Some of the names on these bronze coins have been identified by
R. Weil (Zeit. f. N., vii. 376) with historical personages, among whom
Euphron may be mentioned, who made himself tyrant of Sicyon shortly
after b. c. 368.
Circ. b.c. 322-251.
After the close of the Lamian war, b. c. 322, Sicyon passed for a time
into the hands of the Macedonians, under whose rule tetradrachms were
struck there, with the name and types of Alexander the Great (b.c.
316-308), (Muller, Hon. YAlex., Nos. 864-898). A large number of these
tetradrachms was discovered near Patrae in 1850 (C. T. Newton, Num.
Chron., 1853, p. 29). Some of the accessory symbols on these coins, such
as Apollo holding a fillet behind his back, and the Chimaera, are
undoubtedly Sicyonian. The whole class is distinguished by its
peculiar fabric. The majority of the specimens have the throne of
Zeus surmounted by two small figures of Nike.
Contemporary with these tetradrachms are the following series of
Aeginetic triobols (or Attic tetrobols) and bronze:—
Flying dove.
Large Z surrounded by magistrate’s
name, all in shallow incuse square .
JR Triobol.
