note che
seguono: Antìgono Gònata (Gònata o Gonàta, dal greco
"ὁ Γονατᾶς", ginocchio), Re di Macedonia (320-239 a.
C.), figlio di Demetrio Poliorcete e di Fila; alla
morte del padre (283 a. C.) assunse il titolo di re,
ma conseguì il potere effettivo su tutta la
Macedonia solo nel 277 in seguito a una sua grande
vittoria, presso Lisimachia, sui Galli che avevano
invaso la penisola balcanica. Collegato a Sparta,
lottò contro Pirro e lo vinse (274-273); si volse
quindi contro Sparta stessa, l'Egitto e soprattutto
contro Atene nella cosiddetta guerra di Cremonide
(265-261), terminata con la sconfitta d'Atene. Più a
lungo durò la guerra contro l'Egitto, fino alle
vittorie navali di Coo e di Andro (la loro datazione
è dibattuta) che assicurarono ad Antioco il
predominio sull'Egeo. Non riuscì invece nell'altro
suo disegno di assicurarsi l'egemonia sulla Grecia,
perché le leghe etolica ed achea seppero tenergli
testa sino all'ultimo. Amante degli studi, Antioco
protesse i letterati; a lui si deve se la Macedonia
riuscì nuovamente a imporsi come grande potenza.
(4) Realizzati in bronzo, gli
elmi corinzi coprivano completamente la testa e il
collo; le uniche fessure erano per gli occhi e la
bocca, mentre l’interno era imbottito con tessuto o
cuoio. Gli elmi erano essenziali per gli opliti
greci, i famosi fanti delle falangi. In condizioni
di riposo l'elmo corinzio era tirato indietro, come
appare sulla testa di Atena. Atena con elmo corinzio
richiama una tradizione classica della quale i
Macedoni si sentivano parte, al pari dei Greci.
(5) Si dice che Pan aiutasse
l'esercito macedone nella battaglia che Antigono
ebbe con i Galli nel 277 a.C. a Lisimachia e così è
raffigurato su questa moneta mentre erige il trofeo
della vittoria. |
