<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 7769422, member: 87080&quot;]Congratulations on a great coin [USER=118780]@kirispupis[/USER]&nbsp; you picked up a really nice example.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the flan crack detracts from it at all.&nbsp; While Kassander may be viewed in a harsh light today, I&#039;m not sure his actions would have been beyond any of the Diadochi.&nbsp; When death was one wrong decision away and standing on nobility and honor, such as Eumenes the Greek, was a sure way to be killed, you had to be ruthless to survive.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I loved &#039;Ghost on theThrone&#039; too, and would highly recommend it.&nbsp; There is another book on the subject that I would recommend:&nbsp; &#039;Dividing the Spoils&#039; by Robin Waterfield.&nbsp; It goes into the first rounds of wars after the different Diadochi declare themselves kings, and ends with the death of Seleukos I, the last of the companions of Alexander. </p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1332329[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>While I don&#039;t have any coins of Kassander, I&#039;ll add a couple of Seleukos to remain somewhat germane to the topic.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332327[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332328[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
