The land between Babylonia and Persis may be simply described as the Elymais. After Alexander's death the principle city of this region, Susa, and the surrounding lands were ruled by the Seleucids. Seleukia itself maintained a Greek city-state organization which is reflected in the fact that Kamnaskires I Megas Soter's coins depict him as a Greek prince in Seleucid style, with Greek legends. Over time however, the Greek influence in Elymais appears to have significantly diminished, with both Greek legends and portraiture becoming increasingly blundered, until finally we see the sixth king of this dynasty, Kamnaskires III and his wife and co-regent Anzaze, in distinct Parthian style.
