A Hoard of Alexander the Great from the Region of Syria

Abstract

This article presents part of an allegedly Syrian hoard including 75 Alexander III, Philip III
Arrhidaeus and Seleucus I tetradrachms and compares it with other contemporaneous regional
hoards. The hoard was buried after 294 BCE. The author examines the possibility that some
Alexander III coins attributed by Price to “Babylon” may have in fact been struck more locally.
