<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1093392, member: 19463&quot;]I believe it is the other way around.&nbsp; The Parthians did not use tets but made some in the western part of their realm for the use of subject people there who were into that system.&nbsp; There were several weight standards of these coins and I am not good at such matters (there is a Yahoo group for people who are).&nbsp; Athenian tets were 16g of good silver; the worst were 12g of not so pure silver.&nbsp; The way the rest fit together in a system made moneychanging a profitable occupation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
