Instead, it has been arranged according to mints, then chronologically according to ruler, in order to show clearly the affinity of coins struck by different rulers at the same city and to provide, as far as possible, an overview of a given mint's activity and its relationship to other mints operating within the same district. A second departure from general practice has been made in the geographical arrangement of the mints themselves. In his formative study of early Seleucid coinages struck in the east, Eastern Seleucid Mints, Edward T. Newell began with the first issues of Seleucus I, struck in Babylonia, then dealt with mints further to the east, ending with Bactria. West- ern Seleucid Mints continued with Mesopotamia, covered Syria Seleucis, Phoenicia, Palestine and Cilicia, and concluded with Asia Minor. While the use of a historically- based system of this nature was fully reasonable in tracing the development of the earliest coinages of the Seleucid kings, it is not easily adapted to a catalogue of coins whose scope embraces the entire historical range of the Seleucid dynasty, from its beginnings under Seleucus I in Babylonia to its final months under Antiochus XIII at Antioch. The approach in this volume emphasizes instead the development of the Empire as a whole, taking as its starting point the area of most fundamental importance to the Seleucid kings. Within this area, which is here called the North Central Region, the mint of Antioch was predominant. As a major settlement since its founding and as the Empire's most important city during the second and into the first century B.C., Antioch issued the largest volume of coinage, and maintained the longest and most continuous record of mint operation. Its effect on the activity of other mints in its own and in more distant regions was profound, often influencing style, iconography, form of inscriptions and striking technique. The catalogue therefore begins with Antioch and its region, which includes the areas Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:24 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 of Cilicia and of Seleucis and Pieria. This is followed by the mints of the Western Region (the western provinces of Asia Minor and the Hellespont); the South Central Region (Phoenicia, Palestine and Coele Syria); and, finally, those of the Eastern Region (Mesopo- tamia eastward, to Bactria). Each regional chapter concludes with a section covering issues whose specific attribution has not been established firmly, but whose provenance, style, iconography or technique relate them in a general manner to other known coins of that area. In recent years excavation reports, new hoard publications, specific mint studies, and articles discussing the attribution of individual coins have all contributed to a growing body of literature on the subject of hellenistic numismatics in general and Seleucid coinages in particular; the material is voluminous. Many references to such studies have been in- corporated in this catalogue but all have not, and while those cited are in the aggregate a X INTRODUCTION guide to the field they are not intended to form a comprehensive bibliography. Instead an attempt has been made to provide sufficient references to permit the user to locate similar or related coins in other works, or to follow the attributions or reattributions that have been made in this catalogue. In citing such material, I have used the criterion of accessibility. Standard, broadly available works, such as E. T. Newell's Eastern Seleucid Mints and Western Seleucid Mints have been given priority; such studies also include Newell's "The Seleucid Mint of Antioch" for coins of Antioch struck after the reign of Antiochus III; and Georges Le Rider's monumental Suse sous les Sileucides et les Parthes for the later Seleucid issues of Susa, Seleucia on the Tigris and Ecbatana. They also include significant articles in journals or essay collections which bring together material relating to a particular mint or period. Where such references do not adequately cover specific coins, the catalogues of the great national collections in London and Paris have been cited, sometimes together. Thereafter, I have referred to other major published collections, both public and private (Copenhagen, Ox- ford, Cambridge and Boston; Lockett, Jameson, de Hirsch and De Clercq). Occasionally it has been noted where a related issue or die may be found in a sales catalogue, if no other work can provide the information. In exceptional cases where a coin may appear to be unique or a series insufficiently known, unpublished examples have been cited in order to show the existence of a similar issue or related type. Coins will be found throughout the catalogue without reference at all; such cases include issues where similar examples by type, inscription, monogram or date could not be located in published collections. Many of these fall into well-established sequences and are of importance primarily in helping to complete the record of a mint's activity. Others, however, may be heretofore unrecorded issues; they are testament to the fact that the record of Seleucid coinages is far from complete, and that additions to the known material Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:24 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 appear from time to time. It is my hope that the publication of such coins in this catalogue will deepen our understanding of Hellenistic numismatics, and give greater definition to this rich and complex period of history. I have a profound debt to the many individuals who have assisted me in the preparation of this volume. I am deeply grateful to Leslie Elam, Director of the American Numismatic Society, for his guidance and care in regard to both the editing and publication of this catalogue; and to the Society's Curator of Greek Coins, Nancy Waggoner, for her thought- ful commentary on the substance of this catalogue and for her patience with my impositions on her time and my intrusions into the Society's Greek Coin Room over a period of many years. Special thanks are also due to the Society's Librarian, Frank Campbell, who has provided me with a stream of reference material which could not be conveniently obtained elsewhere. I am indebted, also, to Martin Price and Helene Nicolet-Pierre, Curators of the London and Paris collections, for the time they have generously given in commenting on many aspects of Seleucid numismatics, and for casts and photographs of coins which have helped clarify questions regarding numerous issues in this catalogue. I also wish to thank Harald Kuthmann of Munich; Gunther Dembski of Vienna; Hans-Dieter and Sabine Schultz of the Staatliche Museum, Berlin; and J. L. Djukov of the Hermitage Museum, Leningrad, all of whom have provided photographs, casts or descriptive material relating to my INTRODUCTION xi study of particular Seleucid mints, and which have been of direct relevance to the proper attribution of many of the coins listed here. My thanks also go to Arnold Spaer of Jerusalem; Paolo Girardi of Beirut and Rome; and Edoardo Levante of Iskenderun and Paris, for their help in resolving questions of provenance and for informing me of numismatic material or scholarship related to the attribution of issues from Palestine, Syria and Phoenicia, and Cilicia. Specific and useful commentary on Seleucid coins of Ascalon and Jerusalem has been provided by Ya'akov Meshorer of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Frank Holt of the University of Virginia and William Spengler, now at the University of Wisconsin (Madison), have re- viewed the chapter on Bactria, and have made helpful suggestions on the history and coins of that area. In the last analysis, this catalogue would not have been possible without the help of Otto Morkholm of the Royal Collection of Coins and Medals, Copenhagen, and Silvia Hurter of Bank Leu, Zurich. For nearly two decades Mr. Morkholm has provided unstinting assistance and advice as my interest in Seleucid history and numismatics has developed. Much of this work bears his imprint. The general arrangement of mints, for example, was originally his suggestion, and has been adopted in ful1. The attribution of many coins has been based on his definitive studies in the field of hellenistic numismatics, and I have depended heavily on his suggestions for improvement of the catalogue text. The responsibility for any mistakes is mine alone, but such substantive errors as may exist would have been immeasurably greater without Mr. Morkholm's advice. The core of this volume is the quality of its photography. Much of the basis of numismatic scholarship is visual; and while errors of substance can be corrected, information lost by inadequate illustrations can be regained only with the greatest difficulty, if at al1. I have been fortunate in the extreme that Silvia Hurter agreed to apply her unmatched skill Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:24 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 to the photography of the coins in this catalogue. Simple thanks are inadequate for a task which involved long hours of labor and care. It is my hope that she will see, as I do, the results to be a monument to her technique and eye. I am obliged as well to Frances M. Schwartz for the expert mounting of the plates. Finally, I wish to acknowledge my debt to two individuals, now deceased. Dikran Saraffian was as much a student of antiquity as he was a dealer of ancient artifacts, a wit, and a man of gentle charm who never forebore to expIain the past to a youth who hardly knew what questions to ask. Henri Seyrig seemed to keep his door forever open in response to my quest for information on the coinages of Syria, which were a source of fascination to him as wel1. Both encouraged my early interest in ancient coins, and guided me toward Seleucid numismatics as an area which promised rich intellectual reward. They were not wrong.

CHRONOLOGICAL CHART OF SELECTED MINTS No dates have been given to the separate reigns of the kings whose coinage is represented. Had the Seleucid state remained united, it would have been possible to show a straightforward chronological sequence of rulers at their capital city. It did not, however, and the chronology of the Empire—the later Empire in particular—is anything but straightforward. In some cases, usurpers assumed control of one or more cities and were themselves defeated and replaced by a legitimate ruler. In others, a king may have been expelled from one city but maintained his authority at another. Some rulers exercised power over vast territory but never ruled at the Seleucid capital, Antioch. As a result, a simple list of Seleucid kings tends to be misleading about the breadth of an individual ruler's authority; and an arrangement of kings at a single selected city, such as Antioch, would give only a fragmentary picture about the extent of each ruler's contro1. Neither approach would reflect the increasing political complexity of the Seleucid state in its later stages, threatened externally by intensifying political and military threats, and internally by a broadening pattern of disruption and disintegration as rival challengers fought each other for authority. The following chart is intended to correct this problem in part. It sets out schematically the reigns of Seleucid rulers at selected provincial capitals, from Sardes in western Asia Minor to Bactra in the far northeast. In the case of each capital the record of coins struck by the city's mint is, with only a few exceptions, sufficiently continuous to provide certainty about the sequence of rulers at these locations. Its chronological accuracy is only approximate, however, particularly in those instances where the ancient sources are im- precise or silent, or where the numismatic material is lacking. The notes which follow the chart indicate some of the areas where chronological clarification is needed.

Hadley, "The Foun- dation Date of Seleucia on the Tigris," Historia 27 (1978), pp. 228-30. • The date of Seleucus's occupation of Bactra is not known. The first Seleucid coins of Bactra do not appear to have been struck prior to the period of joint rule of Seleucus and his son, Antiochus I, which began c. 292 B.C. (see introduction to catalogue section on Bactra). 3 WSM, pp. 211-13, accepts a Seleucid occupation of Damascus extending from the reign of Antio- chus I to the early years of Seleucus II, but notes the scant evidence supporting the rule of any Seleucid king in this city prior to the reign of Antiochus VII. 4 The dates of Antiochus, son of Seleucus IV, follow the chronology of Morkholm, Accession. 5 The dates of Antiochus V and Timarchus at Seleucia are according to A. R. Bellinger, "The Bronze Coins of Timarchus," ANSMN 1 (1945), pp. 37-44, and A. Houghton, "Timarchus as King in Babylo- nia," RN 1979, pp. 213-17. • The chronology of Tryphon's reign in Syria is not certain. The traditionally accepted dating of Tryphon's regnal years, which is supported by Brett, Ake-Ptolemais, and H. Seyrig, Notes, has been retained. 7 A coin of Antiochus IX of Ascalon dated 91P (199 S.E. = 114/3 B.C.) in the British Museum indicates a slightly earlier beginning of this king's reign in Palestine and Coele-Syria than Newell suggests in LSM, p. 31 and p. 70. 8 The chart includes four hypothetical regnal periods for Antiochus VIII at Damascus, three for Antiochus IX, based upon Bellinger, End of the Seleucids, pp. 68-74; 87-88, and a late issue of Antiochus VIII published by Merkholm, "Some Western Seleucid Coins," INJ 3 (1965-66), p. 12. No dated silver coins of Antiochus IX are known for this city after 111/0 B.C., however, and Bellinger's suggestion of a third reign for this king at Damascus is based upon bronze issues of Eros/Nike type whose attribution is not certain. • Newell has placed the beginning of Antiochus VIII's fourth reign at Antioch at 108/7 B.C. (SMA, p. 103). On the basis of hoard evidence, Seyrig, Trisors, p. 102, has noted that Antiochus's initiation Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:24 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 of the Zeus Nikephoros reverse type at Antioch—and by implication the date of Antiochus's fourth accession at that city—probably did not occur until c. 105 B.C. or later. However, H. Troxell and N. Waggoner, "The Robert F. Kelley Bequest," ANSMN 23 (1978), pp. 40-41, cite two tetradrachms which suggest that Antiochus may have begun striking the Zeus Nikephoros coinage concurrently with the Zeus Ouranios type during his third reign, or that the latter may have been continued into the king's fourth reign until they were replaced by the Zeus Nikephoros series. The evidence is insufficient to provide a definitive resolution of the chronology of this period, and Newell's dates have been provisionally retained. 10 Both Antiochus XI and Philip I occupied Cilicia during their struggle with Antiochus X Eusebes. They presumably occupied Tarsus during this period, whether jointly or in succession is not known. No coins of Tarsus have been identified with either ruler. The two reigns of Antiochus X at Antioch are discussed by Bellinger, End of the Seleucids, pp. 73-74; see also the introductory notes to the sections on Antiochus X and XI at Antioch. II See Bellinger, End of the Seleucids, pp. 82-85, and the introductory note to the section on An- tiochus XIII at Antioch for the interrupted reign of this king and the brief assumption of power by Philip II. NORTH CENTRAL REGlON SYRIA SELEUCIS: ANTIOCH From the date of its founding in 300 B.C. until its annexation by Pompey almost two and a half centuries later, Antioch grew to become the single most important city of the Seleucid Empire. The coinage of Antioch reflects the developing focal nature of the city itself: from early beginnings of significant if not voluminous output, when the attention of the early Seleucid kings remained predominantly fixed on the rich and densely populated territories of Asia Minor, to its zenith as the Empire's capital under Antiochus IV (175-164 B.C.). With the exception of the Ptolemaic occupation of the city in 246-244 B.C., the record of Antioch's coinage as a Seleucid mint is virtually continuous until the capture of the city by Tigranes in the first century.

ANTIOCHUS XI The single tetradrachm of Antiochus XI known to Newell at the time of publication of SMA supported his judgement that this king ruled at An- tioch for only a few weeks in 93 B.C. (SMA, pp. 115-17; see also Bellinger, End of the Seleucids, pp. 74-75). The existence of at least three different obverse dies (two represented below, another in the British Museum: M. J. Price, "Becent Coin Acquisitions by the British Museum," Archaeological Re- ports 20 [1973-74], Athens, 1974, p. 69, 13) now known to have been used on Antiochus's coinage, and the development of sideburns on his final issue, suggests that his hold on Antioch was considerable longer, perhaps the better part of a year.

Waage, p. 23, 246-49, categorizes bronze coins similar to 395-96 as con- temporary forgeries, struck at Antioch, Seleucia Pieria or possibly Dura Euro- pus during Philip's reign or under the Romans in the first century B.C. She cites four examples from Seleucia, two from the excavations at Dura (see Bellinger, Dura, p. 6, 109a and p. 12, 193b), and suggests that the forger used different dies which may have been copied from Philip's tetradrachm issues, or which may have been discarded but undestroyed dies from the mint of An- tioch. In fact, the above two coins and those Waage cites from Seleucia give every evidence of having been regular coinage, struck at Antioch and meant for circulation. Their distribution and the relatively large number of examples now known suggest a significant issue with broad acceptance. As Waage notes, moreover, they appear to have been struck from different tetradrachm dies. While a forger might have access to one set of discarded dies, the use of many seems highly unlikely and suggests instead that 26 Arthur Houghton Collection ANTIOCHUS XIII The occupation of Antioch by Antio- chus XIII from 69/8-67/6 B.C. ended with his military defeat and the assumption of the throne by Philip II Barypous, son of Philip Philadelphus. Antiochus was returned to the city in 65/4 B.C., but could not be confirmed as king by Pompey, who formally annexed Syria in 64 B.C. (Bellinger, End of the Seleucids, pp. 82-85; see also F. Holt, "Cicero and "Sampsiceramus', a Factor in the For- mation of the First Triumvirate," Essays in History 25 [1981], Charlottes- ville, pp. 52-56). A. R. Bellinger, "Notes on Some Coins from Antioch in Syria," ANSMN 5 (1952), pp. 53-55, has suggested that a unique bronze coin in New York may have been issued during a joint reign at Antioch of Antiochus XIII and his mother, Cleopatra Selene, in 92 B.C. The following tetradrachms were struck under Antiochus as sole ruler, undoubtedly during the king's first tenure at Antioch.

SYRIA SELEUCIS: SELEUCIA PIERIA Shortly after its founding by Seleucus I in 300 B.C., the mint at Seleucia Pieria began operations with the issuance of both silver and bronze coinage, the former of the same type and using dies cut by the same hand as those of Alexander-type tetradrachms struck under Antigonus at Antigonea.1 The mint appears to have closed shortly after the accession of Antiochus I, possibly because the need for the production of coinage at Seleucia had been obviated by the growing capacity of the mint at Antioch. No mint activity is recorded at Seleucia from the reign of Antiochus I to that of Antiochus IV. About 246 B.C. Ptolemy III seized the city, which remained under Egyptian control until its recapture by Antiochus III in 219 B.C. Antiochus IV struck municipal bronze coinage at Seleucia and possibly some tetradrachms (404). Special status appears to have been con- ferred on the city by Alexander I Balas, under whom a wide variety of coinage was struck, including two monumental tetradrachm issues (407 and 409), local coinage both with and without the king's portrait, and a bronze "federal" coinage (a series inscribed AAEAOQN AHMQN), apparently meant for circulation in both Seleucia and Antioch. The activity of Seleucia's mint seems to have been only sporadic thereafter. Demetrius II may have struck issues at the city during his first reign (411), and coinage is recorded for Antiochus VII, Demetrius IPs second reign, Alexander II Zabinas, possibly Antiochus VIII and Demetrius III.8 1 WSM, pp. 84-86. 8 Antiochus VII: G.

The city may have struck a single royal bronze issue of Seleucus (WSM 1128), and possibly some later silver coinage.1 Under Antiochus IV and Alexander I Balas, Apamea issued local coinage bearing the king's portrait.2 No later Seleucid coins have been attributed to this city.3 Pending a study which would clarify the activity of the mint of Apamea in the third century and satisfactorily establish the attribution of issues given by Newell to this city, the coins of Seleucus I — Antiochus III in this section have been catalogued in accordance with WSM.

Houghton, Tarik Darreh, pp. 38—41, suggests the reattribution to Antioch of coinage of Seleucus II and Antiochus III with the monogram e% Other issues given by Newell to this mint, perhaps including those of Antiochus I and II, may also have been struck at another city. 2 O. Morkholm has also attributed to Apamea bronze coinage struck by Alexander with the portrait and name of Antiochus IV (see 564). 8 Under Tigranes II, Apamea struck dated autonomous bronze coinage between 76/5 and 68/7 B.C., but this right appears to have been withdrawn by Antiochus XIII.

SYRIA SELEUCIS: LAODICEA AD MARE From its founding by Seleucus I at the beginning of the third century B.C. through the reign of Antiochus III, Laodicea appears to have confined its mint activity to the issuance of royal silver, which ceased with Antiochus's death. The city later struck municipal bronze coinage under Antiochus IV and Alexander Balas. A brief tetradrachm issue may have been struck at Laodicea (or Seleucia Pieria) during the first reign of Demetrius II in Syria;1 no later Seleucid coinage has been attributed to this city, which was granted autonomy under Tigranes II in 81 B.C.2 SELEUCUS I Obv.

CILICIA: TARSUS Active under the satraps of Persia as well as Alexander and his immediate successors, the mint of Tarsus continued to produce gold and silver coinage for Seleucus I following his capture of Cilicia from Demetrius Poliorcetes in c. 294 B.C.1 Thereafter, Tarsus appears to have operated continuously as a Seleucid mint through the reign of Demetrius I, with the exception of a brief period of occupation by Ptolemaic forces between c. 246 and 243 B .C.2 The great rarity of Tarsid coin issues from the reign of Alexander I Balas (No. 475), the first reign of Demetrius II* and that of Antiochus VI,4 suggests that the mint's activity was limited and discontinuous in the troubled period between the death of Demetrius I Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:25 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 and the accession of Antiochus VII. A resurgence of production occurred under the latter king, however, which was maintained through the final reign in Cilicia of Antiochus IX. The last known Seleucid issue of Tarsus was struck by Seleucus VI.6 1 As Newell noted in discussing the attribution of issues such as No. 450, the assignment to Tarsus of early Seleucid coinages poses particular difficulty. One is on increasingly firm ground with the issues of Antiochus I and later (but see comment following 604 regarding the problem of attributing coins of Seleucus II to either Tarsus or Sardes). For the pre-Seleucid coinage of Tarsus, see E. T. Newell, "Tarsus under Alexander," AJN 52 (1918), pp. 83-84; E. T. Newell, The Coinages of Demetrius Polior- cetes (London, 1927), pp. 48-58; Cox, Tarsus, pp. 38-43. 8 WSM, pp. 222-23. Cox, Tarsus, p. 45, suggests that this mint closed during the war between Antiochus III and Rome, but the prolific coinage now known to have been struck by Antiochus at Tarsus indicates no discontinuity of mint production during this period. 3 M.

The three types also form a set of multiples, although this is not necessarily deter- minative of a common origin. Bellinger, End of the Seleucids, p. 91, suggests an attribution of these coins to Apamea.

The city struck tetradrachms and drachms under An- tiochus and Seleucus IV, and limited tetradrachm issues under Antiochus IV and Deme- trius I. The monograms which appear on Soli's coinage at this time are in many cases similar to those on contemporaneous issues of Tarsus, suggesting that both mints may have shared the same magistrates.1 Under later Seleucid rulers Soli produced coinage irregularly. None is recorded later than the reign of Angiochus VII.2 1 I wish to acknowledge O. Merkholm's incisive observations, provided orally, on the nature of the administrative relationship between Tarsus and Soli during this period. 8 G.

CILICIA: SELEUCIA AD CALYCADNUM Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:25 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 The ambiguity of the evidence supporting an attribution of the following group of coins to either Seleucia ad Calycadnum or to Elaeusa (Sebaste) has been pointed out by Bellinger, Elaeusa Sebaste, pp. 27-30. Bellinger favored the latter mint in view of the fact that certain monograms appear both on tetradrachms of Seleucus VI of this series, and on two autonomous silver issues of Elaeusa. G. K. Jenkins, "Recent Acquisitions of Greek Coins by the British Museum," NC 1959, pp. 44-45, has more recently supported Bellinger's attribution. However, F. Imhoof-Blumer, "Zur syrischen Miinzkunde," NZ 1901, p. 4, preferred Seleucia on the basis of the leaf symbol—invariably the same five-lobed leaf— carried on these coins. Imhoof-Blumer's view has been supported by P. Naster, "Les monnaies seleucides attributes a l'atelier d'Elaeusa Sebaste," RBN 1980, pp. 13-16, and 0. Morkholm, "Two Seleucid Coin Notes," NC 1957, pp. 9-10, with whose judgement the author concurs. The earliest issue which bears the five-lobed leaf symbol and which can with assurance be attributed to Seleucia ad Calycadnum is a unique tetradrachm of Seleucus IV in the Hague.1 Judging from the relatively few known examples of royal coinage which were issued subsequently, the production of the mint appears to have been highly sporadic through the second century B.C., suggesting that it had no more than a peripheral role during this period. A surge of activity evidently occurred under Seleucus VI, however, when the mint issued coins struck from an unusually rich variety of obverse dies and employing a large number of reverse monograms—very probably, as Bellinger has suggested (End of the Seleucids, p. 73, n. 64), to finance Seleucus's campaign against Antiochus IX which culminated in his capture of Antioch in 95 B.C. No later Seleucid coinage of this mint is known. 1 Newell assigned WSM 1330-31, tetradrachms of Seleucus III and Antiochus III, to Seleucia ad Calycadnum on the basis of their symbol, the forepart of a horse. Such coins may well have been struck in Cilicia, but their attribution to Seleucia is not certain. ClLICIA 43 ANTIOCHUS VII Obv. Diademed head of Antiochus r.; fillet border. Rev.

Contemporaneous coinage of Tarsus, however, differs stylistically in important respects from this series (see 459-75, above). Never- theless, the appearance of the monograms CE , Pi, and NK on coins of both this group and on Tarsid issues of Antiochus II, Seleucus II and III, and Antiochus III (e.g., WSM 1308; 461 and 463-64, above) suggests that even if both series were not struck at the same mint, they were issued by mints which shared the same officiating magistrates.1 The evidence points to an attribution of the following coins to an as yet unidentified Cilician city.

WESTERN REGlON WEST ASIA MINOR: SARDES One of the major cities of Asia Minor with a long history of settlement, Sardes had operated a flourishing mint under Alexander and his immediate successors through the greater part of Lysimachus's reign.1 The mint was evidently closed during the occupation of the city by Demetrius Poliorcetes in 297 R.C., but was reopened after the arrival of Seleucus I fifteen years later. Under the first Seleucid rulers, Sardes became a major stronghold of the Empire in the west, its mint producing a prolific number of royal silver and some bronze issues through the reign of Antiochus Hierax.' The city was taken by Attalus I in 226 B.C.; from that date until its recapture four years later by Achaeus, acting for Antiochus III, Sardes's mint struck tetradrachms of Alexandrine (Heracles head) obverses but bearing local types or symbols on their reverses.3 In c. 221 B.C. Achaeus revolted, holding Sardes until he was overthrown and executed by Antiochus in 215 B.C. The Seleucid era at Sardes ended with the defeat of Antiochus by the armies of Rome at Magnesia on the Sipylum in 190 B.C. SELEUCUS I Obv. lion's Rev. Head of Heracles in skin r.; dotted border.

Both Newell (WSM, p. 244) and Mork- holm, (Sardes, p. 20) have noted the difficulty of distinguishing the early issues of Seleucus II at Tarsus from those of Sardes. Newell assigned this coin to the former mint on the basis of the monogram NC, which appears at Tarsus under Antiochus II (WSM 1310-11), Ptolemy III and later under Antiochus III (WSM 1261- 69, "Tyre", reattributed by Mork- holm: see above, Tarsus-Antio- chus III). Both mints have several monograms in common, however, and the presence of NK is not conclusive for a determin- ation of attribution. No. 604's other monogram N , moreover, relates it to earlier issues of An- tiochus II given by Newell to Sardes (e.g., 597, above), as well as to other issues of Seleucus II more certainly attributed to this mint, to which it bears a strong stylistic resemblance (605, below). 605.

WEST ASIA MINOR: MAGNESIA ON THE MAEANDER The prolific coinage in both gold and silver initiated at Magnesia by Lysimachus was not continued after the fall of the city to Seleucus I in 282 B.C., to whom only a single issue, in bronze, has been attributed (WSM 1469). The striking of royal silver was resumed late in the reign of Antiochus I, apparently ending during the early years of Antiochus Hierax.1 References are to H. Seyrig, Magnisie. The coins of Antiochus II follow Seyrig's proposed sequence. ANTIOCHUS II Obv. Diademed head of Antiochus I r.; dotted border. Rev. BAZIAEQZ ANTIOXOY Nude Apollo seated 1. on omphalos, holding bow.

Nos. 618-19 have been attributed to Magnesia because of their relationship to 620, a drachm of Antiochus Hierax whose monograms they share. The latter has been attributed to this mint because of the bow held in Apollo's hand, and by the covering of Apollo's legs, a feature whose significance for the development of the Seleucid coinage of Magnesia was first pointed out by Seyrig (Magnisie, p. 33). It follows from the above reattributions that the drachm series, WSM Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:25 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 1420-23, should be shifted from Sardes to Magnesia. This would be consistent with the striking history of both mints, since Sardes is not known to have issued drachms later than the time of Seleucus I, while Magnesia had done so under both Antiochus I and II.

Although Lysimachus had opened a mint at Smyrna,1 no Seleucid coins prior to the reign of Antiochus I have been attributed to this city. Whether or not Smyrna struck coinage under Antiochus II is questionable.2 No later Seleucid issues have been identified with this mint. 1 Thompson, Lysimachus, pp. 180-81. * WSM 1497, a stater with a standing Athena reverse, should be assigned to Myrina on the basis of its relationship to 628 below, a stater of similar type which shares its symbol and monogram with WSM 1525-27. The tetradrachm issue WSM 1498, given by Newell to Antiochus II, should be reassigned to Antiochus I because of its monogram $ and its clear relationship to 622, which shares both <£ and /fc with WSM 1493-95. WSM 1499-1500, tetradrachms with an idealized portrait of Antiochus II, have a general affinity to coins struck at various mints in western Asia Minor, but bear little relationship to earlier Seleucid issues attributed more securely to Smyrna (the only particular point in common, noted by Newell, is the palm branch bound with a fillet which appears on WSM 1499, which is the same as that carried by Athena on the stater WSM 1497—herein assigned to Myrina).

WEST ASIA MINOR: PHOCAEA The mint of Phocaea appears to have opened only after the accession of Antiochus I to the Seleucid throne. A series of silver issues has been attributed to this king and to An- tiochus II at Phocaea, and a single tetradrachm (WSM 1509) has been tentatively given to Antiochus Hierax at this mint. No later Seleucid coinage is known for Phocaea. ANTIOCHUS II Obv. Diademed head of Antiochus I r.; dotted border. Rev.

The existence of a Seleucid mint at Magnesia is questionable. Newell assigned coins of Antiochus I to this city on the basis of their typological relationship to issues identified with Phocaea, Cyme, Myrina and Aegae, taken together with their lack of stylistic affinity to such issues.1 The case for such an attribution is not strong, but none better has been made for WSM 1456-58. No other Seleucid coinage can be attributed to Magnesia.8 ANTIOCHUS I Obv. Diademed head of Antiochus r.; dotted border. Rev.

WEST ASIA MINOR: PERGAMUM Established by Lysimachus, the mint at Pergamum struck a very brief monumental coinage under Seleucus I (633) after the Battle of Corupedium. Following Seleucus's assassination in 280 B.C., Pergamum, under Philetaerus, issued Alexandrine tetradrachms in the name of both Alexander and Seleucus (634), replacing these about five years later with issues bearing Seleucus's portrait but Philetaerus's own name (635). In 262 B.C. Philetaerus's successor, Eumenes, defeated Antiochus I at Sardes, confirming Pergamene independence from the Seleucid state. References are to E. T.

Boehringer's tentative reassignment of WSM 1615-21 to Antiochus Hierax (Chronologie, p. 161, 29) has been supported by other hoard evidence: E.

Newell's assignment of certain silver coins with Alexander's name and an inverted anchor in the 1. field as non-Seleucid types struck in the area of Aradus (WSM, p. 192- 200) is somewhat weakened by the continued appearance of a number of such issues in eastern hoards.1 Some may have been struck at one or more eastern mints, but the evidence for their definitive attribution is still ambiguous.

PHOENICIA: SIMYRA Simyra, one of several villages on the Syrian coast bound closely to Aradus, appears to have been given the right to coin money along with the latter city after 259/8 B.C. The few examples of coins identified as having been struck at Simyra indicate only the most intermittent mint activity, however. The following exceptional coin—the only royal Seleucid issue attributed to Simyra—appears to have been struck when the town was being used as a military staging area by Seleucus III in preparation for a campagn to seize southern Phoenicia from Ptolemy IV. For a discussion of Simyra during this period, see H. Seyrig, "Monnaies hellenistiques: XVIII. Seleucus III et Simyra," RN 1971, pp. 7-11. SELEUCUS III Obv.

P. Six, "L'ere de Tripolis," Annuaire de la Sociiti Francaise de Numismatique 1886, pp. 229- 234, has attributed to Tripolis coins with the reverse type of Tyche holding a tiller and cornucopiae. This iconography was not limited to Tripolis, however, and several issues of Antioch bear the same reverse type (Alexander II Zabinas: SMA, p. 89; Waage, p. 19, 200.

However, Bellinger, Dura, p. 114, 110, has provisionally assigned to Tripolis a bronze issue of Demetrius III with the reverse type of Tyche wearing a turreted headdress. 68 Arthur Houghton Collection PHOENICIA: BYBLUS The increased autonomy granted by Antiochus IV to the cities of Syria is reflected in the coinage of Byblus, whose mint opened with the production of municipal bronze issues carrying Antiochus's portrait and the name or initials of the city. Similar coins were struck by Alexander I Balas. A single tetradrachm of Antiochus VI is recorded as having been struck at Byblus.1 Tryphon issued coinage both in silver and bronze there,2 and at least one issue of Antiochus VII is known for Byblus.3 No later Seleucid coinage has been positively attributed to this city.

However, an unpublished bronze issue of Alexander I Balas of Beirut in the author's collection carries the same monogram as that in the upper r. field of 710, indicating that a more likely attribution for 710 is to the king's first regnal period. PHOENICIA: SIDON Sidon, whose mint had been active prior to and under Alexander the Great, as well as during the third century when Ptolemaic forces had occupied the Phoenician coast, produced no coinage under the Seleucids until the reign of Antiochus IV, when that city issued municipal bronzes with the king's portrait.1 Local bronze issues were also struck by Demetrius I, but under Alexander I Balas the mint initiated a significant series of silver 1 Bronze issues of Antiochus IV: J.

Phoenicia 71 coins using both the Phoenician and Attic weight standards, a practice which was maintained through at least the first part of the reign of Antiochus VII.2 There is no recorded coinage of Sidon for the reign of Alexander Zabinas. The mint resumed activity with the issuance of tetradrachms during the joint reign of Cleopatra Thea and Antiochus VIII, and continued operations into the reign of Antiochus IX. The last recorded Seleucid issue of Sidon, a tetradrachm of Antiochus IX, is dated 202 S.E. (111/0 B.C.).3 References are to J.

Generally speaking coins were struck in one standard only in a given year, sometimes in both standards in alternate years (during the joint reign of Cleopatra Thea and Antiochus VIII, for example); more rarely, issues were produced in both standards in the same year (under Alexander I Balas and Demetrius II in 165 S.E. and 168 S.E., respectively). No consistent pattern emerges from Sidon's known coinage, although the mint's bias was toward the Phoenician weight system throughout its history under the Seleucids. 3 Naville 10, 15 Jun. 1925, 1459; MuM 37, 5 Dec. 1968, 265. 72 Arthur Houghton Collection DEMETRIUS II — FIRST REIGN Obv.

PHOENICIA: TYRE The mint of Tyre, active under the Persian satraps as well as Alexander and his Ptolemaic successors, appears to have opened as a Seleucid facility shortly after the Battle of Panion of 200 B.C., when Phoenicia and other Egyptian-controlled territories in Palestine and Coele Syria fell to Antiochus III. The bronze issues of local type with the king's portrait which Antiochus initiated at this mint1 appear to have been produced without significant interruption through the reign of Demetrius I. Seleucid silver was first struck at Tyre under Alexander I Balas and continued to be produced, along with municipal bronze issues, until the murder of Demetrius II in 126/5 B.C., when the city gained autonomous status.2 1 The first recorded Seleucid coin of Tyre, a bronze of Antiochus, is dated 115 S.E. (198/7 B.C.): Tyre 4a. * Tyre, like Sidon, generally struck silver coinage on the Phoenician weight standard, but Attic weight tetradrachms were issued both during the first and second reigns of Demetrius II and under Antiochus VII. Tyre began to issue the autonomous shekels of the Heracles-Melkart type immediately after Demetrius's death. 74 Arthur Houghton Collection ANTIOCHUS III Obv.

No Seleucid coinage is recorded for Ake prior to the reign of Seleucus IV, when a limited tetradrachm issue was struck.1 The mint appears to have remained in continuous operation thereafter, except for the reign of Antiochus VII,8 until at least 107/6 B.C., the date of its last recorded Seleucid coin.3 The Seleucid era at Ake ended in 104/3 B.C. when the city was beseiged and captured by Alexander Jannaeus.

Under Antiochus V, Ake issued tetradrachms using both Phoenician and Attic weight standards, generally maintaining this dual coinage throughout its operation as a Seleucid mint, with exceptions (Alexander I Balas, Antiochus VI and Tryphon are known to have struck only Phoenician weight tetradrachms: Cleopatra Thea, only Attic weight issues during her single year reign). 2 Le Rider and Seyrig, De Clercq 198, have reassigned to Ascalon a silver series of the year 177 S.E. (136/5 B.C.) previously given to Ake by Seyrig (Notes, p. 10, No. 6 = Babelon 1104), leaving Ake with no known coinage for Antiochus VII. 1 LSM 51, a tetradrachm of Antiochus IX. 78 Arthur Houghton Collection ANTIOCHUS IV Obv.

PALESTINE: ASCALON Under Seleucid rule, Ascalon was no more than a minor mint until the second century B.C. It had been gained by Antiochus III following the Battle of Panion in 200 B.C., but issued no royal coinage until the reign of Antiochus IV, under whom bronze issues showing the king's portrait and various symbols, including the city's badge, a dove, were struck.1 Bronze coins were also issued at Ascalon by Alexander I Balas and Tryphon; the latter king seems to have also struck the city's first royal silver. During the reign of Antiochus VII, Ascalon produced bronze coins and, possibly, a rare tetradrachm issue.2 The city's mint seems to have entered a phase of increased activity during the second reign of Demetrius II, striking silver more or less regularly thereafter until the city gained autonomous status in 103 B.C.3 ANTIOCHUS IV Obv.

The latter two coins differ from the first in the formation of their flans, but the similarity of the portraits of all three and their use of identical inscriptions (BA = BAZIAEQZ ANTIOXOY?) and monograms indicate that all were struck at the same mint, probably Ascalon, under Antiochus IV. I am grateful to Arnold Spaer for permission to publish his coin, and to Dr. Meshorer for reexamining the bronze issue in the Israel Museum and communicating the new monogram information. 2 Babelon 1104: see comment following De Clercq 198. The attribution to Ascalon of the unique tetradrachm of Antiochus VII in Paris is uncertain. 3 Spaer, Ascalon, provides the most comprehensive study of the city's mint in the late hellenistic period. 82 Arthur Houghton Collection TRYPHON Obv.

No other Seleucid coinage has been positively identified with Jerusalem, which fell to the Hasmonaeans at the end of the second or beginning of the first century B.C.1 1 Reexamination of the unique bronze coin in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, cited by Y. Meshorer, "The Beginning of Hasmonean Coinage," 1EJ 24 (1974), pp. 59-61, indicates that the letters LK on the coin's reverse are not a date but are instead the elements of a monogram identical to that appearing on bronze coinage of Antiochus IV struck at Ascalon, such as 815 (see the introduction to Ascalon, above, n. 1). M. Narkiss, Coins of Palestine (in Hebrew), voi. 2 (Jerusalem, 1938), p. 127, 165, has suggested that Antiochus IX also issued coinage at Jesusalem. 84 Arthur Houghton Collection ANTIOCHUS VII Obv.

Following the death of Alexander it was occupied by Ptolemaic forces, then was seized by Antiochus I and may have remained Seleucid through part of the reign of Seleucus II.1 Ptolemy III recaptured the city, however, after which it was returned to Seleucid control by Antiochus III in 200 B.C. There is no coinage which can be assigned to Damascus with certainty during this early period;2 only with the reign of Antiochus VII do dated silver issues appear which can be securely given to the Damascus mint. Thereafter, mint production appears to have continued without significant interruption until the last decade of the second century B.C., when the strife between Antiochus VIII and Antiochus IX engulfed most of the cities which Generated for anonymous on 2015-02-15 19:25 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015013527562 Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#cc-by-nc-sa-4.0 were still part of the Seleucid realm.

No coinage of Seleucus has been identified with this city, however, and only a few bronze issues of Antiochus I have been tentatively attributed to its mint. Edessa was later renamed Antiochia on the Callirhoen, probably by Antiochus IV, who permitted the city to strike municipal bronze issues with his own portrait. No other Seleucid coinage is known for this mint. 1 The extreme break in iconography and style between the coinages of Seleucus I and Antiochus I given by Newell to Carrhae, and the absence of monograms common to both series, suggest that they may not have been struck at the same mint unless one assumes discontinuous production, for which neither precedent nor reason seems to exist.

The dry, somewhat rudimen- tary execution of these issues, and the fact that their stylistic elements appear to have been drawn from Seleucid mints of both east and west, tend to support their assignment to a Mesopotamian mint such as Nisibis, although the attribution must be considered tentative.

BABYLONIA: BABYLON Under Seleucus I, Babylon continued the issuance of tetradrachms of the Heracles-Zeus type which had been inaugurated during Alexander's lifetime, as well as the silver lion staters and fractions produced under Alexander's satrap Mazaeus but adorned with the Seleucid anchor.1 The date of the mint's decommissioning is uncertain, but in any event would have occurred before 275 B.C., when Antiochus decreed the removal of the city's civilian population to Seleucia on the Tigris.2 SELEUCUS I Obv.

Newell suggests that Babylon may have stopped issuing lion coinage in the 280's (?), and in any case before the accession of Antiochus I in 280 B.C. N. Waggoner, "The Early Alexander Coinage at Seleucia on the Tigris," ANSMX 15 (1969), p. 22, notes that Babylon's Alexan- der-type coinage appears to have ceased c. 305 B.C. Based on the likely sequence of the coins of Seleu- cus I at Susa, however, A. Houghton has proposed an opening date of the mint at Seleucia of c. 301 B.C. (see section on Seleucia on the Tigris, n. 1), which poses the problem of explaining the four-year gap in production of Attic weight coinage in Seleucid Babylonia during this period. 94 Arthur Houghton Collection BABYLONIA: SELEUCIA ON THE TIGBIS Founded by Seleucus I after 312 B.C.,1 Seleucia rapidly replaced Babylon as the administrative center of Babylonia, as well as the province's principal mint. Except for two brief periods when the city was under the control of the usurpers Molon (221-220 B.C.) and Timarchus (in Seleucia 161 B.C.), Seleucia struck coinage continuously and voluminous- ly through the reigns of Seleucus's successors until c. 140 B.C., when the city was seized by Mithradates I of Parthia.2 Seleucia was retaken for a short period by Antiochus VII during his eastern campaign against the Parthians in 131/0-130/9 B.C., then was lost again to the Parthian king Phraates II. SELEUCUS I Since the publication of ESM, re- investigation of the early Seleucid coinages of Seleucia by N. Waggoner ("The Early Alexander Coinage at Seleucia on the Tigris," ANSMN 15 [1969], pp. 21- 30) has indicated that Alexander-type silver and associated issues of Seleucus I (Newell's Series I, ESM 1-28; 936-45, below) were not struck until after the mint had begun production of its principal coinage, of the elephant quadriga and related types (Newell's Series II- ESM 29-133).

MEDIA: ECBATANA The mint of Ecbatana opened under Seleucus I late in the fourth century B.C., initially striking gold and silver coinage in Alexander's name, then issues with the name of Seleucus as king.1 With the exception of a two-year period when the usurper Timarchus held the city as his capital (142-140 B.C.) Ecbatana remained under continuous Seleucid control, for the most part maintaining a voluminous and often diverse coinage which ceased only when Mithradates I of Parthia seized the city in c. 148/7 B.C.2 SELEUCUS I Obv.

NORTHEAST: HECATOMPYLUS OR ARTACOANA Provenance, style, form of inscription and technique of manufacture point to the probabil- ity that the following series of coins was struck in the area of northeast Iran. The evidence for an attribution to either Hecatompylus or Artacoana is inconclusive, however, although NewelFs suggestion that their originating mint was in a provincial capital is reasonable.1 No coins which can be identified with this group are known to have been struck prior to the reign of Antiochus I, or later than that of Seleucus II.

Newell, ESM, p. 258, has pointed out that coins of the above type with the monogram A , which was continued on issues of Seleucus II, probably were struck under Antiochus II. The fact that ESM 727-28 share their obverse die with 1276 suggests that they were more likely issued by the latter king than by Antiochus I. SELEUCUS II 118 Arthur Houghton Collection NORTHEAST: BACTRA The mint of Bactra opened early in the third century, initially striking coinage during the joint reign of Seleucus I and his son Antiochus, but carrying only Seleucus's name.1 During the sole reign of Antiochus I and that of Antiochus II, gold staters and two very brief bronze issues (ESM 716 and 716A; see 1287, below) were added to the mint's production. The Seleucid era in Bactra ended at some point after 256 B.C., when Diodotus rebelled successfully and established an independent Greco-Bactrian kingdom.8 JOINT REIGN OF SELEUCUS I AND ANTIOCHUS I Obv.

ESM 675. 1 Newell, ESM, p. 230, suggests that the mint opened no earlier than 289 B.C., based upon the stylistic correspondence of Bactra's first elephant quadriga tetradrachms with similar issues of Se- leucia on the Tigris {ESM 69 and 71), struck c. 290-289 B.C. N. Waggoner's judgement that the elephant quadriga coinage inaugurated the output of the mint at Seleucia c. 305 ("The Early Alexan- der Coinage at Seleucia on the Tigris," ANSMN 15 (1969), p. 30, would entail an earlier opening date for Bactra, but this author's study of the early coinage of Seleucus I at Susa (Persepolis, p. 9) tends to support NewelFs chronology, which links the appearance of the elephant quadriga issues of Seleucia and elephant biga coins of Susa to the Battle of Ipsus. R. Hadley, "Royal Propaganda of Seleucus I and Lysimachus," JHS 94 (1974), p. 58, proposes a date after 285 B.C. for the commencement of mint operations at Bactra. An opening date as early as c. 293 B.C., which has been suggested by M. Mitchi- ner, Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian Coinage, 1 (London, 1975), p. 10, is not supported by the numismatic evidence. P. Bernard and O. Guillaume, "Monnaies inedites de la Bactriane grecque a AI Khanoum (Afghanistan)," RN 1980, pp. 17-19, have noted that a brick discovered in the excavations of Ai Khanoum carries the distinctive monogram A, and have advanced with reservation the possibility that coins of Seleucus I and Antiochus I with the same monogram may have been struck at AI Khanoum and not at Bactra. 2 Newell, ESM, p. 249, suggests that Diodotus's claim to full independence from the Seleucid Em- pire, and the appearance of his own name on coinage of Bactra, did not occur until after the death of Antiochus II in 247 B.C. A. Bellinger, "The Coins from the Treasure of the Oxus," ANSMN 10 (1962), pp. 61-63, supports Newell's chronology in rejecting J. Wolski's view that Diodotus did not assume the title of king in Bactra until 239, during the reign of Seleucus II. As Bellinger has pointed out, the absence of any known Bactrian coinage of the latter king is persuasive evidence supporting Newell's earlier dating for Diodotus's seizure of authority.
