In 330 BC, another heroic figure of Western history appeared on the scene: Alexander the Great. Leading vast armies into Persia, he finally conquered the three-century-old Persian empire, and the darics, symbolizing the might of the Persian kings, were cast into the fire and re-struck as the gold staters.
西元前 330 年，另一位西方歷史上的傳奇英雄人物亞歷山大大帝登場，率領大軍橫掃波斯，強盛了 3 個世紀的波斯帝國就此壽終正寢，而象徵波斯國王神勇的大流克金幣，則被放入烈火中重新鎔鑄，成為「亞歷山得斯」金幣。
