Group 1: Ptolemy I created a new god, Serapis (depicted on coin in link) in an effort to blend elements of Greek and Egyptian religion. The Ptolemies used this type of religious syncretism (the blending of different religious practices and beliefs) to gain acceptance as rulers. Serapis was depicted Greek in appearance but with Egyptian trappings/ iconography.

• Coin of Seleucus, depicts Zeus wearing a laurel - symbolism of Greek legitimacy. Elephants symbolise a victory/peace treaty with Chandragupta, who gave him 500 elephants.

An example of Persian pottery, and its practicality over storytelling, it appears to still be in use during the Seleucid period
