Kingdom of Persis, Darev (Darios) II, 1st Century B.C.
|Kingdom| |of| |Persis|, |Kingdom| |of| |Persis,| |Darev| |(Darios)| |II,| |1st| |Century| |B.C.|, The coinage of the Kings of Persis consists in individualized portraits of the rulers on the obverse, and often the rulers shown in a devotional role on the reverse, before a sacred edifice or a fire-alter. The style of the coins is often influenced by Parthian coinage, particularly in respect to the dress and the headgear of the rulers. A reverse legend in Aramaic, using the Aramaic script, gives the name of the ruler and his title (mlk': King), and often his relationship to a preceding ruler. The coin legends are written from right to left, wrapping the central scene in a counterclock-wise manner.
