Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm - Vologases IV (147-191) coin from the Parthian Empire is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Vologases IV, while the reverse side depicts a seated goddess, likely Artemis, with a crescent moon and a star above her head. This fusion of Greek and Persian elements reflects the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Parthian Empire's reign.
