Image description

Indentified as Antigonos Doson (263-221 BC) King of Macedon, from a tetradrachm in the museum's collection. Coins featuring Antigonos Doson portray him as Poseidon, god of the sea--a reference to his reestablishment of Macedonia's supremacy over the sea. The bronze head and silver coin both have fine facial bone structure, deep-set eyes, full open lips, and baroque curls of hair and beard that suggest the turbulence of waves. The windswept locks are barely bound by the fillet that serves as a crown.
