<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 7614890, member: 96635&quot;]You have a category of &quot;Greek city states&quot;, but ofcourse after Alexander you start to get a lot of Hellenistic Kingdoms, they are not &quot;city states&quot; anymore. Perhaps you should categorise them as that &quot;Hellenistic Kingdoms&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kingdoms such as Pontos and Cappadocia I count as Greek, or Hellenic (it is the same, but Greek is from Latin and Hellenic is what we Greeks call ourselves).&nbsp; They were very much Hellenised in all ways (language, culture, religion etc), and the kings had a mixture of Greek and Persian ancestry. So defintely Hellenistic Kingdoms.</p><p><br /></p><p>States such as Armenia, Parthia, Sophene, Characene etc do are partly Hellenised, but since their ancestry is not Greek at all (except here and there some marriages) and they kept their original tradition, these are more as you say &quot;Hellenistic influenced states&quot;. I would separate them from the Hellenistic Kingdoms.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pseudo-Greek coins such as the posthumous Philip I tetradrachms struck under Roman authority, well there isn&#039;t a wrong answer for that. I put them with my Greek coins, but you can very well count them as a Provincial coin as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
