<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8330531, member: 118780&quot;]This is a good question, and the answer is very subjective. You can see my attempt <a href="https://ancientcoinstories.com/?page_id=2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ancientcoinstories.com/?page_id=2" rel="nofollow">here</a>. However, here&#039;s a basic list.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Ptolemaic Kingdom - definitely.</p><p>2) Seleukid Empire - yup</p><p>3) Baktria - while I do have a Sophytes coin, it&#039;s not typically considered a &quot;successor kingdom&quot; because it was more of a region. After Seleukos I and Chandragupta, no one person ruled this area. Eventually, roughly a hundred years after the death of Alexander, it split up into multiple Greco-Indian states. These are collected because the designs are often interesting, but we know next to nothing about these various kingdoms and they had very little to do with any of the other successor states.</p><p>4) Pergamon - sometimes skipped but IMHO this is an important one</p><p>5) Antigonid (Macedon is too general) - of course</p><p><br /></p><p>Other possibilities:</p><p>6) Lysimachos - the biggest one you missed</p><p>8) Cappadocian</p><p>8) Bithynia</p><p>9) Chandragupta Maurya - you can&#039;t find coins directly attributable to him, but punchmarked coins believed to be from that rough time are cheap</p><p>10) Herakleia Pontika - not a full kingdom, but the tyrant Dionysos was heavily involved with the other diadochi</p><p>11) Thrace - typically Seuthes III</p><p>12) Kyrene - split off from the Ptolemaic under Magas</p><p>13) Pontic - while it became independent ~40 years after the death of Alexander, the coins we have a chance at were produced about 150 years later, so I don&#039;t include it even though it&#039;s historically relevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
