Drachm of Gotarzes II c. 40 - 51

Editor: So, this is a Drachm of Gotarzes II. It’s… well, it's a coin. One side shows a regal portrait, the other, some sort of inscription. What do you see in this piece? Curator: A pocket-sized power statement, really. Imagine holding the weight of a kingdom in your palm. The detail in Gotarzes’ portrait, the way they've captured his authority, it's like a tiny mirror reflecting an empire's ambition. Does it make you wonder about the stories it could tell? Editor: Absolutely! It's like holding a piece of history. I guess it really makes you consider how carefully those images are crafted. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! It's a tangible link to another time. Every mark, every symbol, whispers of lives lived and choices made.
