背面描述	Vologases III seated left on a throne, depicted in the traditional Parthian royal investiture scene. Tyche, the goddess of fortune, stands to the right presenting a wreath to the seated king, symbolizing divine legitimacy of his rule. The Seleucid Era year numeral appears in the field above the figures, while the month name is inscribed in the exergue below. The composition reflects the enduring Hellenistic iconographic tradition maintained throughout the Parthian coinage series. A beaded border encircles the reverse field.

附加信息	Vologases III ruled during a period of sharp internal pressure — his reign saw repeated challenges from rival claimants, a structural weakness of the Arsacid system that allowed governors and junior royals to strike competing issues. The Sellwood 79 series reflects a mint operating under those conditions, producing tetradrachms on flans that were often irregular and showing signs of hasty preparation. The seleucia-on-Tigris mint, which struck virtually all late Parthian tetradrachms, was lost and retaken more than once across the second century.
