Tetradrachm - Antiochos Hierax Alexandria Troas

正面描述	Bare-headed, youthful male effigy in right-facing profile, rendered in the Hellenistic idealized portrait tradition and identified as Antiochos Hierax. The hair is elaborately styled with wavy locks swept back from the temples and bound by a broad diadem adorned with upswept wings at the brow, a distinctive dynastic attribute of the Seleucid prince. The modeling of the facial features — strong jaw, fine nose, and slightly parted lips — is executed with high relief and accomplished engraving characteristic of the finest Seleucid die-cutting. The flan is broad and irregular, with no legend on the obverse, the field remaining plain.

附加信息	Antiochos Hierax — "the Hawk" — struck these coins while fighting a civil war against his own brother, Seleukos II, after their mother Laodike manipulated the succession following the Third Syrian War. Alexandria Troas served as a strategically useful mint for a pretender operating largely in Asia Minor, where Hierax relied heavily on Galatian mercenaries whose demands nearly bankrupted his campaign. He was eventually driven out of Asia Minor by Attalos I of Pergamon and died a fugitive, reportedly killed by Galatian brigands around 226 BC.
