Excellent! My only horse, a Parthian tet of Artabanos II, 10-38 AD: [ATTACH]
Perhap new username idea: Aleg-Rodan?
Great horses, all! I must admit, though, that I'm trying to figure out how that giant Japanese pteranodon of Alegandron's found its way into this...
Great pick-up's, Doug. Congrats.
I believe this may be a Kanishka II (c. 225 - 240 AD) Göbl Kushan 1017 type

Thanks, Valentinian (and Parthicus)! If I'm not mistaken, I believe the Aramaic legends on those Kamnaskires-Orodes tets translates as something...
Hey, thanks, TIF!
Yes, Parthicus! Some of those guys of the Arsacid line – both in Parthia proper and in Elymais – had wacky, puffy tripartite hair. Some of my...
