| Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1990, 72 p. | ||
| Abstract: Persia occupies an important place among the great civilisations of the ancient world. The many splendid achievements of the early inhabitants of Iran range from the imaginatively painted pottery of the prehistoric period to the magnificent silver vessels of Sasanian times, and include the Luristan bronzes and the spectacular sculptures of Persepolis. Civilisation began early in Iran, in common with other parts of the Middle East, and John Curtis traces the history, archaeology and art from the growth of settled communities in about 6000 BC through to the beginning of the Islamic period in the 7th century AD. The author illustrates this concise introduction to ancient Persia with examples drawn from the rich collection of Iranian antiquities in the British Museum. [author] | ||

| Abstract:
With 12 colour and 60 monochrome illustrations. John Curtis is Keeper, Western Asiatic Antiquities Department, British Museum. Included in this volume are papers delivered at the fourth seminar in memory of Vladimir Lukonin. This series has examined relations between Mesopotamia and Iran from the earliest historical period onwards, and this latest and last seminar deals with the Parthian and Sasanian periods, between circa 238 BC and AD 642. This epoch witnessed a rejection of the Hellenistic ideals introduced by Alexander and, with the coming to power of two successive Iranian dynasties, the Parthian and the Sasanians, a revival of oriental culture. control over Iran and Mesopotamia brought the Parthians and Sasanians into conflict with Rome and later Byzantium in the west. The book contains essays on Parthian and sasanian history, Parthian culture and costume, rock reliefs of sasanian Iran, Sasanian silver vessels. The text also discusses Mesopotamia in the sasanian period, with particular emphasis on settlement patterns and arts and crafts. The concluding chapter deals with sasanian art beyond the Persian world. [Publisher] See review: Wouter F. M. Henkelman, Bibliotheca Orientalis 58 (2001), columns 651-656; A.D.H.

| Abstract:
This paper will discuss the importance of religious symbolism and royal propaganda on Iranian coins (Parthian, Persian and Sasanian ) and compare the iconography with coins from Central Asia of the Indo-Parthian kings, Kushans and Kushano-Sasanians. We will examine scenes with religious and political messages: the investiture of the king by a divine being, which is marked by the presentation of an object such as a diadem, a palm frond or a ring. Sometimes the divine investiture is symbolised by the appearance of a winged goddess resembling the Hellenistic Nike/Fortuna on either side of the head. Parthian coins of the late first century BC depict a bird with a diadem or ring in its beak behind the king's head. The bird is probably the royal falcon, the Avestan varegna and bestower of God Given Fortune, who is closely associated with Verethragna, the Zoroastrian god of Victory. A royal falcon appears also on the headdress of Orlagno, the Kushan god of Victory, on coins of Kanishka I, and a bird is also placed at the top of Kanishka's sceptre on one of his gold coins. The official royal message is clear: the king is the rightful and legitimate ruler who enjoys divine protection. With the appearance of the Sasanians on the political scene, the fusion of 'royal ideology and religion' shows itself in the religious iconography of the early coins which is completely in tune with the coin legends. The Sasanian king, who describes himself as the Mazda worshipping king of kings, of divine origin/seeds, uses coins to make a political statement: he is the legitimate holder of the God Given Fortune according to the Zoroastrian doctrine. He protects the 'good religion' as the true guardian of the Zoroastrian religion. [Author] | ||

| Abstract: The Parthians were nomadic horse-warriors who left few written records, concentrating rather on a rich oral and storytelling tradition. What knowledge we have of this remarkable people derives primarily from their coinage, which mixed Hellenism with Persian influences. In this book, distinguished scholars examine - from a variety of perspectives--the origins of the Parthians, their history, religion and culture, as well as perceptions of their empire through the lens of both imperial Rome and China.

| Abstract:
These are the Proceedings of the Colloquium on Parthian and Sasanian Themes in Iranian Art: New Directions in the Art and Archeology of Iran, London, March 23-25, 1992. The art of the Parthian and Sasanian empires exercised enormous influence on art and culture in the early Islamic period and its legacy has continuing relevance in modern times. Pre-Islamic stylistic developments and motifs were widely adopted in the Islamic period: traditional mosque architecture, for example, draws much from Parthian and Sasanian forms.

| Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the problems relating to the chronology and the route of Demetrius II's expedition against the Parthians. One of the cuneiform tablets published recently by H. Hunger in the new volume of the Babylonian astronomical diaries gives the date of the capture of the king by Mithradates I. On the one hand the archaeological and numismatic evidence allows to solve the important question of the route. The available evidence implies that Media was the main concern of Demetrius II's military activity. This means that the generally accepted assumption that Demetrius II reconquered Mesopotamia for a short [author] | ||

Dabrowa fixes the end of Mithradates I's reign in 132 BC, not the traditional 138 B.C., which was based on the date of his final tetradrachm (Sellwood S13.5) dated 174 Seleucid era.

| Abstract:
The Classical Cookbook is the first to explore the daily culture of the Mediterranean through the center of its social life: food and drink. Combining narrative texts and recipes, authors Dalby and Grainger draw on a mass of fascinating resources to describe household life for different social groups and occasions. Each chapter provides a historical outline, with translations of the original recipes followed by versions for the modern cook. The Classical Cookbook is illustrated throughout with delightful scenes of food, hunters, and revelers from wall paintings, mosaics, and Greek vases. And the array of delicacies, from "Sweet Wine Scones" and "Chicken Stuffed with Olives" to "Honey Nut Cake" and "Olive Relish" to "Liver Oxyrhynchus" and "Bream in Cheese and Oil" and "Sweet Cheesecake" and and "Parthian Chicken" are sure to tempt any gourmet.
