A. Alföldi, \*Röm. Mitt.\* L, 1935, pp. 139–42, thinks that, as regards Hellenistic kings, if the crown of rays be combined with the diadem it was not the Sun’s crown but a working of the Hvareno idea. One can think of cases where this might be true, \*e.g.\* the radiate king in a \*biga\* on a coin of the Iranian Maues; but I cannot believe it in the case of kings like Ptolemy III (whom he cites) or Antiochus IV, who did not adopt Iranian ideas. - [Previous: c10.s3.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.33) - [Next: c10.s3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.35) - [Up: c10.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c10.s3.34) · Pramāṇa
