[QUOTE="NewStyleKing, post: 4680907, member: 106483"]With reference to the NewStyle efalump. Great efalump, looks like it's sizing up the olive leaf for a good chew. As you dated it it's a little early for Mithradates Eupator and Mattingly via Bohrhinger gave up attributing it to a Seleucid prince and said it's a play on a mint magistrates common Greek name with the Seleucid symbol. Who knows! Anchor & Star seems to be a Seleucid reference and dated approx 4 years earlier than Efalump, however the Seleucid type name Antioxos only appears as the 3rd magistrate towards the end of the Anchor & Star issue. As I say who really knows, but the approx dating and sequencing of the coins is good enough. Nice Newstyles![/QUOTE]
