I don't believe so. There was a gradual debasing of the coinage, but it was mainly due to economic disruption (iirc). One good Parthian War would've set the finances straight again! (Unfortunately, along came the Sasanians ...)

Can we determine how long then the influx of loot from a Parthian War propped up the Empire? I dont mean overal like the Empire would have failed this many years longer.

More of a question oh how long did they live large on the loot from one particular Parthian plundering before it was drained and the Romans were forced to go on an expedition again.
