The “Seal of Rodogune” from Parthian Nisa

A seal from the Parthian Fortresses of Nisa, previously thought to depict Rodogune, is revealed to likely represent Apollo, marked by a laurel wreath. This discovery challenges earlier attributions and suggests a late date for the seal, placing it between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. The analysis, based on stylistic execution, situates this seal within a broader group of sealings from the Square House of Nisa, contributing to our understanding of Parthian iconography and chronology.
