CGFA It's not Numismatic but it has an incredible collection of Fine Art and is (in the humble opinion of this Webmaster) a very well done site. Kudos to Carol Gerten.

Webmasters take note.

PARTHIA.COM . A great resource! A non-commercial, educational web site by Edward C. D. Hopkins
The Parthian Empire is a fascinating period of Persian history closely connected to Greece and Rome. Ruling from 247 B.C. to A.D. 228 in ancient Persia (Iran), the Parthians defeated Alexander the Great's successors, the Seleucids, conquered most of the Middle East and southwest Asia, and built Parthia into an Eastern superpower. The Parthian empire revived the greatness of the Achaemenid empire and counterbalanced Rome's hegemony in the West. Parthia at one time occupied areas now in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaidzhan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel. (Excerpt from site).
