| Abstract:
Il centro di Nisa Partica (nell’attuale Turkmenistan meridionale) venne fondato nella prima metà del II secolo a.C. dal fautore dell’impero arsacide Mitridate I (da cui l’antico nome della cittadella Mithradatkert, la fortezza di Mitridate) e fu destinato a divenire un grande sacrario dei re di questa dinastia. L’importanza di Nisa sta nel fatto che essa costituisce una delle prime fondazioni reali della cultura partica ed una delle meglio documentate, grazie a scavi che si susseguono oramai da oltre 70 anni. La produzione nisena illustra in maniera esemplare quelli che sono i caratteri tipici dell’arte e dell’architettura della corte dei primi sovrani partici e per un periodo storico cruciale per l’Asia Centrale: quando cioè, dopo la conquista di Alessandro Magno, si assiste al fiorire di civiltà e culture capaci di assorbire e fondere le tradizioni occidentale ed orientale, sempre elaborando nuove soluzioni artistiche che rimarranno per i secoli a venire. La missione italiana, attiva dal 1990 nel settore centrale monumentale della cittadella, ha completato gli scavi sovietici del secondo dopoguerra nella Sala Rotonda uno degli edifici più sacrali dell’intero complesso e, adiacente ad essa, ha riportato alla luce una seconda fabbrica monumentale (anch’essa con una qualche destinazione cerimoniale), denominata Edificio Rosso per la sua caratteristica decorazione. In quest’ultimo settore sono emersi, al di sopra delle antiche strutture arsacidi, livelli medievali di un edificio piuttosto esteso. I dati raccolti durante questi lavori, gli studi strutturali e le proposte ricostruttive degli edifici indagati, le missioni interdisciplinari di studio, analisi e documentazione sugli oggetti (statue in argilla cruda, ceramica, piccoli oggetti, rhyta etc…) condotte nei principali musei della capitale turkmena hanno prodotto una cospicua messe di dati - presentati in un volume ricco di illustrazioni e disegni- che permettono di tracciare un quadro complesso di Nisa: un centro altamente significativo per la nostra conoscenza della cultura partica nelle fasi della sua definizione ed affermazione nei territori dell’Asia Centrale, tra il II secolo a.C. e il I secolo d.C. Con numerose illustrazioni in b/n. 37 tavole a colori, 7 piante in grande formato contenute in una cartellina allegata. [Publisher] | ||

| Birkenrinde der asiatisch-indischen 'Betula Bhojpattr' bzw. 'Betula Utilis' als Beschreibstoff im präislamischen Zentralasien: Ein wenig beachtetes Handelsgut auf den alten Seidenstrassen (2006) | ||
| Münstersche Beiträge zur antiken Handelsgeschichte, 2006, vol. XXV, no. 2, p. 183-194. | ||
| Abstract:
Birch-bark of the asiatic-indian 'Betula Bhojpattr' or 'Betula Utilis' used as writing-material in pre-islamic Central Asia. A little regarded commodity on the ancient Silk Routes Summary Rarely noticed in a more comprehensive form, birch-bark of the asiatic-indian 'Betula Bhojpattr' or 'Betula Utilis' was used on the Silk Roads on Central Asia in pre-islamic times as writing-material in a much greater quantity than earlier thought by document-specialists; this especially in a geographical region between Merw (Margiana), Bamiyan/ Afghanistan and in the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang/ PR China especially for early buddhist texts, i.e. translations. Until now, the fact that documents were written on birch-bark was more or less seen as a certain curiosity. This article wants to show that birch-bark played a much more important role as writing-material than noticed until today. Birch-bark, as hopefully can be shown, was maybe also a commercial article, even if it was more or less a 'niche'-product which later vanished the markets on the Silk Roads because Chinese paper came to be used. The author tries to list up all known birch-bark-document fi nds until today known and tries to sum up the known facts about this writing-material so very important for early Buddhist texts on the Silk Roads of pre-islamic Central Asia. | ||

| Terry Jones' Barbarians (2007) | ||
| London: BBC Books, 2007 | ||
| Abstract: "In the Monty Python film Life of Brian, a member of the People's Front of Judea asks, "What have the Romans ever done for us?" (apart from, of course, the "sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health"). The director of that movie—and now popular historian—Jones (Who Murdered Chaucer?), along with Ereira (The People's England), now answer the question: a bit, but nowhere near as much as the barbarians did. Jones attempts to overturn the popular conception of the glorious Roman Empire, which he says is mostly propaganda, and claims that the barbarians—a general term describing the tribes of western and northern Europe, as well as of the Middle East—have for too long been slandered as "savages" by the allegedly more advanced and civilized Romans and their descendants. In fact, these assorted Celts, Vandals, Persians and Goths were technologically, economically and intellectually sophisticated, but were on the wrong side of history. While scholars will sniff at Jones's offhand humor, somewhat wide-eyed "revelations"—which have been revealed before—and tendency to believe the vastly exaggerated death tolls of the time (he relies on Plutarch's figure that Julius Caesar slaughtered a million Gauls, a virtually impossible feat), readers will go along for a most enjoyable ride and appreciate his fascinating tale of the barbarians' lost world. 24 pages of color photos, maps.

| "Genealogy of the First Arsacids (once again about Nisa Ostracon 1760)" [English tr. by Vadim Nikitin] (2008) | ||
| Fairborn, Ohio: Parthia.com Web Site, 2007 | ||
| Abstract:
Vadim Nikitin's English translation of Koshelenko's "Genealogiya Pervykh Arshakidov (eshche raz o nisiyskom ostrake no. 1760)". The article contains an analysis of the data on the genealogy of the first Arsacids from the ostrakon No. 1760 of the Nisian Archive. On comparing these data with those from the written sources (Justian and Arrian), the author is able to modify the genealogy established by his predecessors. A comparison of the data from early Parthian history from works by Justin and Arrian enables the author to elucidate a number of trends which existed in the official ideology of Parthia and substantiated the right of descendants of Tiridates to the Parthian throne.

Recruté comme adjuteur à la Préfecture urbaine de Rome, Festus doit faire face à une série de crimes perpétrés selon un même rite : globes oculaires évidés, langue coupée, qui semblent impliquer des médecins publics de la ville de Rome et notamment un proche qu'il estime profondément. Cette enquête s'avère riche en rebondissements et lourde en révélations pour notre héros qui va s'apercevoir que même son entourage familial n'est pas complètement "blanc".

| In: Oriens et Occidens. Studien zu antiken Kulturkontakten und ihrem Nachleben, Bd. 17 | ||
| Wiesbaden: Franz Steiner Verlag, 2007, 427 p. | ||
| Abstract: Les Parthes, peuple iranien d’origine nomade qui domina la Mésopotamie et l’Iran du milieu du second siècle av. J.-C. jusqu’en 225 ap. J.-C., furent les grands rivaux des Romains: ceux-ci tentèrent à plusieurs reprises de les envahir et de se substituer à eux en Orient, sans jamais y parvenir. Ce livre analyse l’abondante production de textes et d’images évoquant les Parthes qui, dans tout le monde gréco-romain et jusqu’à la fin du Haut-Empire, accompagna la politique romaine, afin de répondre à deux questions principales : dans quelle mesure l’image des Parthes permet-elle de mieux comprendre les buts poursuivis par les Romains au-delà de l’Euphrate, et quelle somme de connaissances Grecs et Romains amassèrent-ils à propos de ce peuple qui leur évoquait à la fois les Scythes et les Perses, déjà décrits de longue date par les Grecs ?

| Abstract: L’histoire des fouilles archéologiques dans la citadelle royale de l’Ancienne Nisa est désormais longue et complexe. Notre connaissance de l’architecture et de l’art des Parthes a tiré un bénéfice fondamental des recherches menées dans l’antique Mithridatkert (ou Mihrdarkirt), l'un des premiers centres monumentaux des Arsacides. À partir des années trente tout d’abord, grâce aux sondages ponctuels de Maroushenko, puis grâce à la mission soviétique de la YuTAKE (1946-1967) et enfin, dans le dernier quart du XXe siècle, grâce aux missions conjointes turkmènes, russes et italiennes.

| Abstract: "Nisa des Parthes" compte parmi les sites historiques les plus extraordinaires. Le récit de son histoire peut débuter de la même manière que la Bible : "Au début était le verbe". Il y a environ 2000 ans, Isidore, un savant grec originaire de la ville de Charax située sur le cours inférieur de l'Euphrate, a réalisé une brève description des routes commerciales et guerrières les plus importantes sur le territoire de l'empire parthe. Outre cette cartographie, il a également signalé plusieurs établissements et sites notables sur cet itinéraire. Concernant la ville de Nisa-Nisaya, qui est située aux confins du territoire parthe, il écrit "ici, se trouvent les tombeaux des rois parthes". il s'agit pratiquement du seul commentaire sur cette ville qui se soit conservé. Mais les quelques annotations existantes on été suffisantes pour susciter le vit intérêt de plusieurs générations d'orientalistes et pour les inciter à retrouver cette ville et ces tombeaux.

| London: I.B. Tauris, 2008 | ||
| Abstract: Decline and Fall of the Sasanian Empire has already been praised as one of the most intellectually exciting books about ancient Persia to have been published for years. It proposes a convincing contemporary answer answer to an ages-old mystery and conundrum: why, in the seventh century CE, did the seemingly powerful and secure Sasanian empire of Persia succumb so quickly and disastrously to the all-conquering Arab armies of Islam? Offering an impressive appraisal of the Sasanians' nemesis at the hands of the Arab forces which scythed all before them, the author suggests a bold solution to the enigma. On the face of it, the collapse of the Sasanians--given their strength and imperial power in the earlier part of the century--looks startling and inexplicable. But Professor Pourshariati explains their fall in terms of an earlier corrosion and decline, and as a result of their own internal weaknesses. The decentralized dynastic system of the Sasanian empire, whose backbone was a Sasanian-Parthian alliance, contained the seeds of its own destruction. This confederacy soon became unstable, and its degeneration sealed the fate of a doomed dynasty. [Publisher] | ||
