"Scarcity of Precious Metals and Relative Chronology of Indo-Greek and Related Coinages, 1st Century BC-1st Century AD" (2000)
East and West, 2000, vol. 50, p. 227-258.
Abstract: Postulates a crisis shortage of silver throughout Iran and Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North India in the last decades B.C., when the dates on the Parthian tetradrachms of Seleucia and local civic issues allow us to know for certain that all the Seleucia mints were closed down from 23 to 2 B.C., and when bronze and billon replaced silver as the standard metal of coinage in Central and Southern Asia.

Ancient Persia: from 550 BC to 650 AD (translated by Azizeh Azodi) (1993)
London: I.B. Tauris, 1996, 426 p.
Abstract: English translation of Das antike Persien : von 550 v. Chr. bis 650 n. Chr (1993). A comprehensive survey illustrated with Photographs. Josef Wiesehofer, one of the most respected scholars of the ancient world, provides here a comprehensive survey of the Persian Empire under the Achaemenids, the Parthians and the Sasanians. By focusing on the indigenous sources - written, archaeological and numismatic evidence from Persia - he avoids the traditional Western approach which has tended to rely so heavily on foreign and sometimes prejudiced Greek or Roman sources. Part of the freshness of this book comes from its presentation of a historical discussion of pre-Islamic Persia from a Near Eastern perspective.

Rome's Enemies (vol. 3): Parthians and Sassanid Persians (1986)
In: Men-At-Arms Series, 175
Osprey, 1986, 48 p.
Abstract: Color plates illustrated by Angus McBride.

The Parthians were a warrior people. Though possessing no regular army they were superb horsemen and archers, and in time of war the nobility provided heavily armoured knights mounted on weight-carrying chargers. At Carrhae, it is believed that 20,000 Roman troops out of a force of about 36,000 died at the hands of the Parthians. In the third of four volumes covering Rome's enemies, this fascinating text by Peter Wilcox examines the armies and campaigns of the Parthians and Sassanid Persians. [Publisher]
