Public Commentary

Selene Psoma (2008, p. 213-215) attributes this coin to a military issue of Agathocles, son of Lysimachus, during his reign over the city of Maroneia, where 9 specimens of this type were found during excavations. It is also suggested that the city was named Agathocleia during this period, and renamed Maroneia after the death of Agathocles 282 BC.
