The anchor drachms of Demetrios II were all struck at the same mint, probably located at Seleukeia in Pieria. Demetrios held court at this important Mediterranean seaport before his eastern campaign in 139 B.C., and it was also the resting place of Seleukos I, whose personal badge was the anchor and whose remains were interred in the city.
