List of Numismatic Auction Catalogues and Fixed Price Lists (1996 ff.)
1996
Abstract: The master listing of numismatic sales literature. As of 25 Oct 2009, c. 45,000 items.
This collection exists as a research tool. Its scope is universal, covering all areas and periods, and including sales not only of coins but of other numismatic materials: paper money, tokens, medals, decorations, balances and weights. Some individual non-numismatic (e.g. archaeological) sales are included when the main series is numismatic, but this variation is not consistent. We tend not to acquire two categories of material: unillustrated catalogues and lists, and those devoted exclusively to 19th and 20th-century coins -- although again some are included when they make part of a series of catalogues which also includes research material.

"Notes on the chemical composition of Parthian coins with special reference to the drachms of Orodes I" (1950)
The Ohio Journal of Science, 1950, vol. 50, no. 3 (May), p. 107-120.
Abstract: Paper presented in part at the meeting of the Ohio Academy of Science, Granville, Ohio, April, 1949.

Over a thousand ancient coins of Greek and Roman origin have been assayed or analyzed, but only a few Parthian coins have been so investigated. It might reasonably be expected, however, that the chemical investigation of the coins of the Parthian Empire would lead to results just as interesting as those that have been obtained from the chemical investigation of the coins of other ancient states. Indeed, in view of our total lack of ancient literary information concerning the coins of this great eastern empire, it might be expected that the results of the chemical investigation of such coins would lead to results of relatively greater interest. Furthermore, since the coins constitute the chief, and almost the only certain, archaeological remains of the Parthian Empire, any information that can be obtained from a chemical study of these coins will not only be a contribution to the obscure numismatic history of this empire but may be a contribution to its still more obscure economic history. This paper contains a summary of what little has been done in the past on this subject, the results of chemical analyses of some Parthian silver and bronze coins, and interpretations of some of these results.

Les tétradrachmes d'Orodès II et de Phraate IV : étude du rythme de leur production monétaire à la lumière d'une grande trouvaille (1994)
Paris: Studia Iranica, 1994, vol. 14, 96 p.
Abstract: This study of an exceptional collection of 430 tetradrachms of Orodes II (ca. 57-38 B.C.) and of Phraates IV (ca. 38-32 B.C.) allows, for the first time in Parthian numismatics, a die study. The case in point is all the more favorable as most of the Phraates IV issues are dated to the nearest month. 355 coins were struck in less than 5 years, from March of 27 to September of 23 B.C. The benefits of this situation are numerous: a new classification based on the chronology and no longer on types, a study of the frequency and volume of these issues, a comparison of this frequency with historical events as reported in written sources, a comparison of this frequency with other coinages of reference, a study of weights, etc. A particular attention has been paid to the iconographic details as well as to the forms of the letters. Finally, extensive supplementary material (292 specimens) gathered from museums and catalogues ensures the good representativeness of these 430 tetradrachms. [Author].

Abstract: Les relations culturelles entre le nord-ouest du sous-continent et l’Iran sont soumises aux relations politiques sans doute, pendant les périodes de domination entre autres, mais elles en sont souvent indépendantes, liées à l’origine ethnique des populations nouvelles, parfois aussi à la religion, malgré la diffusion du bouddhisme. Par ailleurs, l’influence iranisante affecte inégalement les régions (Afghanistan et Pakistan). Les relations commerciales maritimes sont à juste titre soulignées par l’auteur. Parmi d’autres mises au point utiles, l’A. rappelle que l’influence de l’architecture et de l’art achéménides sur les constructions princières du Nord-Ouest du sous-continent indien, et même plus loin à l’est, ne fut pas directe (des artistes de la cour perse, au chômage après Alexandre, émigrèrent en Inde) ; elle fut le résultat d’un goût partagé par les élites hellénisées des différentes régions de reprendre l’art aulique achéménide.

"Provenance study of rubies from a Parthian statuette by PIXE analysis" (1998)
In: Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms
Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research, 1998, vol. 136-138, no. March, p. 846-850.
Abstract: The aim of this work was the characterization of three red inlays of a Parthian statuette (3rd century B.C.) originating from Babylon, Mesopotamia. The external beam setup of AGLAE was used in order to determine the chemical composition of the inlays. PIXE analysis confirmed the expected nature of the cabochons: ruby, and not colored glass as previously reported. According to these results, this archaeological object contains one of the oldest rubies left today. Moreover, quantitative analysis of trace elements allowed us to infer the geographic origin of these gems. PIXE analyses of a batch of 57 rubies from nine well-known sources were carried out in order to establish a geochemical database. The use of multivariate statistical methods enables us to restrict the possible provenance to either Ceylon (Sri Lanka) or more likely Burma (Myanmar). [Author]

The statuette examined is located in the Louvre collection, AO 20127.

Dio's Roman history / with an English translation by Earnest Cary, on the basis of the version of Herbert Baldwin Foster (1961)
In: The Loeb classical library. Greek authors (9 volumes)

Abstract: Romaika. Covers the period from Parthia's first contact with Rome to the downfall of the Parthian empire. The work is invaluable, since it contains much not found elsewhere; but its accuracy must often be questioned, and portions of it are very fragmentary. The arrangements of these fragments, generally quotations from other authors, is not entirely satisfactory. In many cases they are much abridged -- a condition which leads to still further complications. For the period of the downfall of the Parthian empire, with which he was contemporary, the very brief statements of Dio have unusual value. [Debevoise (1938), p. xxviii]

Faïences de l'antiquité : de l'Egypte à l'Iran (2005)
Paris: Musée du Louvre, 2005, 206 p.
Abstract: Catalog of the exhibition held at Musée du Louvre, Paris, June 10-Sept. 12, 2005

Cet ouvrage est le reflet de l'exposition consacrée aux objets archéologiques en faïence qui s'est tenue au Louvre l'été 2005. Plus qu'un catalogue d'exposition, éphémère par définition, il a l'ambition d'être un véritable livre de référence de cette technique de l'Antiquité qui a été utilisée pour des réalisations très colorées, vivantes et extrêmement séduisantes. Cet ouvrage traite en outre, pour les besoins de cette présentation, d'autres techniques et matériaux apparentés, faïence, glaçure, fritte, verre, céramique argileurse glaçurée, qui ont été élaborés pendant des millénaires par les ateliers d'Egypte et de Mésopotamie.
