Drachm - Mithridates I Seleucia

正面描述	Diademed and draped bust of Mithridates I facing right, wearing a distinctive bashlyk-style soft headdress with a prominent upward-curving tiara decorated with vertical striations. The king is depicted with a short beard, rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition. The portrait is executed in medium relief on a plain field with no surrounding legend, consistent with early Parthian coinage style.

附加信息	Mithridates I transformed the Parthian kingdom from a minor successor-state satrapy into an empire spanning Iran and Mesopotamia, seizing Media around 148 BC and Seleucia-on-the-Tigris — the former Seleucid administrative capital — sometime before 141 BC. His coinage from Seleucia marks a deliberate political statement: by striking at that mint, he was appropriating the infrastructure and prestige of the Hellenistic world he had just displaced. Sellwood 13.10 belongs to a drachm series associated with his later reign, after the Seleucid king Demetrius II was captured in 138 BC and held as a dynastic hostage for nearly a decade.
