NÖRDLICHE LEVANTE. SELEUKIDEN.
Antiochos IV. Theos Epiphanes, 175 - 164 v. Chr. AE Großbronze ø 33mm (32,58g). Mzst. Antiochia am Orontes (?). Vs.: Kopf des Zeus mit Lorbeerkranz n. r. Rs.: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ / ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ / ΘΕΟΥ / ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥ, Adler mit geschlossenen Schwingen auf Blitzbündel n. r. SC 1413; Newell, SMA 59; SNG Spaer 979.
R! ss
Series of three bronze denominations was struck by Antiochos with Egyptian-style eagle reverses, undoubtedly to mark his victory over Ptolemy VI. Newell, in SMA, attributes the pieces to Antioch, based on stylistic grounds and site finds. Noeske suggests a southern mint, possibly Pelusium on the Egyptian border. Weiser sees two distinct series, one from Antioch, the other from Pelusium, but does not explain how to distinguish the two.
