Commentary


Monnayage posthume au nom et au type d’Antiochus Ier Soter, mais frappé au tout début du règne d’Antiochus II Theos. Ce type était déjà attribué à Antiochus II par E. T. Newell, tandis qu’E. Babelon penchait plutôt pour Antiochus Ier. Aujourd’hui les auteurs les plus récents dont A. Houghton donne ce type à Antiochus II. Ce type se rencontre dans plusieurs trésors : base de Sardes (IGCH 1299), Meydancikkale (Gülnar II, 2931).
Posthumous coinage in the name and type of Antiochus I Soter, but struck at the very beginning of the reign of Antiochus II Theos. This type was already attributed to Antiochus II by ET Newell, while E. Babelon was more inclined towards Antiochus I. Today, the most recent authors, including A. Houghton, attribute this type to Antiochus II. This type is found in several hoards: Sardis base (IGCH 1299), Meydancikkale (Gülnar II, 2931)
