However, in 325 when Alexander was far away toward India the region revolted and Seuthes III took the throne. In 323 Lysimachos recognized Seuthes as ruler of that part of Thrace. Seuthes seems to have still been on the throne at the end of the century, but further details of his reign are lacking.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want a coin of every Greek king, it turns out there are a lot of obscure Greek kings![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
