ABSTRACT

In 2004 two Seleucid bronze coins of Alexander Balas were discovered during an archaeological excavation at Sorkh Dom-e Laki, Kouhdasht town, Luristan. Between 2001 and 2004, an expedition of the Iranian Centre for Archaeological Research (ICAR) excavated at Sorkh Dom-e Laki for five seasons, directed by Arman Shishehgar. Excavations mainly brought to the light remains of structures dating to the Iron Age II and III. Finds included two Seleucid bronze coins of Alexander Balas¹1 Only these two specimens were discovered on the site. minted at Ecbatana. The discovery of these issues for the first time in a documented archaeological context c.300 km from the presumed mint of origin represents a new addition to our knowledge concerning coin circulation during the Seleucid period in western Iran. This paper presents these two unpublished bronze specimens.

摘要

2004 年，在卢里斯坦 Kouhdasht 镇 Sorkh Dom-e Laki 的考古发掘中发现了两枚亚历山大·巴拉斯的塞琉古青铜币。2001 年至 2004 年间，伊朗考古研究中心 (ICAR) 的一支探险队在 Arman Shishehgar 的指导下在 Sorkh Dom-e Laki 进行了五个季节的挖掘工作。挖掘工作主要发现了可追溯到铁器时代 II 和 III 的结构遗迹。发现包括两枚亚历山大·巴拉斯^{1的塞琉古青铜币}1 在现场仅发现了这两个标本。在埃克巴塔纳铸造。在距推测的原产地约 300 公里的有记录的考古环境中首次发现这些问题，这代表了我们对伊朗西部塞琉古时期硬币流通知识的新补充。本文介绍了这两个未发表的青铜标本。
