Before Alexander, the Near East was ruled by dynasts who could draw
on the significant resources and power base of their homeland, but
this was not the case for the Seleukids who never controlled their
original homeland of Macedon. The Early Seleukids, their Gods and
their Coins argues that rather than projecting an imperialistic
Greek image of rule, the Seleukid kings deliberately produced
images that represented their personal power, and that were
comprehensible to the majority of their subjects within their own
cultural traditions. These images relied heavily on the syncretism
between Greek and local gods, in particular their ancestor Apollo.
The Early Seleukids, their Gods and their Coins examines how the
Seleukids, from Seleukos I to Antiochos IV, used coinage to
propagandise their governing ideology. It offers a valuable
resource to students of the Seleukids and of Hellenistic kingship
more broadly, numismatics, and the interplay of ancient Greek
religion and politics.
