Bagadat, a Persian noble from Persepolis, seceded from the Seleukid empire at about the same time as the Parthians and Baktrians. His impressive Tetradrachms combine Hellenistic numismatic artistry with disctintively Persian imagery, boasting both his independence from Greek rule and his worship of the Zoroastric god Ahura Mazda.
