League of the Macedonians

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.

[3] Both numismatic and inscriptional evidence attest to the existence of the Macedonian koinon before and after the Roman conquest of Macedon.

[4] It was reorganized under the early Roman Empire and transformed into an institution related to the imperial cult as happened to all the koina of the period.

[4] The koinon, administered by local elite members, organized and financed games and festivals and were awarded Roman citizenship.
