[79] The figures are the same, not in detail, but in general circumstance. Both are engraved in this volume, plates x. xx. See the explanation of the inscription taken from Niebuhr, tom. ii. pl. xxvii. De Sacy, p. 31, &c. see also p. 69.
[80] De Sacy indeed, in the suite to his “Memoire sur les Medailles des Sassanides,” p. 203-10, assigns all the medals on Plate VI. to Sapor II. and those on Plate VIII. to Sapor III. but the resemblance is so strong, (particularly in No. 3. of Plate VI.) between the figure on the coin, and that in the sculpture No. X. that the identity can hardly be doubted; and that the figure in the sculpture is Sapor I. may be inferred from the inscription at Nakshi Rustum, as well as from the general history.
