| Journal of the Numismatic Society of India, 1970, vol. 32, p. 144-149. | ||
| Abstract: The indo-Greeks struck coins in northwestern India on a weight standard different from the Attic one which were meant to meet local demand for coinage on a locally known standard and relate the intrinsic value of silver coins of Bactria with that of silver issues in northwestern India.

| "The location of the mint of some Indo-Parthian coins (1971) | ||
| Journal of the Numismatic Society of India, 1971, vol. 33, p. 110-111. | ||
| Abstract: Seistan is identified as the mint of some of the copper and billon coins of Gondophares, which bear a Greek legend only and show obv.: seated figure, and rev.: winged Nike. [P. L. Gupta] | ||
| "An interesting coin of a Parthian (?) ruler called Bannega" (1974) | ||
| Monthly Bulletin of the Asiatic Society, 1974, no. August, p. 7-8. | ||
| Abstract: A debased silver coin with obv.: bearded bust and Parthian legend [Sa Banaga] meaning King (?) Banaga and rev.: male seated on throne holding bow with legend in corrupt Greek, of which only part is legible, and read as BANNEGA, was struck on a weight standard of later Parthian drachms and issued in the era of Vologases I in an area where imperial Parthian drachms with this device circulated. It is not certain whether the ruler was an independent king or acknowledged the nominal suzerainty of an Arsacid overlord. Two other coins of this ruler are mentioned. [P. L. Gupta] | ||
| "A Variety of Silver Coin of Sanabares" (1981) | ||
| Numismatic Digest, 1981, vol. 5 Pt. 2, p. 19-22. | ||
| Abstract: An Indo-Parthian coin bears the name of Sanabares in Pahlavik or Arsacid script on the obverse but does not carry it in the Greek legend on the reverse. Rather, Toggidata appears there. Thus, the piece may represent a joint rule. (P.L. Gupta) | ||
| "An Interesting Scytho-Parthian Coin" (1983) | ||
| Journal of the Numismatic Society of India, 1983, vol. 45, p. 27-30. | ||
| Abstract: One of the 29 Scytho-Parthian coins which were found in the Swat region of Pakistan and which were published earlier by G. Le Rider (Revue de Etudes Gracques Vol 80 [1967] p. 331) is presented. It depicts an enthroned female, the first appearance of a Scytho-Parthian queen, with the Greek inscription Badillddex Qeotropou Macenex on the obverse and a standing Zeus withthe Kharoshthi legend Rajatirajsa Mahatas Moasa. The hoard also contained 16 specimens of Maues with Zeus on the obverse and a winged Nike on the reverse. The remaining dozen pieces were assigned to Vonones and Spalahora. (P.L. Gupta) | ||

| Abstract: 1968, published 1970. On the coins of the first dynasts of Persis, (3rd century B.C.) the title of the dynast has been read in different ways. The reading fratadara, meaning guardian of the fire, has been generally accepted. There are several reasons to preferfrataraka, govenor, or even the long abandoned fratakara, the first of the army, the chief of the army. [Author] | ||

[Author] On the first series of the coins of Persis the dynast is depicted worshipping near an object or building, eithera fire-altar or a fire-tower. Comparisons with Median reliefs, Achamenid reliefs and seals and later coins of Persis and Sasanians prove a fire-altar is represented. [Author] | ||

| Abstract: Recent analyses on glassware from archaeological excavations in central and Northern Mesopotamian sites (Seleucia and Hatra) have allowed the revison of the glassware typology in Mesopotamia during the Parthian period, with reference to the local production and the parallel imports from the Mediterranean area. The revision has been extended to glassware types from graves of sites in central Iraq (Abu Skhair and Umm Khashm) for which it has now been possible to reconstruct the association contexts, and therefore to propose more precise dates for glassware types associated with datable objects. The graves were in use from the 2nd / 3rd to the 6th centuries, and their funerary accoutrements include glassware types of up to now very uncertain date, with parallels both in the central and Southern Mesopotamia and in the Persian Gulf, South Arabian and Iranian areas. The dating of the Mesopotamian glassware can therefore allow a first step for an archaeologically-based appraisal of the evolution of the glassware production in the borderlands of the late Roman/ Byzantine and Sasanian Empires during the crucial period from the early to the late Sasanian period.
