Elymais MosaicNote that coins were combined virtually so relative sizes might be off by +/- 10%
Elymais was a semi-independent state of the 2nd century BC to the early 3rd century AD, frequently a Parthian vassal, and located at the head of the Persian Gulf in the present-day region of Khuzestan, Iran. Elymais was conquered by Ardashir and became part of the Sassanian Empire. Very little is known about Elymais other than infomation yielded from its coins.Sosius
