Commentary
Le droit est directement inspiré du monnayage parthe. Ce type était décrit comme un tétradrachme d’Orodes Ier ce qui est erroné.
The right is directly inspired by Parthian coinage. This type was described as a tetradrachm of Orodes I, which is erroneous.

Historical background
ELYMAIS - ELYMAIS KINGDOM - KAMNASKIRES VI
(1st - 2nd century AD)
This small kingdom, located between Babylonia and Persis in the region of Susa. He managed to maintain his independence from his powerful Arsacid neighbors. Kamnaskires, of whom we know practically nothing, seems to have reigned at the end of the first century and the beginning of the second century of our era. When the Parthians were eliminated by the Sassanids, Ardashir I made Elymaide a province of the new empire.
