| Additional information |
Orodes III ruled for only a matter of months before being killed by his own subjects, likely in 6 AD — making his coinage among the briefest issues in the entire Parthian sequence. Sellwood 59 is confined almost entirely to the Seleucia-on-the-Tigris mint, and the billon alloy reflects the degraded silver standard that had been creeping into Parthian tetradrachms since the reign of Phraates IV.
