Attempting to establish power elsewhere, Keraunos arrived at the court of Lysimachos, king of Thrace, Macedon, and parts of Asia Minor as well as the husband of his half-sister, Arsinöe II, with whom Keraunos later traveled east seeking the aid of Seleukos. This opportunity was then seized by Seleukos and he later defeated Lysimachos, only to be murdered in turn by Keraunos shortly thereafter. Having married Arsinöe and forged an alliance with Pyrrhos of Epiros, Keraunos ruled for two years until his death fighting against the Gauls.&quot;</p><p>And they also said of your coin type, &quot;</p><p><font size="6"><b>Seldom Offered Ptolemy Keraunos</b></font></p><p>803240.<b>&quot;</b></p><p><b><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=113715" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=113715" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=113715</a></b></p><p>Noice<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie33" alt=":cigar:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my Keraunos:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429386[/ATTACH]</p><p>Ptolemy Keraunos 281-279 BC Uncertain mint.
