| Abstract: "In the letters which Cicero wrote to his friends and in his dispatches to the Senate during his governorship of Cilicia we find the only connected day-by-day account which has come down to us of any phase of Parthian history. The account is contemporary, and when it deviates from strict fact because of personal bias the change is fairly evident." [Debevoise (1938), p. xxvii-xxix] | ||

Herodotus says grain produced two hundred and even three hundred-fold in this region, and that blades of wheat were often four fingers wide. Either Herodotus got his information from the secretary of the Babylonian Chamber of Commerce, or else Mesopotamia possessed better farmers than any part of the world possesses today.

| Abstract:
Cited by Frye [1984] as a general source for Parthia, but adding little to Debevoise except in realm of art and culture. Plates 38-39 contain 18 Parthian coins (all from BMC), with captions appearing on pp. 167-169. Keal [1989 in The Arts of Persia, p. 49] holds that Colledge is the worst offender in "a tendency for many commentators, from the 13th/19th century to the present, to equate closeness to a classical model with an 'ideal' quality, and departure from these norms with 'debased orientalism'." See reviews by R. N. Frye, Journal of the American Oriental Society, vol. 99 (1976), pp 481-482; E. W. Gray in The Journal of Roman Studies - Bd. 75 (1985). - S. 282-283; Robert H.

| Abstract: Traces migrations of exiled House of Israel from Palestine to Northwestern Europe through Scythia, Parthia, Phoenician colonies, and sea routes. Shows little-known history of the missing 18 years of Jesus from age 12-30, when He began His ministry. Parthia, equal and rival to the Roman Empire, was led by Israelites who were deported from their homeland in Palestine. The "Lost" 10 Tribes of Israel are located through their migrations via sea routes to northwestern Europe and overland routes via Parthia, Scythia, and eastern Europe. The magi who gave gifts to Jesus were Parthian nobility who chose and monitored descendants of the royal House of David as the only ones eligible for the Parthian throne. [Publisher] | ||

| The Development of Trajan's Political Program in the Coin Reverses of the Roman Mint (1981) | ||
| 1981, 342 p. | ||
| Abstract: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the coin- types of Trajan in order to define the development of his political program on the coin reverses. The coinage of the Roman mint is chosen because it is assumed that this mint was under the direct control of Trajan and his advisers. The coin-types of the Roman mint thus offer an 'official' political program for the reign of Trajan. This political program may be divided into two broad periods: A.D. 98-107 and A.D. 107-111. Within the years A.D. 98-107 the coin-types establish the main theme of the political program as warfare, especially in the presentation of the Dacian campaigns. The emperor is presented as the Imperator Invictus, the general who will succeed because he is endowed with Virtus, the virtue necessary to be a successful and victorious commander. After the return of Trajan to Rome in A.D. 107, a new political program is published on the coin reverses. The aim of this program is the establishment of stability in Italy through the care provided for the young, for the farmers of Italy, and for the general population. The concern of the emperor for the welfare of the young and the continuation of a prosperous stability is indicated through the appearance of Aeternitas and the new usage of Spes and Libertas. In this period the emperor is endowed with new virtues, Felicitas, Aequitas, and Salus, so that, as in the earlier period, he is presented not so much as a participant in this program as the source of its inspiration and achievement. The coin-types from A.D. 112-117 present old themes: the Dacian Wars are commemorated in the coin-types which celebrate the dedication of the Forum Traiani and the theme of warfare recurs with the commencement of the Parthian Campaign. This campaign is presented on the coinage through references to specific events; this is a sharp contrast to the depiction of the Dacian Wars on the coin reverses of A.D. 101 to 107, for there the events had been neglected in favor of a deeper symbolic content won through the usage of divinities, personifications, and the depiction of the emperor as Imperator Invictus. This change in the presentation of the Parthian War probably reflects the fact that no further symbolism could be derived from the sphere of warfare and that the symbolic content established in the Dacian Campaigns could not be challenged by the events of a later war.

| Abstract:
Orignially published in Great Britain in 1998 by Pimlico as The Pimlico dictionary of classical civilizations. This is a groundbreaking and authoritative reference to the classical era of the Old World that encompasses the civilizations of Greece, Rome, Persia, India and China in a single, comprehensive volume. The author asserts that these societies, traditionally studied separately, had much in common and even laid the foundations of present-day Europe and Asia. Cotterell includes the complex interrelations that once existed between the Greeks and the Persians, the Macedonians and the Indians, and the Romans and the Parthians. The book covers historical milestones from 600 BC through 600 AD. Alphabetical entries feature cross-references, maps, illustrations and an index. [Publisher] | ||
