The Alexanders of Attalus I

Abstract:
Previously unpublished evidence from the ‘Seleucus III’ hoard (CH X 272) demonstrates that the Alexanders of Attalus I split into two chronologically distinct series: one c. 235-225 (Kleiner I-VII), the other c. 205-195 (Kleiner VIII-XVIII). The die cutter at Pergamon responsible for this earlier series (Kleiner’s ‘Hand A’) also cut dies for contemporaneous series of Alexanders minted at Mytilene and Chios. The likely historical context for this co-ordinated production is Attalus I’s campaigns against Antiochus Hierax in the late 230s and early 220s.
