Parthian Kingdom. Phraatakes (2 BC-AD 4). Drachm - Mithradatkart (No reserve price)
The Parthian Kingdom was a major Iranian political and cultural power from 247 BC to AD 224, controlling vast territories between the Roman and Indian Empires. Phraatakes, ruling roughly 2 BC to AD 4, issued drachms, silver coins that were central to Parthian economy and trade. The obverse typically depicts the ruler’s portrait, while the reverse may show deities such as Mithradatkart, reflecting syncretic religious beliefs combining Iranian and Hellenistic elements. These coins provide valuable historical and artistic evidence concerning Parthian rulers and their interactions with neighboring cultures.
