Asander

Asander or Asandros (Greek: Άσανδρoς; lived 4th century BC) was the son of Philotas and brother of Parmenion and Agathon.

[4] During Alexander's reign Asander's position suffered for a period following Parmenion's execution, he was sent to Media to gather reinforcements during this time, and a year later was sent to Bactra.

[1] In 334 BC Alexander appointed him governor of Lydia and the other parts of the satrapy of Spithridates, and also placed under his command an army of cavalry and light infantry strong enough to maintain the Macedonian authority.

In 313 Antigonus decided to march against Asander and forced him to conclude a treaty with him under which he was required to surrender his whole army,[9] to restore the areas he had expanded into back to the satraps who had previously controlled those areas, to regard his satrapy of Caria as subject to the gift of Antigonus,[15] and to surrender his brother Agathon as a hostage.

[16] During his tenure in Caria, Asander minted several types of coins at Miletus, in the names of Alexander the Great and Philip III Arrhidaeus.
