Parthian: King Vologases IV (147–191 AD) Silver Drachm Ekbatana Mint Arsacid Coin

[Ancientart]

This authentic ancient silver coin is a drachm from the Parthian Kingdom (also known as the Arsacid Empire), struck during the reign of King Vologases IV approximately between AD 147 and 191. The Parthian Empire was one of the most powerful political and cultural forces in the ancient Near East, serving as a bridge between the Hellenistic world and the rising Sasanian Persian civilization.

Hello Ancientart, welcome to the forum.

I'm not suggesting your account or website aren't absolutely genuine, but to anyone reading this and visiting the website linked to above, I think caution should be exercised - the very generic looking website was created less than 6 months ago, the address is a PO Box (and has opening hours!) and the links to facebook, x, pintrest etc contain no content (yet).

I'm sure Ancientart will build up a reputation in due course. 👀

I also think that sharing they are a trader and have a website selling coins of interest is something they should really be doing just once? It’s my view that coming on here and presumably linking us to every coin they’re selling is a bit of a liberty. Imagine if everyone out there started doing that? Even if all the longstanding dealers on here (who are engaging and sharing valuable content) started doing this routinely, it would be overwhelming?
It could eventually open the floodgates to having a significant amount of dross to sift through to find content of interest.

If it’s good for the forum’s traffic and ranking, could we perhaps have new sub-forums for ‘sales links’ under the various coin categories, Ancient, Hammered, etc., and encourage traders to use these?

@Ancientart very nice work with the website, I have to say, nice and clean, a lot of effort, I really enjoyed browsing it! 🙌🙏

I hadn't seen the other one!

Yes, that's enough website linking for now Ancientart. Join in with some conversations by all means, and add your website to your signature.

On a bit of a tangent, I was wondering about offering paid and not obtrusive banners/ads on the website, just as a way to cover the hosting costs etc. Obviously members that are also dealers would have priority, perhaps even a sub forum for each advertisers' offerings or something along those lines - just a rough idea for now.

I can’t imagine for a second that this wouldn’t be welcomed, it’s a great idea!
