<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1697639, member: 42773&quot;]This city changed hands quite a few times B.C.E., and quite a number of different rulers minted their coins there. Here&#039;s a quick list that I compiled - am I missing anyone?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The dates represent the rulers&#039; tenures, not necessarily when they were minting coins in Damascus, hence the occasional overlap. There also seem to be a number of provisionally-attributed, perhaps autonomous issues, according to Hendin et al.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there is a large gap of time between Alexander III and Demetrios II, during which I can&#039;t find any coins minted in Damascus. I assume that had to do with the struggles between the Seleucid and Ptolemaic empires, leaving the city taking a back seat to other seats of power.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d appreciate any wisdom or commentary on the subject. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
