[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 3921703, member: 99456"]Here's another Arsakes XVI 30.16 with a very different portrait from the OP coin. [ATTACH=full]1033831[/ATTACH] Parthia, [B]Arsakes XVI[/B], AR Drachm, [URL='http://www.parthia.com/parthia_mints.htm#Rhagae']Rhagae[/URL] mint [B]Ref:[/B] Sellwood 30.16 Some of this is what I find interesting (as much as frustrating/confusing), following footnotes and sources to see "what evidence" is supporting the revised story line. I also find the numbering of Arsakes as XVI different than what I would expect... Thanks, I didn't realize there were such differences between 1st and 2nd Edition. Good looking coins, it's a slippery slope, I started with a Septimius PART MAX with captives... Yes, between Sellwood and Sunrise (Assar) there is a renumbering of the Mithradates: Sellwood 40 (Mithradates III) -> Sunrise (Mithradates IV) Sellwood 41 (Mithradates III) -> Sunrise (Mithradates IV) Sellwood 44 (Orodes II) -> Sunrise (Mithradates IV) Sellwood 82 (Mithradates IV) -> Sunrise (Mithradates V) [ATTACH=full]1033821[/ATTACH] left to right (missing IV by Assar's numbering): [LIST] [*]Mithradates I 164-132 BC [*]Mithradates II 121-91 BC [*]Mithradates III 87-80 BC [*]Mithradates V AD 129-140 [/LIST] [URL='http://www.parthia.com/parthia_corr.htm']This map/cross-reference[/URL] from Chris Hopkins is very useful - as is the site in general.[/QUOTE]
