Re: Closer dates for Timarchus

Many thanks for taking your time with this, Bert.
I suppose the evidence for dating Timarchus de facto consists of the overstrikes
that Demetrius I made of his Babylonian coins. There is, I suppose, also a
reliable chronology for Demetrius' campaigns against the Maccabeans, which
should post-date his defeat of Timarchus.

All the best,
Jens Jakobsson

Jens, In SC 2, where he and his coinage are fully discussed, we dated his reign as king to perhaps 164-161, recognizing that his tenure as satrap began at some...	Oliver D. Hoover timarchos	Jul 15, 2009 2:05 pm
Many thanks, Oliver. As you figured out, it was primarily the Dioscuroi tetradrachms I was after, as they are relevant for the dating of Eukratides of Bactria....	Jens Jakobsson egil4870	Jul 16, 2009 10:48 am

Dear Arthur, Thank you for your kind reply. I had looked in SC of course, but had neglected to check the addendum. I will have to remember to do that in...	Dan K drkearnage	Jul 22, 2009 12:40 am
Daniel, there are many secrets in the addendum that do not appear in the main catalog. It is worth mining, Regards, Arthur In a message dated 7/21/2009 7:40:52...	AHA95@...	Jul 22, 2009 12:43 am

Dear Jens and Oliver, Timarchus is not mentioned in Babylonian dating formulae. Antiochus IV is simply succeeded by Antiochus V. Timarchus was never accepted...	Spek, R.J. van der robartus1949	Jul 23, 2009 12:39 pm
