Details: Parthian Vologases III (AD 105-147) Drachm Obverse: Bare-headed bust left with pointed beard; wearing diadem with loop at top; earring visible; border of dots Reverse: Archer seated right on throne holding bow; blundered Greek legend Mint: Ecbatana (undated) Catalog: Sellwood Vologases III Type 78 - Size 20mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlueke Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 You could look in the catalogue data for my coins? The standard reference for Parthian coins is cheap. You could buy it and do your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
