Additional information

Seleukos III reigned for barely three years before being poisoned — most likely by members of his own army during a campaign in Asia Minor around 222 BC. His coinage is correspondingly scarce, and Antioch on the Orontes issues from his reign represent a brief window of production before his brother Antiochos III assumed power and dramatically expanded the empire's mint output.
