"The most striking new feature of Hellenistic coins was the use of portraits of living people, namely of the kings themselves. This practice had begun in Sicily, but was disapproved of by other Greeks as showing hubris (pride). But the kings of Ptolemaic Egypt and Seleucid Syria had no such scruples, and issued magnificent gold coins adorned with their own portraits, ...
...with the symbols of their state on the reverse. The names of the kings were frequently inscribed on the coin as well. This established a pattern for coins which has persisted ever since: a portrait of the king, usually in profile and striking a heroic pose, on the obverse, with his name beside him, and a coat of arms or other symbol of state on the reverse. "
"Ever wonder why our coins today look the way they do? How the basis for the decoration of coins developed? Today, most bills and coins alike share the common pattern of depicting the profile or bust of a ruler on the obverse, while the reverse bears the image of an important civic symbol - be it a building or an animal. ..
.... This tradition began with the ancient Greeks.
From about the eighth century B.C. and even after the Greeks were absorbed into the kingdoms of Alexander the Great and his successors, the Greek world was characterized by the polis, the city-state, of which there were several hundred. Each polis consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside, and each had its own form of government, its own patron deities and heroes and sanctuaries dedicated to them, and its own distinctive economy. ..."
..."Before long drachmas were being minted at Greek settlements in southern Italy, with the result that the Romans switched from using bronze bars to coins in about 300 BC. And at roughly the same time Philip of Macedonia and his son Alexander the Great were producing huge quantities of coins to finance their military conquests."
AMPHICTYONY, also spelled amphictiony (from Greek amphiktyones, “dwellers around”), in ancient Greece, association of neighbouring states formed around a religious centre. The most important was the Amphictyonic League (Delphic Amphictyony). Originally composed of 12 tribes dwelling around Thermopylae, the league was centred first on the shrine of Demeter and later became associated with the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. ...
Member states sent two kinds of deputies (pylagorai and hieromnēmones) to a council (pylaia) that met twice a year and administered the temporal affairs of the shrines and their properties, supervised the treasury, and conducted the Pythian Games. In the 4th century bc the league rebuilt the Delphic temple. Although primarily religious, the league exercised a political influence through its membership oath, forbidding destruction of member cities or the cutting off of water supplies; ...
...the hieromnēmones could punish offenders and even proclaim a sacred war against them. Other important amphictyonies were the Delian and, in the Archaic period, the Calaurian (composed of states around the Saronic Gulf).
Philip himself at the age of fifteen he was sent at Thebes, the leading city (with Athens) of this decade (370-360 BC), where the great Pelopidas and Epaminondas, the most inventive tacticians of all Greek generals until then, were in charge of the best army in Greece. These were probably the most formative years of Philip's education. When he returned to Macedonia his brother Perdiccas soon found him ready for a command.
Archelaos I, a man of culture himself, the king entertained in his new palace at Pella, to where he had transferred the capital from Aigai, poets and tragedians, and even the great Euripides, who wrote his tragedies Archelaos and The Bacchae there; he invited brilliant painters - the name of Zeuxis is mentioned - and at Dion in Pieria, the Olympia of Macedonia, he founded the "Olympia", ...
...a religious festival with musical and athletic competitions in honor of Olympian Zeus and the Muses. By 399 BC, the year in which he was murdered, Archelaos I had succeeded in converting Macedonia into one of the strongest Greek powers of his period.
Under Alexander I, the independent Macedonian principalities of west and north Macedonia were united around the central authority, recognizing the primacy of the Temenids king. The entry of the state into the history of southern Greece was sealed by the acceptance of Alexander I by the hellanodikai as a competitor in the Olympic games (probably those of 496 BC), in which, as we know, only Greeks were allowed to participate.
According to Herodotus, Alexander I, the Philhellene, contributed to the defeat of the Persian forces of Xerxes and Mardonios, giving information to the Athenians and telling them that "I am Greek and I dont want to see the Greeks enslaved".
First let me say that I have nothing personally against the greeks.
It gives me great pleasure to know one exchanges the least of the Greeks, without having to offend.
I have nothing against the Greek history, I respect them.
What I want is to know since when there is the Greek state as a unit?? and what evidence is there for this?? Why are there no ancient coins with the words:HELLAS,GREEK or ELLADA ???
Alexander the Great was borne on July 22, 356 B.C. and died on June 13, 323 B.C. From his mother Olympias, Alexander’s root reached the proud Aeakides (Αἰακίδες) and from his father Philip, his root was meeting the renowned race of Argeadon (Ἀργεαδῶν) that is to say one crossing of blood of two heroes’ descendants of Zeus, of Achilles, and Hercules, who were representing the beauty, the bravery, and the wisdom of the entire Hellenism.
In other words, Alexander was an offspring of Greece and a nursling of Macedonia. Arrian was saying, „But him, Alexander, I am not ashamed to admire” . «Ἀλλ᾽ αὐτόν γε Ἀλέξανδρον οὐκ αἰσχύνομαι θαυμάζων» (Λεύκιος Φλάβιος Ἀρριανός)
First among the ancient historians, Herodotus mentions Macedonians and considers them, without hesitation, to be Greeks: «Ἕλληνες δὲ εἶναι τούτους τοὺς ἀπὸ Περδίκκεω γεγονότας, κατά περ αὐτοὶ λέγουσι, αὐτός τε οὕτω τυγχάνω ἐπιστάμενος καὶ δὴ καὶ ἐν τοῖσι ὄπισθεν λόγοισι ἀποδείξω…» See, Herodotus, I, 56, 2-3 and V, 20-22.
There's no need to give you another answer, what better than Alexander HIMSELF being proud and praising the gods for being born Greek? You need proof, ok, how about all these tons of marble across Greece, temples praising the same gods, using the same language, same ritual, same everything? It's simple logic. Why so angry and with bad manners? What I don't get is you people being so stuck in this propaganda, never questioning it and cursing right&left in an uncivilized manner.
Maybe you need to cool down and study a bit from the ancient sources, surely a translation since you don't understand the 'difficult' greek language. Check out Arrian (Ἀρριανός), Herodotus ( Ἡρόδοτος), Thucydides (Θουκυδίδης), Plutarch (Πλούταρχος), Diodorus of Sicily (Διόδωρος ο Σικελιώτης), Isocrates (Ἰσοκράτης), Strabo (Στράβων), Appianus (Ἀππιανός), Polybius (Πολύβιος). Only they can give you the truth.
EDUCATE YOURSELF & THEN COMMENT, otherwise you become laughable.
ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ Ο ΜΕΓΑΣ:"Ευγνωμονώ τοις θεοίς ότι εγεννήθην Έλλην." (Alexander the Great:"I praise the gods for being born a Hellen")
My friend it hard to make you change your mind because you were brought up to believe a lie, I will not try to.

ευχαριστώ! έτσι, για να βλέπουμε μια ταινία γυρισμένη πριν 55 χρόνια να είναι ουσιαστικά πιο 'ιστορική' από τα τωρινά ντοκιμαντέρ!!

thank you for the upload. Alexander of Macedon, Alexander of Greece, a more authentic historical movie for Alexander than the one of Spilbergs!
