<p>[QUOTE="David@PCC, post: 4195930, member: 80556"]Good luck on your quest. Of 33 rulers I still need 5. If you eliminate usurpers it will be much easier to complete. Staters only appear early in the empire, so the rest will mainly be Tetradrachms. I mostly stick to bronze as they are less cost prohibitive but I do have 20% or so that are silver.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1076897[/ATTACH]</p><p>Seleucus III</p><p>Mint: Antioch</p><p>AR Tetradrachm</p><p>226 to 223 BC</p><p>Obvs: Diademed head of Seleucus III r., with long sideburn, dotted border.</p><p>Revs: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ on r., ΣΕΛΕΥΚΟΥ on l., Apollo, slight drapery on r. thigh, seated l. on omphalos, testing arrow and resting l. hand on grounded bow.
