| Abstract: Gives the history of excavations at Nisa, and then describes the latest efforts under Philipko, which began in 1979. The article concludes that the purpose of Nisa complex as a whole is very complicated and far from being resolved definitely. It has neither been established that the fortress at Nisa was a royal residence nor a mausoleum. Pilipko currently believes, in the absence of other proof, that Staraia (Old) Nisa can best be described as a Parthian dynastic or general religious center. | ||

| Abstract: "Nisa des Parthes" compte parmi les sites historiques les plus extraordinaires. Le récit de son histoire peut débuter de la même manière que la Bible : "Au début était le verbe". Il y a environ 2000 ans, Isidore, un savant grec originaire de la ville de Charax située sur le cours inférieur de l'Euphrate, a réalisé une brève description des routes commerciales et guerrières les plus importantes sur le territoire de l'empire parthe. Outre cette cartographie, il a également signalé plusieurs établissements et sites notables sur cet itinéraire. Concernant la ville de Nisa-Nisaya, qui est située aux confins du territoire parthe, il écrit "ici, se trouvent les tombeaux des rois parthes". il s'agit pratiquement du seul commentaire sur cette ville qui se soit conservé. Mais les quelques annotations existantes on été suffisantes pour susciter le vit intérêt de plusieurs générations d'orientalistes et pour les inciter à retrouver cette ville et ces tombeaux.

| Abstract: "The information provided by Plutarch in his Lives, especially those of Crassus and Antony, is based on first-rate sources. With allowances for such patriotic biases as the attempts of the military to find an excuse for the defeat of Crassus, this biographer provides us with some of our most extensive connected narratives in Parthian history."

| Perceptions of Classical Armenia: Romano-Parthian Relations, 70 BC-220 AD (2003) | ||
| Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University, 2003 | ||
| Abstract: Relative to its importance, little research has been done on the Romano-Parthian rivalry that existed during the first two centuries AD. By extension, even less has been written concerning the kingdom of classical Armenia, which often served as the focal point of that bitter conflict. The absence of such research is regrettable, for it was this very rivalry that dictated how the Empire’s eastern border would be defined. According to many modern scholars and several of the classical authors, Romans feared the looming threat of the Parthian state. Although such panic was unfounded, this fear supposedly then prompted the Empire’s prolonged obsession with the territory of Armenia, which both the scholarly and primary sources look upon as a military buffer state. Yet in reality, Roman action in the East was not the result of a collective decision of all Roman citizens, but rather brought about by the individual wants and desires of Rome’s leaders. These leaders regarded Armenia not as a buffer state, but as a staging ground for their various campaigns against Parthia. It was their personal ambitions, rather than Rome’s collective fear, that drew Armenia under the veil of Roman hegemony. This project intends to examine Armenia’s role in the Romano- Parthian conflict and hopes to prove that Roman imperialism was not defensive, as some scholars assert, but rather the end product of the ambitions of individual Roman leaders. | ||

| Abstract:
Overview: 737 catalogued objects were on view, dating from prehistoric times to the late 19th century and including pottery, metalwork of bronze, gold, and silver, weapons and jewelry, paintings, carpets, and textiles. The exhibition was made up of some 500 objects from the collection of Mohssen Foroughi, brother of the Iranian ambassador to the United States, and some 200 pieces selected from the archaeological museum in Tehran by Richard Ettinghausen. The Foroughi collection had been shown in 6 European museums in 1961-1963 (Sept Mille Ans d'Art en Iran). 12 objects considered to be of doubtful authenticity were withdrawn. The show was opened by the Shah and the Empress Farah, who were in Washington to discuss increased foreign aid to Iran with President Lyndon Johnson.
