An unpublished large weight naming Antiochos VIII Epiphanes (Grypos)
Lot 3947
SELEUKID KINGS OF SYRIA. Antiochos VIII Epiphanes (Grypos), 121/0-97/6 BC. Weight of 1 Mina (Lead, 92x98 mm, 686.00 g), Satyros, agoranomos, SE 200 = 113/2 BC. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ AИ/TIOXOY - ΦΙΛOMH/TOPOΣ ETOYΣ / Σ - MИA / AΓOPAИOMOИ/TOΣ ΣATYPOY Seleukid anchor. Rev. Latticework design. Unpublished and of great interest. Holed and with some scuffs, otherwise, very fine.

From a European collection, formed before 2005.

The reading of the date on this important royal weight is not entirely certain, but a plain 200 = 113/2 BC seems the most likely. The curious lead peace attached to the reverse was perhaps added later to adjust the weight to a modification in the weight standard
