  1. I would say it's either 1179/1178, both are basically the same denomination. I also wouldn't rule out 1202. The size doesn't matter as much being 12 or 14mm but the weights match. Yes that is my site.
  2. What is the size/weight? Here is your first option. Unfortunately I haven't had time to get past Seleucus II.
  3. Maybe this will become a ongoing pile on thread. My latest Antiochus IV Epiphanes Mint: Antioch on the Orontes Denomination C 173 to 169 BC Obvs: Radiate and diademed head of Antiochus right. Revs: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY on right, ΘEoY EΠIΦANoYΣ on left. Aegis with gorgoneion in center. AE 15mm, 4.00g Ref: SC 1411; HGC 9, 688(R2) Allegedly these are part of a special unknown emission and possibly influenced Antiochus from his time in Rome as a hostage.
  4. Nah I don't see a resemblance
  5. With that obverse I would lean towards sb 1004. The others have a standing Constans II. Yours also appears to be over struck on another follis.
  6. Correct Philadelphus only has 2 bronze coins known, both with Athena reverse. The link to ANS has an incorrect attribution. The pictured coin is Antiochus Dionysos. The old BMC catalog has some out dated attributions which are now 140 years old! Regarding the title ΚΑΛΛΙΝΙΚΟΥ, that belongs to Antiochus XII. It refers to his title from 2 mints meaning philometor Euergetes Callinicus.
  7. Jerusalem 🤯 Constans II 644 to 645 AD Mint: Ravenna AE Follis Obvs: DN CONSTANTINVS PP. Bust facing, wearing crown and chalamys, and holding globus cruciger. Revs: M between ANNO and numerals II II. Cross above, RAV in exergue. 20x26mm, 3.7g Ref: SB 1138, Gr.--, DOC 206 @Nerosmyfavorite68 I don't belive that is a sb1006.
  8. That's quite the trial. As I recall as of a few years ago dealers must register their inventory in order to be able to sell, putting a lot of them out of business. Nice tets in this post! Antiochos VIII Mint: Sidon AR Tetradrachm Year 197, 116/115 BC Obvs: Diademed head of Antiochos right within fillet border. Revs: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY EΠIФANOYΣ, Zeus Ouranios standing left, holding star and scepter. Outer left, ΣIΔΩ IEP Σ٩P in three lines above monogram. Date in exergue, all within wreath. 28x30mm, 16.22g Ref: SC 2330.2; HGC 9, 1197g(R2)
  9. Yes class N, only one other bidder noticed it.
  10. I found this mis identified on ebay.
  11. I don't recall seeing one. Houghton has the same scale. I have the more common one. Antiochos VIII Mint: Antioch 97 BC Obvs: Head of Antiochos right radiate within dotted border. Revs: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY EΠIΦANOYΣ, filleted double cornucopiae. PE monogram outer left, grain ear inner left. AE 20mm, 8.8g Ref: SNG Isr 2560; SC 2313.1b; HGC 9, 1213(S)
  12. Congrats of the variety of kings Robi. Seleucus I Nicator Possibly Antioch on the Orontes 300 to 281 BC Obvs:Turbaned bearded Dionysus seated left on rock holding ancus (elephant goad) in hand. Dotted border. Revs: BAΣIΛIEΩΣ above ΣEΛEYKOY below, horned elephant head right. Ξ in exergue, dotted border.

AE 23mm, 8.21g Ref: SC 1554.2a; HGC 9, 677(R2) Antiochus XI Epiphanes Philadelphus Antioch on the Orontes 94/93 BC Obvs: Diademed head of Antiochus right clean shaven, dotted border.

AE 15x17mm, 3.75g Ref: SC 642; HGC 9, 296(R3)
  13. The current market is heavily manipulated and not anywhere close to reality. Price is artificially held low by creating fake AV/AR spot trading in LBMA and others and rehypothecated. It's so bad JP Morgan is slapped with a billion dollar fine without blinking.
  14. That is a great type made after the battle of Ipsus utilizing those elephants. Apamea was certainly the hub for the elephantarchs. All of these pieces tie together nicely. Seleucus I Apamea on the Axios 300 to 281 BC Obvs: Elephant right, dotted border. Revs: BAΣIΛIEΩΣ ΣEΛEYKOY, bridled & horned horse head left. Horizontal anchor below. AE 19x20mm, 8.57g SC 35; HGC 9, 79(R1)
