The most explicit example of the change of Alexander’s attitude to
tradition was his minting of coins whose legends included his name.
Coins in Thessaly were minted by cities andwith the exception of
Larissain small quantities. Placing one’s name on a coin was
extremely rare at this time in the Greek world and was certainly very
important to Alexander in terms of propaganda. There were no coins
of Jason but it was consistent with his policy of respect for Thessalian
nomos. It was the cities that had the privilege of striking coins and
placing images on them. Alexander broke this tradition to promote
and enforce his position. On some coinsthe tyrant even placed his
image as a hors [link widoczny dla zalogowanych][link widoczny dla zalogowanych]n attacking with a spear. The coins he minted bore
a resemblance to earlier coins from Pherae and showed the image of
the goddess Ennodiaworshipped in a sanctuary in Pheraeand the
nymph Hyperiaassociated with a famous spring in the city. Just like
earlier coins from PheraeAlexander’s coins also showed a lion’s
headwhich refers to the water spout of Hyperia’s spring. Some
researchers believe that on Alexander’s coins the lion’s head was
endowed with a new meaninga symbol of strength and power.
