EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient times - the Drachma of King Mithridates II of Parthia, dating back to the 1st century BC. This intricately designed coin not only represents the monetary system and financial stability of that era but also holds significant historical value. King Mithridates II, known as the first Parthian king to engage in negotiations with Rome, was an influential figure who left his mark on both his country and neighboring regions. The regal portrait imprinted on this drachma exudes power and authority, reflecting his status as a monarch. Dressed in royal attire and adorned with a majestic helmet, King Mithridates II's image symbolizes strength and military prowess. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to this ancient relic, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even after centuries have passed. As we gaze upon this coinage from Iran (formerly Persia), we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage associated with it. It serves as a testament to the artistic skills prevalent during that time period. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now marvel at this metalpoint masterpiece captured by CM Dixon in 1996-98 AccuSoft Inc. , ensuring that future generations will continue to admire these invaluable artifacts from our past.
