c. 336-329 BC, Laureate head of Philip II as Zeus right. / ŘILIR ROY Young

The coinage of Philip II was continued for circulation in Macedon, under
his son Alexander the Great and Philip III as well. The 1988 discovery of
the royal tomb of Philip II has led to the reattribution of this portrait
to Philip II assimilated to Zeus.
