Many thanks!
Hi guys, I saw this piece offered online that has me puzzled. The coin has a date(1667), a fleur-de-lis, and a strange obverse and reverse...
[ATTACH] Seleucus I Nikator AR Stater 311-281 BCE 15.89 Next: Coins of Antiochus IV!
Demetrius and his father, Antigonus I, were some of the greatest generals of the hellenistic age. They almost would have put Alexander's empire...
Nice coin Pavlos! Eventually down the road I’d like to get a few Pontic coins;I really like Mithradate’s Alexander tets. Here is my Cappadocian...
Looks okay to me.
My personal opinion: I love that Antiochus I was half Iranian by way of his mother. The Macedonians of Seleucus’s generation we’re fairly...
Nice coins of my favorite Seleucid monarch!:) I particularly like the 1st and 3rd coins that you have. Fun fact, Antiochus I indirectly won the...
I’m with bing on this one, get yourself a decent Gallienus antoninianus for $15....

I think you got your money’s worth and then some! Nice little Seleucid bronze too. Here is Antiochus IV in silver [ATTACH] Seleucid Kings,...

Probably not, but I can think of many lesser men who had loftier titles. Cough cough "Demetrius III Theos Philopator Soter Philometor Euergetes...
When Seleucus I Nikator was assassinated by Ptolemy Ceranus in 281, it nearly spelled the end of the Seleucid State. With the death of Seleucus,...
Thanks man! Yeah that's a rather rare piece from Phocaea minted during Antiochus II's war with Ptolemy II. See...
Without a doubt the Seleucids are my favorite of the successor kingdoms. Antiochus I and II are underrated as Kings in my opinion as well. Here...
Interesting write up. I suspect that a large number of his Tetradrachms were struck either while he was co-ruler with his father or while he was...
