| 裏面の説明 | A male deity, identified as a seated figure in Hellenistic style, is depicted facing left upon an omphalos or throne, holding a Nike in his extended right hand and a cornucopiae in his left. Two monograms appear in the exergue below the figure. The reverse composition follows established Seleucid-derived iconographic conventions, combining divine imagery with royal legitimacy symbols. A Greek legend surrounds the central type. |

Phraates II inherited a Parthian kingdom already strained by Seleucid attempts at reconquest. His reign opened with the decisive defeat of Antiochus VII Sidetes at the Battle of Ecbatana in 129 BC — a victory that effectively ended Seleucid power east of the Euphrates for good. Antiochus died in the battle, and Phraates reportedly sent his body home in a silver coffin.
Phraates II was himself killed around 127 BC fighting Scythian tribes — the very nomadic mercenaries he had hired to fight Antiochus and then failed to pay.
