[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3196357, member: 91461"]Nice! You've got me convinced. I wonder how and where someone saw snakes in the wings or the curly, rebelliously, long hair (not sure who the ruler of the known world has to rebel against?)? There are also some beautiful Seleucis I's with ATG wearing a helmet that I would die for. Would show it if I had it... But! To get back on track, here is one of my favorites from the Seleucid kingdom. I believe my most recent acquisition from an auction a few months ago. Something eerie attracted me to it. Just it's je ne sais quo I suppose... [ATTACH=full]826189[/ATTACH] Antiochos I Soter Seleukid Kingdom (281-261 BC). AE (15mm, 2.49g). Smyrna or Sardes. Helmeted head of Athena facing / BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ/ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ. Nike standing left, holding wreath and palm frond, Monogram to outer left. SC 315a; HGC 9, 167. Former: Kairos[/QUOTE]
