Until c. 292-291 BC, the coin types used in Macedon showed the portrait of Alexander the Great (336-323 BC). Demetrios then replaced it with his own head, adorned with bull’s horns. This was a very significant change, which inaugurated a long tradition of numismatic portraits of reigning monarchs, the more so since the mighty Alexander himself had not been honoured with a portrait during his lifetime. The innovation was such that, according to Roman historians, Demetrius’ subjects were scandalized by his hubris, and these coins precipitated his downfall.
