<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2288681, member: 19463&quot;]To me, the interesting part of Parthian is the progression (or regression) of style from the early rather Greek looking coins to the later almost cartoon like coins.&nbsp; These guys were not Romans and did not follow the Roman ways of doing things.&nbsp; Most of their coins used the same types but there sure were a lot of variation on the theme.&nbsp; I maintain that they would be a thousand times more popular if more of the kings had written their name on the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Mithradates I</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458630[/ATTACH] </p><p>Orodes I</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458631[/ATTACH] </p><p>Phraates III</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458632[/ATTACH] </p><p>Phraates IV</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458633[/ATTACH] </p><p>Phraatakes</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458634[/ATTACH] </p><p>Mithradates IV</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458635[/ATTACH] </p><p>Vologases IV</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458636[/ATTACH] </p><p>Osroes II</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458637[/ATTACH] </p><p>Vologases VI</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458638[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else here interested in the bronzes?&nbsp; I have a few but the number of people into them is smaller.&nbsp; I also did not mention the tetradrachms which seem more Greek than Parthian probably because they were made for use in the far West.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vologases IV tetradrachm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]458640[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039; trying to start a run on Parthians in the after Christmas sales.&nbsp; Did it work?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
