| Abstract:
Includes in-text illustrations, charts, and tables. $75 (GR320) "The first comprehensive catalog of the Elymaean series since the J. de Morgan’s 1930 publication by, this book draws upon the extensive amount of evidence that has surfaced since then and synthesizes the wealth of recent scholarship on this important, yet little-known kingdom that flourished in the region comprising southern Iraq and western Iran from the late 2nd century BC to the early 3rd century AD. Divided into two parts, the first gives an overview of the history of Elymais and its coinage. A brief introduction describes the geographic, geopolitical, and cultural background of the region, and sets the stage for the following discussion of the three dynasties that ruled that kingdom. Using de Morgan as a point of departure, the author meticulously analyzes the various, and often conflicting, studies on Elymaean coinage that have been written over the last half-century, and draws conclusions based on the most recent evidence. As the kingdom's history and coinage are closely tied to its Seleucid and Parthian neighbors, the author has particularly benefited from the recent scholarship on these empires by D. Sellwood, G.R.F. Assar, A. Houghton, and C. Lorber. The first part concludes with a technical description of the coinage system, detailing its mints, iconographic types, and metrology. "The catalogue of coins comprises the second part and traces the coinage of the three Elymaean dynasties: the Early Kamnaskirids, the Later Kamnaskirids, and the Arsacids. Each ruler's coinage is presented by general type, followed their respective subtypes, all of which are accompanied by illustrations for ease-of-use. As much of the later coinage is found in relatively poor condition, often numerous illustrations of each subtype are included, sometimes supplemented by the author’s own meticulous line drawings. "A particular strength of the book is the features that were included to assist researchers and collectors. One such aid is the "Easy Finder" at the end of Part One, which provides a schematic chart for quick identification of a coin's general type. In addition, Appendix 1 provides a concordance chart for each type to the previous standard works that are often used in earlier studies and catalogs, while Appendix 2 provides the sources for all of the illustrations in the catalog, including each coin's weight, die axis, and size, as well as any relevant die links. Finally, a bibliography of the works cited lists the relevant historical and numismatic works that form the basis of the study. "This well-researched book will be the new standard reference for the coinage of Elymais, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in the history of this fascinating kingdom."

| Abstract: Hatra et Assour sont les principaux établissements parthes de la Djéziré irakienne. Ils offrent les témoignages parmi les plus remarquables de la culture parthe occidentale, notamment dans le domaine de l'architecture. En ce qui concerne l'art figuratif, Hatra possède un ensemble de sculptures richissime qui n'a pas d'équivalent à Assour, mais la peinture murale, si riche à Doura-Europos, n'y est témoignée que par quelques documents, mais des traces omniprésentes montrent qu'elle devait être très répandue. À Assour par contre, les restes de peinture à l'intérieur du palais, quoique plus rares, semblent témoigner d'une plus grande richesse dans la complexité des compositions et dans la variété des couleurs.

| Dossiers d'Archeologie, 2002, no. 271, p. 18-21. | ||
| Abstract: La période parthe, en général étroitement liée à l'époque séleucide, a longtemps été connue principalement par les informations fournies par les sources classiques et par les monnaies qui, à partir du XVIIIe siècle, ont été classées, et qui ont posé les fondements de l'historiographie de cette période. L'étude des monuments de cette époque a été longtemps négligée en Iran, probablement en raison du fait que ceux-ci ne pouvaient soutenir la comparaison esthétique avec les restes achéménides et sassanides. Il en était de même en Mésopotamie car les vestiges parthes étaient peu visibles sur le terrain et, de plus, généralement moins intéressants que les périodes de la tradition biblique, caractérisées par des monuments en pierre ou en brique cuite d'excellente qualité et fournissant des briques et des tablettes inscrites.

| American Journal of Archaeology, 1994, vol. 98, p. 231-248. | ||
| Abstract: The Nabataeans were as famous in antiquity for their gold as they are today for their pottery. Their gold vessels have disappeared, but their red-on-red painted pottery survives in profusion. Both the forms and decoration of much of this pottery have analogies in extant Parthian silverware. Nabataean gold vessels may lie behind the pottery (which should no longer be called ''luxury'' ware). The same picture emerges from an examination of the sources relating to India: gold vessels were imported in quantity from the Roman world, but only red-gloss pottery survives to suggest what the range of imported and local goldware might have been. Judging from the evidence relating to Gaul and Carthage, the same model may have applied to Gaulish sigillata and African Red Slip ware, and by extension to red-gloss ceramics throughout the Mediterranean.

| Studia Iranica, 1995, vol. 24, no. 2, p. 163-185. | ||
| Abstract: Silversmiths regularly tried to make silver vessels in "round" figures in terms of local, or traditional, weight standards. In the case of classical and Hellenistic Athens, of Ptolemaic Egypt, of the Hellenistic world in general, and under the Parthian and Sasanian empires, these weights corresponded to contemporary currency standards, so as to enable the owner to continue to use plate as large denomination coinage. Weight inscriptions on vessels, which hitherto have been taken as evidence for fluctuating weight standards, are interpreted instead as an indication that the vessels were weighed with worn coinage that continued to circulate. The standards themselves did not change. [Publisher] | ||
