Reverse Ptolemaios ICoined in the likeness of the coins of Alexander III, Ptolemaios continued to use the "powers that be", instead of admitting that he himself wanted the title of King.
Minted just after Alexander's death.Sep 21, 2021

Demetrios I SoterThis is the first Seleucid coin I purchaced, and the only coin i have lost! As a archaeologist, i have a special relation to objects of our human history, and i regularily have my coins in my pocket when i travel, go to work, when i teach. They are a part of my view on history, and as such, i want my surroundings to FEEL, touch and look at the coins firsthand.
But this one ... I dropped it on the granite floor tiles of my home, being nonchelant! It broke into many pieces, and i learned first hand that 2200 years old middle eastern silver is unpure, FRAGILE!Sep 21, 2021
