Coin of Seleukos II, Apamea? c. 246

Editor: Here we have a coin of Seleukos II, likely from Apamea. It's small, worn, and yet... there's something about it that feels monumental. What stories do you see hidden in its patina? Curator: Oh, absolutely! It's like holding a tiny echo of an empire, isn't it? I imagine the hand of a soldier, a merchant, perhaps even Seleukos himself. Each scratch, each imperfection whispers of transactions, of journeys, of power shifting hands. It’s a direct link to a world so different, yet fundamentally the same as ours. Editor: A link to the past… I hadn't thought of it that way. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! Every object has a story to tell if you're willing to listen.
