<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 8294868, member: 81887&quot;]<font size="4">I agree that the letters behind the bust on late Parthian tetradrachms are almost certainly mint officina markers.&nbsp; But that still doesn&#039;t explain: why was only officina B at Seleukia making tetradrachms for Vologases VI?&nbsp; Was officina A specialized in the bronze coinage at that time?&nbsp; Or was only officina B active (which begs the question, if there&#039;s only one officina why do you need to mark it on the coins)?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know any good way to answer these questions, sadly lots of information gets lost over the centuries and is unrecoverable...</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
