<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3005478, member: 19463&quot;]That is a great group.&nbsp; It does, however, raise the question where we should stop calling Eastern coins &#039;Greek&#039; and start using hedges like &#039;Indo-Greek&#039; for the Eukratides. I guess the term &#039;Hellenistic&#039; admits that all coins after Alexander were not quite fully &#039;Greek&#039; in the old sense of the word so perhaps Baktria, Egypt and Syria are all in the same category.&nbsp; The old use of Hellenistic was for rulers who owed their power to their association with Alexander.&nbsp; Where do the Eastern kingdoms fall in this picture?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
