| Additional information |
Persis — the heartland of ancient Fars province — retained its own dynastic coinage long after the Achaemenid collapse, a remarkable continuity of local kingship under Parthian suzerainty. The ruler Nambed is among the least documented of the Persid kings, known almost entirely through his coins. Alram 604 and Sunrise 630 place him in the latter first century AD, a period when Parthian central authority was intermittently contested, likely creating the political space for minor dynasts to mint independently.
