| Abstract:
Phoenix Paperbacks: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2004. A classic novel set in Ancient Rome by a bestselling author - two Gauls join the doomed Roman army marching into what is now Iraq. Camul and Acco were both Gauls of the Pyrenees living at the time of Julius Caesar, both young and proud of their noble descent; Acco was also an Ovate training to be a Druid. In avenging the girl he loved Acco brought upon himself the curse of the Goddess; and in consequence both men left home to join the Roman army. The story tells of their adventures and travels which took them to Rome and across the greater part of the Empire as far as its Eastern rim. Duggan includes a brilliant account of the fate of Marcus Crassus's expedition of seven Roman legions and Gallic cavalry which set out to plunder Seleucia and met with the Parthian horse-bowmen under their leader the Surenas. [Publisher] "WINTER QUARTERS covers a remarkable amount of ground, and covers it convincingly...Mr Duggan throws the strengths and weaknesses of the era into sharp relief...damnably skilful" [Sunday Times] | ||

| Abstract:
Dictionary of Manichaean Parthian and Middle Persian. This book should prove immensely practical since the entries are equipped with information about the pertaining inflexional forms - and the places of the fragments where each form is to be found. The manuscripts are identified by the numbers (and the references to the place where every word (with the exception of some most frequent words) is found by manuscript number + r(ecto) / v(erso) + number of column if applicable + number of line) which are those of the digital archive and also the index, so one can check what is written there.

| Abstract: The ‘Hymns to the Living Soul’ presents texts in the Iranian languages Middle Persian and Parthian from the Turfan Collection in Berlin together with two fragments from the Otani Collection in Kyoto and one from St. Petersburg. The texts belong to the Manichaean community in Central Asia of a millennium ago which used Middle Persian and Parthian hymns in its rituals and celebrations. These hymns are predominantly in Parthian. They focus on a key area of Manichaean theology, the imprisonment of the divine principle light in the material world and the need for the Manichaean Chosen Ones to free this light, as they free themselves, in order to send it back to the paradise of light to where the Chosen Ones will eventually follow it. This edition gathers all the relevant published and unpublished texts (lists of hymns, hymns and ‘cantillated’ hymns as well as some possibly related hymns) and presents them in diplomatic edition together with a transcription and translation into English on facing pages. Unlike in previous editions great attention is paid to the formal structure of the hymns. An extensive introduction, notes, a complete glossary and facsimiles of fragments not previously reproduced accompany the edition. [Publisher] | ||

Ces émissions se sont ensuite prolongées jusqu'à la fin de leur dynastie. Elles ont depuis longtemps attiré l'attention des savants par leur apparence, mais aussi parce qu'elles fournissent des indications précieuses – parfois difficiles à interpréter – sur l'histoire de cet empire.

| Abstract:
The aim of this book is to search for evidence of Oriental opposition to Hellenic imperialism, to discover its causes and the ways it was advocated and justified, to show what forms it took, and to find out what effects it had, both immediate and more far-reaching. The resistance was justified almost universally in religious terms, especially from the point of view of the Oriental theology about kingship. Kings were believed to be vice-regents of the great high gods, of Ahura Mazdah, of Yahweh, or of Marduk, or even to be gods themselves, as in Egypt. The law these kings enforced was divine law; therefore, Macedonian and Greek imperialism was an attack on the all-ruling gods of the East. The Eastern regions examined are: Persia, the other parts of Iran, Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, Jewish Palestine, the settlements of Jews elsewhere in the ancient world, and Egypt. Each of these regions or peoples had its own unique culture, different in greater or lesser degree from all the other civilizations in the Near East. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract:
Thesis (D.Phil.)--University of Oxford, 1995 Abstract: The archaeology and history of the Parthian period (c. 150 B. C. - A. D. 250) in Iraq has received little serious attention from scholars in recent years. This thesis used objects in British museum collections from Nineveh as a focus for the study of this period in Northern Mesopotamia, combining traditional archaeological and numismatic analysis with scientific studies. Chapter I presents a critical analysis of the excavated evidence for the occupation of Nineveh in the Parthian period with special attention to distinctive artefacts such as figurines, lamps, and moulded bowls. Chapter II uses petrographic and chemical analysis of selected ceramics to elucidate the materials and methods of manufacture, with particular attention to identifying local and foreign wares: Special attention is paid to glazed wares. Chapter III is a numismatic study based on a major hoard of Parthian bronze coins from Nineveh. A complete re-classification of the hoard not only identifies a number of new coin types, but also provides a revised list of the rulers who issued coins of Nineveh. Chapter IV investigates all aspects of Roman involvement with Nineveh and its place in the stormy relationship between Rome and Parthia. Evidence is advanced for there having been contingents of Roman troops stationed at Nineveh and the site placed within its context in the state of Adiabene. (Index to Theses 46-356) | ||

| Abstract:
This paper addresses ceramic and glass materials form the Parthian (150 BC-AD 250) period in Mesopotamia, with particular reference to political motives for continuity rather than change. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Parthian tradition of green glazed ceramics (using a soda-lime alkali glaze) is not one from Iran, but rather one that was adapted from southern Mesopotamia and brought north as the Parthians extended their political control. The green glaze tradition did not reach Central Asia until the late Parthian period, and a similar glazing technology was not adopted (in antiquity) in western China until the T'ang Dynasty (AD 618-907). This geographical progression of green glaze points to a number of interesting observations. Perhaps the most significant is that during this period trade in vessels to various areas did not appear to stimulate local imitation wares of a particular type were associated with political blocks. More significantly, the tradition of Roman lead glazing was not adopted in any of the Parthian regions, and did not spread into Mesopotamia or Central Asia. The site of Nineveh during the Parthian period is most instructive, as technologically superior lead glazed vessels from Anatolia were produced no more than 200 kilometres away from the site. There appears to be some attempt at local imitation, but Parthian wares of Roman style from Nineveh are crudely made with a slip instead of a lead glaze. Glass also appears to have been produced on a limited scale in the Parthian empire. While the site of Dura-Europos on the Euphrates - in Roman controlled Syria - offers substantial evidence for the trade of glass, there is a corresponding lack of evidence from Nineveh or other Parthian sites. Although a number of studies have addressed the topic of technological change without particular regard to national boundaries, it is clear that during the Parthian period there was a significant divide between Roman and Parthian worlds.
