<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2908445, member: 38412&quot;]Ptolemaic is Seleucid.&nbsp; Seleucid is Greek after Alexander the Great (circa 300 BC). The word Ptolemaic is derived from Ptolemy, a king and Greek Dynasty that governed Egypt after Alexander.&nbsp; Other Seleucid kings include Seleukos and Antiochus who governed Syria and Antioch (This city derives its name from that Greek king). Also we have Demetrius among others. Alexander had no sons or heirs, so his generals like Antiochus and Ptolemy ruled over his vast Empire and divided it among them. That Greek Empire was named the Seleucid Empire after king or Satrap Seleukos.&nbsp; Coins under the Seleucid Empire could be Greek - Syrian or Greek - Phoenician or Greek -Judean or Greek-Egyptian or Greek-Mesopotomian etc... They&#039;re all Greek.</p><p>Your coin is ancient Greek struck under Ptolemy( I don&#039;t know which one) in Egypt, I suppose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
