You really get a good sense of the individual character through each Seleucid coin, each with their own story of intrigue. That’s why I love collecting them.

My favourite successor kingdom, maybe tied with the Bactrians and Indo-Greeks!

[@Chaika1974]

11:45 I find it interesting that the successors of Alexander were depicted in such a realistic way, despite being autocratic and having a strong inclination for apotheosis, while the opposite happened under the Romans, with emperors started being portrayed in an increasingly abstract way after they became autocrats after the 3rd century AD

Well done and very helpful. I share your appreciation for the coins of Ptolemy.

[@caracallaavg]

The Galatian statue is absolutely stunning. Thanks for the mini lecture, Leo!

[@Stivont]

Got a Alexander drachm coming in Monday, perfect video to scratch the itch till it’s here

[@bratrcunik4571]

I have some nice Hellenistic coins and I'm glad to have them, but the mints of the independent Greek cities are much more diverse in terms of coin motifs.

[@TheWinstonDouble]

You're an excellent educator and speaker. I've learned so much from your videos.

[@donklaser217]

The first coin in the video is his profile picture

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

You are right! :)

[@DarthStacker]

Do you own all the coins you show on your channel? If so, not only are you the most knowledgeable person I know in this hobby, but you have BY FAR the largest collection.

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

Only a very few coins featured in my videos are my own, most are from fellow collectors who kindly film me their coins :) If its something fancy, flashy or expensive, its absolutely not mine 😆

[@monedaslimpias]

Excelentes monedas, excelente vídeo

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

Gracias Oscar! Deberias enseñar un dia tu coleccion de monedas griegas tambien!

[@monedaslimpias]

@@ClassicalNumismatics tengo poco a poco moneda griega, pero antes de mostrarla ya sabes que hay que estudiarla bien. Un abrazo

[@scoon2117]

Do you have any 4th century bc Sinopean coins

[@neptunesmarsh]

Ptolemaic coinage, outside of some impressive gold issues (which you have shown in videos already), is terribly repetitive. Ptolemy's portrait and the eagle, w/ few exceptions, are the only images until Octavian takes over; and both the portrait and eagle only degrade in his successors' coins. The Seleucids, however, take the gold medal for variety from one reign to another, until Pompey shows up!

[@youarenotmadenough655]

Are these reproductions?

[@ClassicalNumismatics]

Unless specified, all coins featured are authentic :)
