[QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 3147571, member: 74834"]So far, I have not found the coin of Phraatakes that I wanted. You might think it futile, but some of the tetradrachms of Phraatakes were issued mentioning year and [I]month[/I], and these are approaching the start of our Christian Era as well as possible. December of the year 1 BC or January of the year 1 AD, wouldn't you want a coin like that? According to many scholars, due to various errors, Jesus may have been born as early as 6 BC, or maybe a little later, naturally! I don't want to tread in this. But what's for sure is the beginning of the Christian [I]Era[/I] in January, 1 AD. Or BIT, 312 according to the Seleucian era. Still cherishing some hope I will finally find a coin of AIT (311 = 1 BC) or BIT (312 = 1 AD). (There's no Year Zero.)[/QUOTE]
