Two Seleukid Reattributions, a New Identification and a Historical Note, Based on Recent Coin Finds from Tel Iẓṭabba (Nysa-Skythopolis)

Abstract

The following paper suggests a new mint attribution for two Seleukid types (SC II/I: Nos. 2242,
2388), based on new material derived from archaeological excavations at the site of ancient
Nysa-Skythopolis (Bet Sheʼan). In addition, a new identification of a female figure on another
Seleukid type (SC II/I: No. 2379) is suggested, and a note concerning the changing fortunes of
the warring siblings Antiochos VIII and IX.
