Commentary


Ce monnayage est pratiquement municipal. Seule la tête radiée permet de l’attribuer à Antiochus IV. La précision de Daphné au revers rappelle que le roi séleucide fit déposer une statue du dieu olmypien dans le temple d’Apollon.
This coinage is practically municipal. Only the radiated head allows it to be attributed to Antiochus IV. The precision of Daphne on the reverse recalls that the Seleucid king had a statue of the Olmypian god placed in the temple of Apollo
