Hemidrachm - Nambed

Persis — the region corresponding to modern Fars province in Iran — maintained a semi-autonomous dynastic coinage centuries after the Achaemenid collapse, with local frataraka and then kings issuing their own silver while nominally under Parthian suzerainty. Nambed is among the least documented rulers in this sequence; his placement in the 60–85 AD range rests primarily on stylistic and hoard evidence rather than any surviving textual record. The Alram corpus remains the foundational reference precisely because so few of these rulers left inscriptions or administrative documents that survive.
