| Description |
As the successors to Alexander the great, the
Seleucid dynasty ruled the Syrian empire for
many centuries. At the crossroads of east and
west, the Seleucid courts were famous for
their luxury and splendor. This silver coin,
bearing the image of one of the more
interesting Seleucid kings, evokes the
grandeur of that era. Even after centuries of
change, such a coin still radiates the
impression of power and authority. As we hold
it in our hands today, we connect directly with
the richness of that vanished world.
