<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob L., post: 2015399, member: 56976&quot;]Nice acquisitions, Doug.&nbsp; I agree the first is likely Artabanus III.&nbsp; For me the only other possibility would be Gotarzes II (Sellwood type 65.33)...and I only say that because the primary distinguishing characteristic, the royal wart, would be in the forehead area of the obverse, where yours is worn.&nbsp; The differences in the reverse legends between the two types is negligible, and in fact yours has sort of an amalgam of the two listed in Sellwood.&nbsp; The beard on yours is certainly too short to call it an Artabanus II.</p><p><br /></p><p>Curiously the top line of the reverse legend on your coin is missing, as is half of the line at left.&nbsp; Perhaps a striking error of some sort, or a celator who got distracted?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
