Description

Revue numismatique - Année 1987 - Volume 6 - Numéro 29 - Pages 21-24
Résumé. — A rare bronze issue of the Seleucid king Demetrius I, carrying his portrait and employing serrated flans, is proposed to have been produced at the mint of Seleucia on the Tigris. In support of this attribution, evidence involving consideration of typological characteristics, metrology and provenance is presented. These factors are compared, in a contrasting manner, with characteristics of the contemporary royal bronze coinage issued at Antioch on the Orontes.

Résumé

Résumé. — A rare bronze issue of the Seleucid king Demetrius I, carrying his portrait and employing serrated flans, is proposed

to have been produced at the mint of Seleucia on the Tigris. In support of this attribution, evidence involving consideration of

typological characteristics, metrology and provenance is presented. These factors are compared, in a contrasting manner, with

characteristics of the contemporary royal bronze coinage issued at Antioch on the Orontes.
