Description
Lysimachus (360 BC – 281 BC) was a Macedonian officer and diadochus (i.e. "successor") of Alexander the Great, who became a basileus ("King") in 306 BC, ruling Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedon.
The historian Justin relates the story that Lysimachus smuggled poison to a person Alexander had condemned to a slow death and was himself thrown to a lion as punishment, but overcame the beast with his bare hands and became one of Alexander's favorites. Some coins issued during Lysimachus's appointment had his image on one side and a lion on the other.
This is an Augustan copy (23 BC-AD 14) of an original of the 2nc century BC.
