| Art of the Steppes [Transl. by Ann E. Keep] (1967) | ||
| New York: Crown, 1967, 272 p. | ||
| Abstract:
There is one plate of a Parthian coin. "The fabulous golden treasures from the ancient burial-grounds of southern Russia and Siberia have captivated man's imagination since they were discovered early in the eighteenth century. Today we know that they were the work of Scythians, Sarmatians and other peoples who roamed the steppes between the sixth century B.C. and the early Christian Era. Some of these tribes were mentioned by the Greek historian Herodotus. Recent excavations, especially those carried out by Soviet archeologists since 1945, have greatly enlarged our knowledge of these peoples — of their way of life, and, above all, of their rich art in "animal style." Graves buried for thousands of years beneath the ice of the Altai Mountains have at last revealed their secrets, and the material they have yielded can compare with the rich Imperial collections in the Hermitage Museum at Leningrad. "New light has been thrown upon the fruitful contacts between these fierce nomadic horsemen and neighboring settled peoples: Chinese in the west, Persians in the south, Greeks in the west. Professor Jettmar's scholarly yet lively narrative leads us in the footsteps of the robbers who looted these graves and of the first scientific explorers. He describes closely the works they found: jewelry in gold and bronze, precious silks, weapons, and horses' harness; and he puts forward some intriguing ideas about the significance of this art for later developments in eastern Europe and Asia." | ||

| Abstract: A Mithraic relief recently acquired by the Israel Museum shows the god Mithras in the act of killing the bull. Mithras wears a Phrygian cap and Parthian-style clothing: a long-sleeved tunic with a short mantle fastened to his left shoulder and a pair of Parthian trousers or leggings. This costume is worn by Mithras only in Syria, where Parthian dress was popular among upper-class Syrians. | ||

| Abstract:
Greek text and English translation on opposite pages. Contents: --1. The life. Against Apion. --2-3. The Jewish War. --4-9. Jewish antiquities "Of other classical sources, among the most valuable are the works of the Jew Josephus. Time after time from numismatic or written sources Josephus can be proved correct, even against such factually accurate writers as Tacitus. Passages in Josephus containing apparent errors can often be understood when considered as brief resumes which omit much not directly connected with the main thread of the narrative. Josephus utilized the works of another oriental, Nicolaus of Damascus; his first edition of the Jewish War was prepared for Jews living under the Parthian empire. Babylonian Jews were passing to and fro across the frontiers, and Josephus was probably able to correct and supplement his sources from them. Possibly the story of Anilaeus and Asinaeus represents such firsthand information" [Debevoise (1938), p. xxix] | ||

| Abstract:
The dissertation is on the terracotta figurines of Seleucid and Parthian Babylon, which form the most important archaeological finds of the period in both Babylon and other parts of central and southern Mesopotamia. The material consists of Babylon figurines in the collections of the Iraq Museum, the British Museum and the Louvre. Comparisons are also made with figurines from these collections with provenance in other localities, as well as the material of the Vorderasiatisches Museum of Berlin and the Seleucid material of the Centro di Scavi of Turin. All the figurines of this study have been analysed and parallels have been sought for them. A typology and relative chronology were constructed for them with reference to style. There are analyses of products of the same workshops and of the distribution of figurines. The role of Iranian, western and traditional Mesopotamian influences in coroplastic art is discussed. The study also focuses on phenomena typical of figurine production at the time: the shift from double-mould to single-mould technique and related aspects of technique and artistic content. The results suggest that the renaissance of coroplastic art in Babylon did not occur until the Parthian period when several new western themes and techniques were adopted. It also appears that western coroplasts arrived in Babylon along with other settlers. There is little evidence of a uniform development of coroplastic art from the Seleucid to the Parthian period. The core area of Parthian art is not to be found in Babylon. In their typical forms, Parthian sculpture and painting developed under various influences, of which the western element is not as pronounced as in the Babylon figurines. See review: P. Negro, Rivista di Archeologia, Epigrafia e Storia Orientale Antica 31 (1996), pp. 274-276. | ||

| Abstract:
Also available in Finnish. 25 minutes. Color. Recommended audience age range 14-adult "Hatra is a fortress-like town in the barren desert area in north-west Iraq, between Mosul and Samarra. The Hatra era lasted from about 400 BC to AD 300, and was at its height during the first century AD. Although the earliest phases of its history remain unknown, it can perhaps be considered the most important monument of the ancient Mesopotamian cultures. It was a major staging-post on the famous oriental silk road and its prosperity was based on the international caravan traffic. The center of Hatra consists of a group of temples. The most important is the temple dedicated to the Shamash or sun god; other heavenly bodies had temples of their own. The group of temples has been partly restored and exemplifies the unique Hatran architecture: an elegant combination of eastern and western influences. Excavations of Hatra have only just started. The town itself has not been uncovered yet but we are able to see the temples, the tombs, the wall and the remains of towers. Impressive examples of Greek-influenced Hatran art, with its statues of kings and all kinds of smaller items, can be admired at the National Museum of Iraq." [Author] | ||
