    The owl is an eagle?

    Welcome to Coin Talk, JFT. Very nice article - thank you for posting it. I noticed that someone in the comments questioned the reading of the coin as belonging to Antiochus VIII, but I believe your reading is correct. The bust is clearly Antiochus VIII, and the style of eagle on the coins of the earlier Antiochus IV is quite different.

    No. We got sidetracked, as frequently happens.
