Can any one introduce me a source(s) in which I can find the original value of the regular coins issued during famous pre-Islamic Persian dynasties i.e.
Achaemenid,
Parthian and Sassanid empires, in terms of conventional goods or livestock, ...?!
for instance, as
Alram puts in "The
Achaemenid currency", the pay of a simple soldier, and of a mercenary, was usually calculated at one daric a month.
I hardly could find similar notes for other
types, such as
Achaemenid siglos or
Parthian tetra/normal drachms,... .
Best regards,
Arya
