    Well...ive bought another Parthian Drachm...this is a Pacorus II struck at Ekbatana. Pacorus II ruled as a king of Atropatene until his brother, Vologases I died and was succeded by his nephew Vologases II (78-80 AD) Pacorus then overthrew the new king, and ruled until his death in 105. He was then succeded by Osroes I who continued hostilities with Vologases III (who ruled in the East, such drama!) 20171117_191844.jpg 20171117_191949.jpg
