| Abstract: "In presenting a revised listing of the kings of the Arsacid kingdom, Sellwood replaces Artabanus II with Gotarzes I and Orodes I. Wroth's series of Artabanus II coins (BMC Parthia) are given to Gotarzes, and his Sinatruces coins to Orodes. To Sinatruces are assigned the issues which Wroth placed tentatively under the name of Phraates III." [F. Campbell, NL 70] | ||

| Abstract: In BMC Parthia Wroth postulated an Unknown King reigning before 57 B.C. Drachm monograms and other evidence are used to vindicate Wroth's theories and a tentative identification is made with Darius of Media Atropatene, an opponent of Pompey. The relevance of data from Susa is also considered. [Author] | ||

| Abstract:
The probable chronological sequence of the main engravers of the reverse dies of Parthian drachms from A.D. 12-150 is established. From this follow certain re-attributions of the associated obverse die types; thus most of the drachms given by Wroth to Gotarzes II are placed earlier. Reference is also made to the new readings of the later Pahlavi legends. [Author] See review by A. M. Guardán, Gaceta Numismatica, No. 11 (Dec 1968), p. 21. Absolutely essential reading for an understanding of the assignment of the drachms to the various Parthian kings, and the details to look for when studying these coins. | ||

Also seen referenced as "Deux notes sur la monnayage Parthe", same journal and pagination. Sellwood deals with the monograms appearing on drachm issues appearing from Type 35 (Sellwood 1971) onwards. He also deals with an early drachm (Sellwood 1971 Type 10/13), on the reverse of which occurs the inscription "Mened...". This is hardly a geographical name as Sellwood maintains, but the name of an official, although it is admittedly placed in a very prominent position.

| Abstract:
Sellwood attempts to establish the sequence of issues by means of a stylistic analysis of the drachm reverses and the identification of the hands of various die engravers. He also deals with the monograms appearing on drachm issues appearing from Type 35 (Sellwood 1971) onwards. He had earlier tackled the same problem in "Deux notes sur le drachmes arsacides" (1971), and in "Parthian Mints" (1975). [Mørkholm, "Greece to India", 1979] But in 1990, Mørkholm says, "The identifications with Ecbatana, Rhagae, Nisa and the travelling 'Court' mint seem extremely plausible. Mithradatkart, the citadel of Nisa, is a more dubious attribution, and the ascriptions of coins to lessar mints pf Laodicea, Knokobar, Artemita, and Susa are extremely doubtful. The same applies to the proposed mints in the districts of Margiane, Traxiane, and Areia, which is based only on the precedent of the district names on S.30/15 to 30/17."

| Abstract:
A revision to his 1st ed. (1971) which is no longer used. The authoritative reference. A brief biography of each monarch with major changes from the previously accepted attributions. Lists 93 Parthian coin types illustrated with line drawings instead of photographs, but does have 10 excellent plates of 151 coins. Handwritten text and line drawings. The second edition corrects and adds to the material given in the first, and includes a list of the autonomous city coinages which may reflect mint practices relevant to contemporary regal issues. [Houghton, "Syria and the East", 1986] In his criticism of the original 1971 edition, Mørkholm said "The attributions to different kings are not argued in detail, but represent the results obtained by Sellwood himself and other Parthian specialists during recent years. However, it should be noted that quite a few of the attributions in the early period before the reign of Orodes II are still open to debate." [Mørkholm, "Greece to India", 1979] None-the-less, Sellwood presents the first comprehensive treatment of the whole since the appearance of Wroth's BMC catalog. See reviews of first edition: A.

| "New Parthian Coin Types" (1989) | ||
| Numismatic Chronicle, 1989, vol. 149, p. 162-168. | ||
| Abstract: A recent hoard, apparently from the neighborhood of Shiraz, consisted mainly of diobols of the princes of Persis. Included were some previously unknown Parthian types, mostly of the same denomination. Some of these bear in Greek the title "lord" not "king" but reasons are given for associating them with Arsacid rulers of the period AD 70-120. [Author] | ||

| Abstract: A group of 316 gold coins are discussed and declared authentic in view of the numbers found, weight and denomination, fineness and trace element content, fabric, engraving and striking technique, design, legend and historical context. Included are 254 large coins of 7.91g average weight, 36 coins of 2.64g average weight, and 26 small coins of 1.33g average weight. Sellwood believes the large coins to be equivalent to the Roman aureus of that time,and the small coins to have been intended to circulate as tetradrachms. Six gold coins are pictured. | ||

| Abstract: Discusses the history and a previously unpublished obol of Phraates II, and a bronze "drachm" of Mithradates II with an unusual radiate crown on the onverse and a reverse which has Nike walking right bearing a wreath. Combined with two drachms with possible Mithradatkart monograms, Sellwood offers that Mithradates was, at the start of his reign, still dependent on Greeks in his army for expelling the Sakas. | ||
