| With arrow, sword, and spear : a history of warfare in the ancient world (2001) | ||
| Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 2001, xviii+312 p. | ||
| Abstract: illustrated by Pamela M. Bradford. Most studies of ancient warfare focus only on the Greeks and the Romans, but this sweeping study covers the whole of the ancient world from Greece and Rome to the Near East, then eastward to Parthia, India, and China. Bradford transports the reader into the midst of ancient battles behind such great leaders as Thutmose III, Ashurbanipal, Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, and the First Emperor of China. He details the rise and fall of empires, the role of leadership, and the development of tactics and strategy. One sees the clash of peoples: nomads against agricultural societies, infantry against cavalry, as well as the greatest technological change in history--the combination of the composite bow and the chariot.

| Abstract:
The collection and distribution of water was one of the central concerns of ancient Near Eastern states and societies, including the Achaemenid empire. A specific form of access to subterranean water was already known at that time, namely, qanats. The Hellenistic historian Polybius has left the only ancient description of qanats. The discussion is now fueled by recent discoveries made by a French archaeological mission at the Egyptian oasis of Khargeh. In order to bring these questions up to date, Pierre Briant convened a seminar at the College de France. Researchers from different specialties adopted a truly interdisciplinary approach in bringing their points of view face to face, where the history of technology, social history, economic history and political history intersect and are enriched. --With contributions by Pierre Briant, Professor at the Collegege de France, Paris; Denis Knoepfler, Professor at the University of Neuchatel; Thierry Chatelain, PhD Neuchatel; Michel Wuttmann, Member of the Institut Francais d'Archeologie Orientale (IFAO), Cairo; Michel Chauveau, Ecole des hautes-Etudes, Paris; Mirjo Salvini, Istituto per gli Studi Micenei ed Egeo-anatolici (Ismea), Rome; Remy Boucharlat, Maison de l'Orient, Lyon; Bernard Bousquet, Institute of Geography, University of Nantes.

| Abstract:
This is a difficult-to-find but important article in which Brown details a nearly complete composite bow, found at the Yrzi necropolis, which he dates to the Parthian era. The article includes excellent illustrations, from which at least two replicas have since been built. Considering the almost complete absence of Parthian military equipment in the archeological record, the survival of a nearly complete bow is really remarkable. This article is also the source for Junkelmann's reference. This appears to be the source of information on the bow for Junkelmann, Marcus. Die Reiter Roms.

| Abstract:
The master listing of numismatic sales literature. As of 27 Jan. 2002, c. 27,000 items. This collection exists as a research tool. Its scope is universal, covering all areas and periods, and including sales not only of coins but of other numismatic materials: paper money, tokens, medals, decorations, balances and weights, engraved gems. Some individual non-numismatic (e.g. archaeological) sales are included when the main series is numismatic, but this variation is not consistent. We tend not to acquire two categories of material: unillustrated catalogues and lists, and those devoted exclusively to 19th and 20th-century coins -- although again some are included when they make part of a series of catalogues which also includes research material.

| The Ohio Journal of Science, 1950, vol. 50, no. 3 (May), p. 107-120. | ||
| Abstract:
Paper presented in part at the meeting of the Ohio Academy of Science, Granville, Ohio, April, 1949. Over a thousand ancient coins of Greek and Roman origin have been assayed or analyzed, but only a few Parthian coins have been so investigated. It might reasonably be expected, however, that the chemical investigation of the coins of the Parthian Empire would lead to results just as interesting as those that have been obtained from the chemical investigation of the coins of other ancient states. Indeed, in view of our total lack of ancient literary information concerning the coins of this great eastern empire, it might be expected that the results of the chemical investigation of such coins would lead to results of relatively greater interest. Furthermore, since the coins constitute the chief, and almost the only certain, archaeological remains of the Parthian Empire, any information that can be obtained from a chemical study of these coins will not only be a contribution to the obscure numismatic history of this empire but may be a contribution to its still more obscure economic history. This paper contains a summary of what little has been done in the past on this subject, the results of chemical analyses of some Parthian silver and bronze coins, and interpretations of some of these results. | ||

| Paris: Studia Iranica, 1994, vol. 14, 96 p. | ||
| Abstract:
This study of an exceptional collection of 430 tetradrachms of Orodes II (ca. 57-38 B.C.) and of Phraates IV (ca. 38-32 B.C.) allows, for the first time in Parthian numismatics, a die study. The case in point is all the more favorable as most of the Phraates IV issues are dated to the nearest month. 355 coins were struck in less than 5 years, from March of 27 to September of 23 B.C. The benefits of this situation are numerous: a new classification based on the chronology and no longer on types, a study of the frequency and volume of these issues, a comparison of this frequency with historical events as reported in written sources, a comparison of this frequency with other coinages of reference, a study of weights, etc. A particular attention has been paid to the iconographic details as well as to the forms of the letters. Finally, extensive supplementary material (292 specimens) gathered from museums and catalogues ensures the good representativeness of these 430 tetradrachms. [Author]. Preface by G. Le Rider.
