While the legends can help or confirm, most Parthian rulers are easily separated by their portraits and distinctive head gear. Very few put their own names on the coins preferring to use the dynastic name Arsakes and a string of titles in Greek which became increasingly butchered as time went on. </p><p>I see no reason to doubt these coins. None of these are particularly rare (which probably explains how we both have the same ones). &amp;nbsp;However, even common decent Parthian silver sells for reasonably good prices (not all that different from Roman denarii).&nbsp; These are not particularly high grade but just nice average, collectible coins. </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/parthar.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/parthar.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/parthar.html</a></p><p>I would prefer you use the link to my pages in their current forms rather than the old ancients.info address which I will delete if I can ever figure out how.&nbsp; In this case, the pages are still identical but I am not updating pages on the old site.&nbsp; If I could get in to upload, I could delete the site and would have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
