<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2373903, member: 42773&quot;]Maybe the letters that look like I on my coin are in fact E, but the legends of Apollodotos II are so long compared to Menander, that the engraver had to foreshorten them? Your BAΣIΛEΩΣ is spelled correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at your coin, Mikey, in which BAΣIΛEΩΣ is followed by ΣΩTEPOΣ, I&#039;m thinking the engraver of my coin started out spelling ΣΩTEPOΣ after BAΣIΛEΩΣ, then realized he had another word to add first. That might account for the extra sigma.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
