Die Nachfolgeregelung des Antiochos VII. vor seinem Aufbruch in den Partherkrieg (131 v. Chr.)

Abstract

The author attributes a tetradrachm (CSE 690) so far said to be from Antiochus VIII, son of Demetrius II, to Antiochus Epiphanes, eldest son of Antiochus VII. The portrait of young Antiochus has been developed out of the representation of his father. Since this son probably died already in 131 B. C., he was not able to succeed his father. ROBERT GONNELLA, Ein bisher unbekanntes Bronzetetradrachmon von Vardanes I. (circa 40-45 n.Chr.), p. 39 This is the publication of the only known tetradrachm in bronze of the Parthian kingdom. This issue probably is emergency money struck in a time of military disturbances. Argueing with this coin as a source the author concludes that Vardanes' death has to be redated at least 15 months earlier than so far assumed, coming to the time of about October of A. D. 46 to September of A. D. 47
