[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8344709, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gentlemen, Last month I bought a Parthian drachm in an auction. I see Parthian coins in almost every auction and adding an example was one of my secondary targets. I liked this one, the price was decent, so why not. [ATTACH=full]1480117[/ATTACH] This is not my area at all so identifying it has been a challenge. I found this excellent website that helped a lot ... but I am still unsure about my coin. [URL]https://www.parthia.com/parthia_ident_drachm.htm[/URL] Auction house attribution - Vologases III AD 105-147. But from what I understand, the square beard indicates a different ruler. [URL]https://www.parthia.com/parthia_ident_drachm_square.htm[/URL] Artabanus II? (type 63) Any help from specialists is greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
