Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of Alexander’s wealth by examining the sources of his income and his expenditure. In connection to the expenditure the chapter provides an overview of Alexander’s coinage. The chapter suggests that while Alexander’s campaigns brought tremendous wealth to the king, much of his useable wealth was absorbed by the army necessary for the campaigns.
