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...
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....

Dear Jens and Oliver, Timarchus is not mentioned in Babylonian dating formulae. Antiochus IV is simply succeeded by Antiochus V. Timarchus was never accepted...
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...

Dear readers, I am confused by what I assume is some subtlety of Latin phonology that escapes me: The full name of the Roman consul who in 168 BCE famously ...
Dear Ron: the answer is simple. Originally the Latin alphabet had no G (the G is nothing more than a C with an inversed gamma on it). The C was the gamma, and...
I won't attempt here to go into too much detail. But that C must have originally had something of the sound of a G, especially when examined in the light of...
