<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob L., post: 2541192, member: 56976&quot;]The backstory: Musa was a scheming and incestuous Roman concubine who was given by Augustus to the Parthian King Phraates IV during a period in which the empires weren’t warring. She and her son Phraataces poisoned Phraates, then married each other and took over the Parthian throne as co-rulers from 2 BC until being overthrown by the Parthian nobility in 4 AD. During their joint reign mother/son/husband/wife issued coins that show both of their images.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
