<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 26710458, member: 81887&quot;]I&#039;ll start with my avatar coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s a tetradrachm of the Parthian king Artabanos IV (c.10- 38 CE).&nbsp; With his long, shaggy, hair, drooping mustache, and beard, he could be a member of a late 60s/early 70s band.&nbsp; The royal diadem he wears looks like a headband, which just adds to the look. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1705228[/ATTACH]</p><p>Another Parthian king, Vologases V (c. 191-208 CE), takes the prize for silly haircuts.&nbsp; The large tufts of hair on the sides and top of his head make him look like a French poodle.&nbsp; (This photo is two separate coins, a drachm on the left and a tetradrachm on the right.&nbsp; The drachm is the sillier portrait.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1705229[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
