Claiming his place among Alexander the Great’s successors, Demetrius Poliorcetes was the boldest and most flamboyant of the Diadochi — infamous as the “Besieger of Cities.” This exquisite Silver Tetradrachm honors his power, prestige, and artistic patronage.
On the obverse, the design echoes the celebrated Winged Victory of Samothrace, symbolizing triumph and divine favor. The reverse pays homage to the majestic Bronze Poseidon, reminiscent of the great statue in the Numismatic Museum of Athens — a potent emblem of strength and sovereignty.
