| Abstract: This informative 21-page, illustrated article is full of facts about the 1881 French expedition by the wealthy Dieulafoy household into Persia to explore the desolate region that in ancient times was the great Persian empires of Artaxerxes and Darius. This article is an extremely well-written summary of the entire expedition by Madame Jane Dieulafoy, one of the principle archeologists leading the venture. She describes in exact detail the topography, climate, difficulties, and discoveries encountered in this great work. Madame Dieulfoy received the French distinction, the Cross of the Order of the Legion of Honor for her indefatigable courage in spearheading this expedition. Very few women have ever earned the Legion of Honor. Some of the prominent sites discovered included the tomb of Daniel, the palace of Artaxerxes, Enameled Lions at the palace gate, palace of Darius, and others. The article takes on the aura of an adventure story as the trek back to the Persian Gulf over 200 miles of desert met with logistical difficulties transporting massive archaeological finds and bandits who harried the travelers constantly. This 1887 article was the first public report of this monumental archaeological find, and the article itself is a fascinating step back to a great day in archaeology. This is not a modern reprint, but rather, the authentic 114-year old magazine article in its original state. There are facts, observations, and insights here that can not be found in any of today's sources. This is a great source of Persian archaeological history. There are 15 engraved illustrations including: The Seal of Artaxerxes - portraits of Monsieur and Madame Jane Dieulafoy - Tomb of Daniel - Transporting the Treasures Across the Jungle - Enameled Brick Staircase - Colossal Lion in Enameled Faience, and others. | ||

| Abstract: This note deals with the attribution of the coins from Mithradates II to Orodes II. A brief review of progress achieved so far concludes that the sequence of coins derived by Morkholm (NC 1980) is satisfactory. By considering the coins of other dynasties contemporary with the Parthians, the cuneiform tablets from Babylonian and the Parthian drachms, conclusions regarding the attributions and duration of each king's reign are reached.

| Abstract: The styles of the silver and copper coins of Sanabares with Arsacid types suggest that they were struck before the coins of Vologeses I. Pahlavi legends on the copper coins of Gondophares and the absence of Pahlavi on the copper coins of Sanabares suggest, since there is no convincing evidence that there was more than one king with these names, that Sanabares was the earlier of the two. Sanabares was the predecessor of Orthagnes and the contemporary of Phraataces. | ||

Discussion of the Parthian "Dark Age". Parthian kings mentioned in inscriptions and literary sources are correlated with the various of coins from Mithradates II to Phraates III. The evidence is discussed under the headings of epigraphic and literary sources, tetradrachms, drachms, hoards, countermarked drachms and evidence from Susa, including overstruck bronze coins.

| Abstract:
Over the centuries, Persia (Iran) has borne the brunt of periodic invasions. Elements of these foreign cultures, including Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Mongolian and European influences, were incorporated into the native artistic tradition but transmuted by Persian artists into a highly original and uniquely Iranian style. This outstanding collection of motifs comprises over 400 examples of this rich tradition, ready for use in a multitude of design areas. Ranging from prehistoric pottery painting to 20th century calligraphy, this volume spans the full spectrum of Iranian art, including the Achaemenian, Parthian, Sassanian and Safavid eras. Included are designs drawn from textiles (weaves, printed fabrics, embroidery, carpets) ceramics (pottery and tile), carved and incised work (stucco, stone, metal), miscellaneous ornament, book illustration and calligraphy. The author, a native Iranian and well known artist, has carefully rendered designs from original masterpieces in public and private collections around the world. The motifs include floral designs, geometrics, arabesques, mythical creatures, rosettes, paisley patterns, palmettes, medallions, border and marginal decorations, scrolls, curves and hunting scenes. Embodying the sumptuous detail, rich texture and elaborate ornamentation that constitute the glory of Persian art, these motifs also exemplify the Iranian artist's traditional devotion to symmetry, harmonious pattern, and purity of line and form. An invaluable source of design ideas for practical use, Persian Designs and Motifs will be welcomed by artists, needleworkers, weavers and designers (textiles, wallpaper, packaging) and craftspeople working in stained glass, rugs and mosaics. A selection of color plates has been included to give an idea of typical Persian coloring. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract: La définition même de l'art parthe est difficile à donner. Doit-on s'en tenir à une région géographique, à l'ethnie de ceux qui l'ont produit, contemplé et utilisé ? Doit-on l'aborder par découpages chronologiques ou par ses traits stylistiques ? Nous adopterons ici la division géographique en considérant les régions qui tombèrent sous le contrôle politique des Parthes, ou dont les œuvres artistiques et architecturales présentent de fortes influences parthes. En pratique, cela recouvre une aire immense qui s'étend de l'Asie centrale et l'Iran à la Mésopotamie et au désert de Syrie, au cours d'une période qui débute à la fin du IIe siècle av. J.-C. et s'achève au milieu du IIIe siècle de notre ère. [Publisher] | ||
