Ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος (Alexander The Great) (1956)

Ο Αλέξανδρος (Μπάρτον) είναι ένας άνδρας υποκινούμενος από την σοφία του δάσκαλού του, Αριστοτέλη (Μπάρι Τζόουνς), τον πολεμιστή πατέρα του (Μαρς), αλλά κυρίως από το άσβεστο πάθος του για εξουσία και παγκόσμια ηγεμονία. Σε ένα βίαιο κόσμο πολιτικών αναταραχών, αυτός ο φιλόδοξος νέος θα πρέπει να σηκώσει το ανάστημά του ενάντια στις συγκρούσεις και να ενώσει την Ευρώπη με την Ασία, μένοντας στην ιστορία σαν ένας από τους πιο δοξασμένους ηγέτες όλων των εποχών!

Quotes:
Nectenabus: There were signs of greatness at his birth! Quakes and storms shook the earth - and in the skies, a star fell... and two eagles perched upon the roof of the Queen's chamber. And in far-off Asia... the Temple of Ephesus was struck by lightning and burnt to the ground.
Philip of Macedonia: And how did you read these signs, soothsayer?
Nectenabus: The two eagles - that he was born to rule two worlds. The burning of the Temple - that a torch was kindled that day that would one day consume all the world. And this torch... your son.
Philip of Macedonia: And the falling of the star? [...]

Ancient Greek Coins

crystalinksDOTcom/greekcoins.h­tml

"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.

..."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."

.... 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. ..."

History of the Greek coins

"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. ..

...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).

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; ...
