The independent kings of Pars
In the land of Pars, there were independent kings who ruled from the time of the Seleucids until the beginning of the Sassanid period, who considered themselves the guardians of the Achaemenid culture.. These kings were called Parterka . At first, four kings minted coins from them until the Selukians gained power over them again.
With a break, these kings regained their independence until they were recognized as independent kings during the Ashkani period.. Their coins had writings in Aramaic script, which were probably minted in the pool mint. Ardeshir V is the founder of the Sassanid dynasty and the descendants of these kings.
