EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite coins of Mithridates II, the esteemed ruler of Parthia from 123 to 88 BC. Housed in the prestigious British Museum's collection, these ancient artifacts are a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Parthian coinage. The vibrant colors and intricate designs on these coins offer a glimpse into the financial prowess and opulence of Mithridates II's reign. The profile portrait of this revered monarch adorns one side, depicting his regal countenance with remarkable detail. These coins served as both a symbol of power and a means of exchange in an era when currency played an essential role in daily life. As we marvel at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the countless hands that have held these very same coins throughout history. They serve as tangible connections to a bygone era—a reminder that even centuries ago, people relied on money for their livelihoods just as we do today. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, who skillfully captured every nuance and hue, we can now appreciate these rare treasures up close without stepping foot inside the museum walls. Their dedication allows us to explore our shared heritage through artistry and craftsmanship that transcends time
