<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 3147654, member: 81887"]Interesting idea. Looking closely at Sellwood and Sunrise, the last tetradrachms of Phraatakes alone (i.e. without his mother) are dated October of 1 BC, and the earliest tetradrachms featuring Musa are dated April of 1 AD. (There is a tetradrachm dated December 312 SE, but remember that the Parthian calendar starts in October, because of course it does, so December 312 SE is actually December of 2 BC, not 1 BC.) All the Sellwood type 57 tetradrachms of Phraatakes alone are dated 311 SE (various months), so you can get within about a year of the transition without spending thousands of dollars on a Musa tet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
