<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2545350, member: 76194&quot;]Mine is also from the Babylon mint. I&#039;ve seen mine attributed as being from 305 BCE - 281 BCE, which would be Seleukos I Nikator&#039;s period of rule. But with a date that wide I guess you could say it is an early posthumous per your definition, or not early at all. I don&#039;t have a time machine to figure out whether it was minted before 290 BCE or just after. That&#039;s the problem with a lot of ancients, tons of them fall in the middle of these modern imposed timelines. The ancients didn&#039;t know 290 BCE was supposed to be the end of the early posthumous period for Alexander tets, so they kept minting this coin for 9 years past that date..</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]546158[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
