Ian Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Nice dark toned example of early Mithradates II silver drachm (nephew of Mithradates I). A nice gVF portrait coin. Mithradates II added `epiphanos' into the legends on his coinage (`god manifest'). Let's face it, apparently there was no place for any form of humility in ancient Parthia.......

Art1.2 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Super coins Ian. I'm guessing that ego-maniacs tended to rise to the top far more than the humble did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
