<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8158705, member: 128351&quot;]May we consider Greek a Parthian prince who was pro-Roman, had lived in Rome and very probably could speak Greek like Plutarch himself ? After all, Parthian coins are traditionally considered Greek coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423793[/ATTACH] </p><p>Trajan, sestertius, rev. REX PARTHIS DATVS / S C. The man standing at the foot of the tribunal is Parthamaspates. He was one of the sons of the Great King Osroes but lived in Rome. When Trajan invaded Mesopotamia, he crowned him King of Parthia, a client-king. But when Trajan decided to withdraw, Osroes&#039; troops returned at once like Talibans and Parthamaspates&#039; pro-Roman regime was toppled. He managed to take refuge in Roman controlled land and was crowned, probably by Hadrian, king of Osrhoene, a buffer-state between the two empires around the city of Edessa (modern Sanliurfa, eastern Turkey). </p><p><br /></p><p>NEXT : Edessa[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
