[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 7614840, member: 81093"]Thanks Doug, that's good advice, and certainly works for all the successor kingdoms. But... I still think it gets murkier as you move on in history. For example, does that still work for all hellenistic states and hellenstic influenced states? Can they all be categorised as "Greek Kings"? A few come to mind, like Cappadocia, Pontus, and Yavanarajya. Are they really Greek kings? Maybe? And what about other coins, that are struck in Greek style, but clearly under Roman rule - like the Illyrian cow & calf drachm? Struck in Greek style, under Roman rule. I guess that would have to be Roman Provincial? And if the Illyrian cow & calf drachm is a Roman Provincial, that probably makes Seleukis and Pieria tetradrachm Roman Provincial as well.[/QUOTE]
