Description: Archaios Numismatics Description: Greek Bronze coin from Mylasa Caria in Asia Minor in the name of Eupolemos (the Macedonian General under Cassander) Circa 314 B.C. Obverse: Three (3) Overlapped Shields with a Spearhead on the sheild Boss Reverse: Sword in Scabbard with EYПO-ΛEMOY around and Labrys in Left field Mint: Mylasa, Caria Size: 13 mm Weight: 2.47 g Ref: SNG Copenhagen -; SNG von Aulock - ; BMC Caria pg. 128, 1-3; Condition: Very Fine. Nice example of this interesting coin. I find the overlapping shields to be a very unique and appealing die design As always, Please use the Pictures as your judge as grading is subjective. Notes: Eupolemuswas one of the generals of the Macedonian King Cassander. He was sent by Cassander in 314 BC to invade Caria, but was surprised and taken prisoner by Ptolemy, a general who commanded that province for Antigonus. He must have been liberated again directly, as the next year (313 BC) we find him commanding the forces left by Cassander in Greece, when he moved northward against Antigonus.
