	Imperial unit -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		In the apothecary system of liquid measure the British add a unit, the fluid scruple, equal to one third of a fluid drachm (spelled dram in the United States) between their minim and their fluid drachm.
		In all the systems, the fundamental unit is the (16 ounces) pound, and all other units are defined as fractions or multiples of it.
		The tables of Imperial troy mass and apothecaries' mass are the same as the corresponding United States tables, except for the British spelling "drachm" in the table of apothecaries' mass.

	Later Parthian Drachms with "Square Beards"
		The drachms of Vologases I are identified by five distinct waves in the hair, the second group all have straight or nearly straight hair with an earring, and group three drachms have straight hair with no earring.
		The engraver for type 74 did not start before type 73 drachms of Pacorus II; he was responsible for some of the dies of type 73 (Pacorus II, beardless bust), all of type 74 (Artabanus III) and type 77 (Pacorus II, bearded with tiara), and some of type 78 of Vologases III.
		There are subtle differences between the obverse portraits of type 63 and type 74 drachms which is due solely to the hands of two different die-cutters.

	Identifying Look-alike Parthian Drachms
		There are many Parthian drachms on which the obverse bears a highly stylized bust facing to the left, wearing a diadem with pendant ties.
		These later drachms were minted beginning early in the first century A.D., and Fred Shore suggests the appearance of these coins coincided with the Parthian court's break from Hellenistic traditions.
		Note that drachms with realistic portraits and legible Greek -- those of Vonones II (type 60) and before -- are not included.

	GREEK - Online Information article about GREEK
		In the later 4th century a head of Hera (copied without spirit from the coins of Argos) occupies the obverse of didrachms and drachms, and the reverse has a maze through which the way may be clearly traced.
		This series closes with Alexander's empire, and the native coinage disappears until the league of Cephisodorus revives it with the Athenian tetradrachm of Attic weight, bearing the name of the Cnossians.
		Chalcis, the mother of western colonies, has already in the 6th century, or even earlier, a long series with the wheel-type and an incuse diagonally divided, and later, a nymph's head and an eagle devouring a serpent.

	A Modern Forgery of A Lysimachos Drachm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		It is perhaps no accident that these types employed by Lysimachos for his tetradrachms and drachms allude to the very watchword which was thought to have aided in his success at Ipsos: "Alexander and victory".
		The forged drachm illustrated above was purchased in 1993 from a Turkish herdsman resting under a tree near the famous ruins of the Ephesian Artemision.
		The surface air bubbles, rough style, inaccurate rendering of the ram's horn and weakness of both the lettering and the trident symbol all mark the coin as a cast forgery.

	ACM Presents DOUG SMITH: FEATURED COIN: "A Septimius Severus Drachm from Caesarea, Cappadocia" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The absence of year one might suggest that Caesarea did not declare allegiance to Severus in his war with Pescennius Niger until after the first of January 194.
		None of the listed drachms spell out the name of the city so completely as on this coin but the form is listed on larger coins of this city.
		Condition on the material available is not always perfect so some assumptions need to be made to prevent listing a variation based on poor condition rather than die variety.

		In the first Parable (that of the Lost Sheep) the main interest centres in the lost; in the second (that of the Lost Drachm), in the search; in the third, in the restoration.
		Again, these Parables, and especially that of the Lost Sheep, are evidently connected with the preceding series, that 'of warnings.' The last of these showed how the poor, the blind, lame, and maimed, nay, even the wanderers on the world's highway, were to be the guests at the heavenly Feast.
		In proceeding to the second Parable, that of the Lost Drachm, we must keep in mind that in the first the danger of being lost arose from the natural tendency of the sheep to wander.
