<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 3203198, member: 81093&quot;]Thanks for your views Pavlos. I tend to agree with your assessment. If one were to think of their coin as from the &#039;Seleucid Empire&#039;, Sidetes is probably your last call.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That sounds like it would have been an amazing experience! Very jealous. Although I suspect the answer is no.... do you have any photos?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the loss of Antioch was certainly a defining moment. I hadn&#039;t thought of that before. Thank you for the insight.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I 100% agree that we don&#039;t stop collecting after the empire loses significance. I&#039;m certainly one of those collectors who wants a coin from Constantine XI (at the moment my latest Byzantine coin is Andronicus III), but I suspect I will never be able to get one. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason for my question was rather about balance in the collection. I don&#039;t particularly want my coins skewed to when the Empire was in it&#039;s final death throes. I want the bulk to be when in a time period when it can still legitimately be called an Empire, including my first Tetradrachm.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am seriously eyeing off one of these types (I am in love the reverse design) from around 138 to 129 BC:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.ma-shops.com/cgb/pic/bgr_467709.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
