Drachm of Philip V of Macedonia c. 220

Editor: Here we have a Drachm, a coin, of Philip V of Macedonia. I find it so interesting that something so small could represent so much power. What do you make of it? Curator: Well, imagine holding history in your hand! This little coin isn't just money; it's propaganda, art, and a window into a king's ambitions. Notice the detailed portrait? It's a carefully crafted image meant to project authority. What do you think it says about Philip V? Editor: I guess it shows he cared about image. Thanks! That adds so much more depth to seeing it.
