Summary

Description
English: Drawing of a coin of Mithridates I of Parthia. The reverse shows a naked Heracles carrying a lion-skin, a cup and a club. The Greek inscription has been miscopied — it should read ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΥ ΑΡΣΑΚΟΥ ΦΙΛΕΛΛΗΝΟΣ (great king Arsaces, friend of Greeks). The date has also been miscopied — it was probably originally ΓΟΡ, year 173 of the Seleucid era, corresponding to 140en:139 BC.
