<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 7362133, member: 83845&quot;]This write up simply reminds me of just how difficult Parthian coins are to understand for a generalist like me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Very fun article [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] . One item not considered in your write up that I thought about was some kind of temporary or emergency issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, the early 2nd century saw a pretty serious incursion from the Romans under Trajan.&nbsp; Could the good silver have been directed to the armies in the west with the eastern mints temporarily left to fend for themselves until the threat passed. Since Nisa is in the east relatively near the steppe another thought would be a nomadic incursion leading to the need for a lot of coins quickly with the result of local debasement until the situation stabilized.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cool coins and nice write up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
