God of Prophecy

Seleukos II, ruled 246-226 B.C. Silver Tetradrachm from the Antioch mint. The coin itself must have been

minted around 240-232 B.C. The reverse shows a nude Apollo leaning against a tripod and holding an

arrow. The inscription reads, “King Seleukos.” See E. Newell and O. Mørkholm, The Coinage of the Eastern

Seleucid Mints from Seleucus I to Antiochus III (New York, 1977) 10001, pl. XXIII.11.
