AETOLIA.
[British Museum Catalogue of Greeli coins, Thessaly—Aetolia, pp. lv-lviii. and 194-200,
with Autotype Plates, by Professor P. Gardner, 1883.]
The Aetolians, notwithstanding their ancient heroic fame, were in
historical times the most turbulent and uncivilized people of Hellas.
Before the age of Alexander there is no trace of native Aetolian money,
nor was it until after the consolidation of the Aetolian League brought
about by the invasions of Aetolia by the Macedonians (b. c. 314-311), and
by the Gauls (b. G. 279), that the Federal coinage began.
This is proved by the reverse type of the tetradrachm, which contains
a distinct allusion to the repulse both of Macedonians and Gauls by the
Aetolians.
