Commentary


Casque à visière simple avec un grand couvre nuque et des mèches ondulées sortant du casque. Nous n’avons pas relevé de liaison de coin pertinente avec les autres variétés. Semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Semble inédit avec ces monoagrammes.
Single-visor helmet with a large nape of the neck and wavy locks emerging from the helmet. We did not observe any relevant corner connection with the other varieties. Appears much rarer than general works suggest. Seems to be unpublished with these monograms

Historical background


SYRIA - SELEUKID KINGDOM - SELEUKOS II KALLINIKOS

(246-226 BC)

Seleucus II, the eldest son of Antiochus II and Laodice, acceded to the throne the same year as Ptolemy III in 246 BC, coinciding with the start of the Third Syrian War. Peace between Lagides and Seleucids was signed that year. Seleucus II, beaten by his brother at Ancyra in 239 BC, began a campaign against the Parthians in 231, then died in 226 BC, victim of a fall from his horse after an insignificant reign of twenty years.
