<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3014220, member: 81887&quot;]Well, if the new book uses and revises Sellwood&#039;s excellent typology, I think he should still be listed as co-author.&nbsp; Lots of textbooks continue to bear the names of original authors on revised editions well after their demise, as a mark of respect for their contribution and as an honest attribution of hard work.&nbsp; The revised work could be referred to as &quot;Sellwood and X&quot; instead of just &quot;Sellwood Third Edition&quot;, but the only way I would want to see his name gone is if the work completely abandons his numbering system (which would be a mistake, in my opinion.)&nbsp; Of course, there is the new work of SNP (Sylloge Nummorum Parthicorum) of which only volume 7 (Vologases I-Pacorus II) has so far been published, but there is still a need for a good one-volume attribution guide like Sellwood&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main force behind most of the new attributions is Dr. G.R.F. Assar, who has published his conclusions (and the logic behind them) in various articles, but so far no book.&nbsp; You can find downloadable PDFs of most of his articles here, if you want to spend the time to dig through them:</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>My understanding (which could very well be wrong) is that Artabanos I is actually the personal name of the king formerly known only as Arsakes II.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure where a putative new Artabanos II comes from.&nbsp; I think your drachm (Sellwood 24 type) is still considered Mithradates II, but the tall tiara type (S. 29) may have changed.&nbsp; I understand that the published Sunrise collection book includes all the latest attributions (though not all of the reasoning behind them); I just ordered a copy from CNG (on sale for $125), and will be posting a full review in the near future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
