[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3788209, member: 96635"]Very cool [USER=80556]@David@PCC[/USER], I remember seeing a chapter about the Soter series in the Handbook of Syrian coins by Hoover, but I never got the time to read about it. Very interesting reading the background about it in your post. I also did not know that these were the first epithets used on Seleukid coins.
