<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob L., post: 2824352, member: 56976&quot;]This is certainly one of the frustrations associated with collecting Parthians.&nbsp; Attributions can be a moving target.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the attribution changes over the past two decades have been posited by Dr. G. R. F. Assar, perhaps the world&#039;s foremost authority on Parthian coinage since Sellwood&#039;s passing.&nbsp; To be fair, he has published his reasoning for each reassignment, as far as I know.&nbsp; The challenge is that his rationales are buried in multiple articles across different periodicals.&nbsp; Most are available online here:</p><p><a href="http://parthian-empire.com/articleListPage.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://parthian-empire.com/articleListPage.php" rel="nofollow">http://parthian-empire.com/articleListPage.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As of a few years back Assar was supposedly going to continue work that Sellwood had been engaged in, toward a 3rd edition of <u>The Coinage of Parthia</u>.&nbsp; It would be nice to have all of the reassignments in one neat package like that.&nbsp; But I have not heard any updates and I suspect that the project is at a halt or cancelled, especially with the <u>Sylloge Nummorum Parthicorum</u> underway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
