A rare variety has an elephant on the reverse instead of Apollo (B. M.
Cat., Pl. IX. 1). The standard portrait of Antiochus III is furnished by
the dated bronze coins struck in Phoenicia. There is, however, great
variety in the portraits on the coins assigned to this king, and conse-
quently much uncertainty as to their correct attribution ; but, con-
sidering the wide extent of his dominions, and the length of his reign,
this is not to be wondered at. The bronze coins. are numerous and
varied in type (B. M. Cat., Pl. IX). There are also certain coins which
appear to have been struck in honour of Antiochus III at Carystus in
Euboea and in Aetolia (B. M. Cat., Pl. XXVIII. 2-4).
Molon, b. c. 222-220, was a governor or satrap of Media, who revolted
from Antiochus and struck bronze coins1 in his own name with the in-
scription BAZIAED.Z M0AD.N0Z.
