<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 8267189, member: 110504&quot;]...Terrific example, [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] --and I never noticed (even with a copy of Gobl, which The Same guy on the forum was kind enough to give me) that this early, the Sasanians were still issuing &#039;tetradrachms&#039; of any description.&nbsp; Makes you wonder whether they were looking at the contemporaneous Roman tets on one hand, and the vast number of Hellenistic ones, nearer the composition and module of Sasanian drachms /drahms, on the other.&nbsp; Likely as not, they were still in active circulation closer to home.&nbsp; It&#039;s easy to suppose that, in real time, the two series registered as completely different denominations, historical backstory notwithstanding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
