one coin picked at random
Elymais or was an autonomous state of the 2nd century BC to the early 3rd century AD, frequently a vassal under Parthian control, and located at the head of the Persian Gulf.
Elymais struck coins from ca. 150 B.C. until their defeat by the Sasanians in A.D. 227. Most coins show an anchor, perhaps recalling their association with the Seleucid Empire, and the more ancient star-in-crescent symbol of the Achaemenids.
Elymais was the biblical Elam and home of the magi. With its capitol at Susa, it was a small kingdom
Elymais fell to Parthian domination 2nd to 3 rd Centuries
In 187 BC The King Elymais didn’t have enough funds to pay Roman demands and robbed gold and silver from holy sites and this helped in his downfall
So interesting This small enclave could not last between Roman and Persian demands and was taken over by Parthian empire

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
