| Vienna: Verlag der Österreichischen Akademie, 2003 | ||
| Abstract:
The new series Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum, Paris-Berlin-Wien, has as its aim the joint publication of the holdings of Sasanid coins preserved in the Cabinet des Médailles in Paris as well as the Münzkabinette in Berlin and Vienna. The three collections hold a total of ca. 11,000 of these coins, which will be published in 6 volumes. This first volume contains the coins of the founder of the dynasty, Ardashir I (224-240) and his son, Shapur I (240-272). It was during this foundation phase of the Sasanid state that the basic structures of Sasanid coinage system were established, structures that were preserved almost unchanged until the end of the dynasty in the 7th century. The catalogue of coins is complemented by an introductory chapter in German (Ardashir I) and French (Shapur I) containing a general survey of sources together with a brief historical survey and commentary on numismatic and monetary history. The aim is to demonstrate the value and informative status of the numismatic source material in the interplay with archaeological and epigraphic evidence and the literary record. An additional summary of the results in English is included. Of special interest is a section devoted to the palaeographic evaluation of Middle Persian coin legends by P. O. Skjærvø (Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University). A further chapter deals with extensive metal analyses which for the first time allow an insight into the composition of alloyages used for the various denominations of the Sasanid currency system. | ||

| Abstract:
"Hatra is considered one of the most important ancient site in Iraq. Its standing monuments, which are built on hewn stone and gypsum, are impressive, and its location in a semi-desert, far from modern towns, is charming. "This guide-book, by including the latest discoveries, will no doubt serve well to understand the history and culture of the city. Hatra played, in the first three centuries A.D., an outstanding role politically, militarily, economically, and religiously. "Hatra was fraught with the task of defending the western frontiers of the Parthian Empire from the onslaught of the highly organized Roman armies, and making whatever a victory could be achieved in the field, ephemeral and valueless."

| Abstract:
Includes coins from the excavations at Hatra. The finds comprise two hoards: one of Seleucid tetradrachms of Phillip Philadelphus, and one of late Parthian tetradrachms. The illustrated specimens show dates from 176/177 to 190/191 A.D. [Mørkholm, "Greece to India", 1979] Isolated finds at Hatra in northern Iraq were mainly local imitations of 1st- and 2nd-century Antioch bronzes (113 in all), but some Seleucid, Parthian, Roman and Sasanian coins were also found. Two hoards were discovered, one of 1510 silver coins, mostly Parthian with some Seleucid, and another of 103 silver Seleucid issues. The coins are described. [Michael L. Bates] | ||

| Sculptures of Hatrans: A Study of Costume and Jewelry (1986) | ||
| 1986, 457 p. | ||
| Abstract: The city of Hatra and its remains are often described by archaeologists and cultural historians as part of the Parthian culture. To investigate this claim thoroughly, a selected group of Hatran sculpture is analyzed to reconstruct a comprehensive image of Hatran costume and jewelry, first to test whether its main characteristics contain sufficient specific indigenous traits, and secondly to screen for possible affinity with other cultures. The selected sculptures of both male and female figures are first analyzed individually. Elements of costume and jewelry are subsequently arranged in groups, and a typology is established on the basis of artifact functions and design patterns. This type-study provided the tools to investigate the presence or absence of individual elements in cultures other than Hatra. In the absence of finds of actual jewelry or costumes, the sculpture of Hatran personnages--due to its overall precise rendering of 'realia'--proved to be an excellent source for the study of Hatran costume and jewelry. Both costumes and their accoutrements reflect the following: (1) The military and religious character of the city and the social classes of the Hatran community; (2) The growing wealth and prosperity initiated during the first half of the second century A.D. and lasting until the fall of the city in A.D. 241; (3) The foreign influence and cultural contact with the neighboring centers of Syria and Parthia and the far distant centers in central Asia and India; (4) The female statues' costume under the influence of Hellenistic costume, whereas the males' costume reflects Mesopotamian and central Asian influence; (5) The jewelry of the females demonstrates Syrian influence and the males' jewelry shows Assyrian and central Asian influence; (6) The Parthians themselves did not contribute much in the formation of Hatran culture but probably played the role of the carriers for central Asian cultural elements; (7) The contribution of the local artisans is more noticeable in the decoration and embroidery of costume and the invention of certain jewelry types; (8) In spite of the presence of foreign elements, the Hatrans had developed an indigenous cultural identity of their own, different from the contemporary cultures of Roman Syria and Parthia. | ||

| Colorado Springs: American Numismatic Association, 2000 | ||
| Abstract:
The Counterfeit Coin Bulletin was launched as a joint effort by the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN). It replaced the Bulletin on Counterfeits which had been produced by the International Bureau for the Suppression of Counterfeit Coins (IBSCC) for the IAPN since the 1970s. Unfortunately, in 2003 the ANA no longer felt able to continue with the joint venture. As of May 2004 the IAPN had not announced a successor journal.

| "Parthian Gold and Silver: Genuine Coins or Modern Forgeries?" (2001) | ||

| Abstract: A group of silver and gold Parthian coins were declared false in Bulletin on Counterfeits 19/2 (1994/5). The condemnation was challenged and the issue resolved through legally binding arbitration. This article summarizes the arbitrator's final report. Quoting the measured, thoughtful words of a true numismatic scholar, the report is harsh condemnation indeed. | ||

It is possible that they comprised part of an exchange made by the two museums. [Jerome M. Esienberg] | ||
