Seleucid Kingdom Lot of 3x Æ including Alexander II

Seleucid Kingdom. Lot of 3x Æ including Alexander II, Antiochos VIII & Antiochos IX. Item details: — Alexander II Zabinas (128-123 BC). Æ (Bronze, 20.7 mm, 6.47 g). Obv: Diademed and radiate head right. Rev: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ - ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ. Two intertwined cornucopias; symbols/monograms across fields. Reference: Hoover: Royal and Civic Issues, type 1174. — Antiochos VIII Epiphanes (125-96 BC). Æ (Bronze, 17.6 mm, 5.49 g). Obv: Radiate and diademed head of Antiochos VIII facing right. Rev: ΒΑΣΙΛEΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥΣ. Eagle standing left, with sceptre over shoulder, date in exergue. Reference: Hoover: Royal and Civic Issues, type 1212. — Antiochos IX Eusebes (116-95 BC). Æ (Bronze, 20 mm, 5.68 g). Obv: Diademed head to right. Rev: BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY / ΦIΛOΠATOPOΣ. Winged thunderbolt. Date in exergue. Reference: Hoover: Royal and Civic Issues, type 1248. Alexander II Zabinas rose as a rival claimant during a succession crisis, but Antiochos VIII defeated him and restored his own rule. That victory brought little stability: Antiochos IX, Antiochos VIII’s half-brother and rival, later contested the kingdom, whose prolonged civil war divided territory, drained royal power and hastened the fragmentation of central authority.
