<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob L., post: 8251587, member: 56976&quot;]Congrats on the interesting find, Parthicus. There seem to be a remarkable number of unpublished variants of Elymaeans, with the variant status often earned by some quirkiness of the dots and crescents - their number, location, or - in the case of crescents - their direction. I&#039;ve got a number of Elymaean variants, but this one below - which I published in KOINON, Volume I (since it was not in van&#039;t Haaff) - is my favorite. It might, however, be more properly called a newly discovered type rather than a variant.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1453928[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Phraates</b></p><p>BI tetradrachm, early to mid 2nd century AD</p><p>Van&#039;t Haaff 14.8.1-1 variant (unique; two dots below crossbars; long beard)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are two Prince B&#039;s. I believe the first may be a variant of VH 20.1.1-1A, since it doesn&#039;t appear that the die included an obverse anchor - although, perhaps, it might simply be off-flan.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1453930[/ATTACH] </p><p>AE drachm, 3rd century AD</p><p>Van&#039;t Haaff 20.1.1-1A (possibly a variant with no anchor)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1453932[/ATTACH] </p><p>AE drachm, 3rd century AD</p><p>Van’t Haaff 20.1.1-1B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
