League of the Macedonians

Coin of the first region of the Macedonian League in the Numismatic Museum of Athens with the Greek inscription "ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ΠΡΩΤΗΣ" ("Of the Macedonians of the First")

The League of the Macedonians and Koinon of Macedonia (Ancient Greek: Κοινὸν Μακεδόνων, romanized: Koinòn Makedónōn), was a confederationally-organized commonwealth institution regional state or koinon[1]) consisting of all Macedonian communities united around a monarch.[2] It can be paralleled from the Epirote League, but it seems that the Macedonian koinon had far less power than that of the Epirote Molossians.[2] The capital, or headquarters, of the Macedonian koinon was the city of Beroia.[3]
