Ask and thou shall receive... I see your thread doesn't just cover the successor generals of Alexander but rather Hellenistic culture of the former Alexandrian Empire. Alexander III Lifetime Tetradrachm s. BC 325 Pella, Macedonia  Antiochus VII Eurgetes Tetradrachm s. BC 138-129 Antioch, Syria  Antiochus VIII Grypos Tetradrachm s.BC 121-96 Antioch, Syria  Demetrios I Soter Tetradrachm s. BC 187-150 Antioch, Syria  We could go all night with this  I still have the Greco Bactrians and Indo-Greeks to go....and one of them is square! |

 A lifetime issue! All of those are amazing coins, but that lifetime issue is astonishing! Edited by Augustus Maximus

AM I have a more color realist photo of the lifetime. I dont know why I had that photo, I think I was messing with color vibrancy or something. Still not perfect. Thank the lifetime coins always get people. Notice the Antiochus VII is also a lifetime coin, not one of those Anatolian posthumous issues...   |

I have a few more but they have been posted here so many times I'm getting tired of posting them so I'm sure everyone else is tired of seeing them.
