Parthian Tetradrachms
Featured are are some Silver Tetradrachms of the 1st to 3rd Century A.D. Parthia was an implacable enemy of Rome, and unlike most of Rome's enemies, was never subdued or conquered by the Romans, in large part due to the Parthian's 'horse archer' tactics, which were well suited to the open plains of the Parthian Empire's territory.

The Kings of the Arascid Dynasty were philohellenic (lovers of greek culture) and their coins reflected this. The seated figure is reminiscent of the seated Zeus figure that was a common feature of the reverse of Alexander the Great and later Tetradrachms from earlier eras, the script is also Greek.
