| The Parthian Stations (2007) | ||
| Carcanet, 2007, 96 p. | ||
| Abstract:
Modern poetry. The document known as "The Parthian Stations" is an account of the overland route from Antioch to the borders of India in the first century BC. John Ash's own "Parthian Stations" begins with his departure from New York to Istanbul. It is a journey, as he writes, not so much between contrasting cities as 'between different versions of the same city', to a place that is exotic and familiar, spanning West and East, past and present, where cultures and histories intersect. It holds memories and encounters: time dissolves, but it is also vividly real, with buses, restaurants and meetings with friends. Precise, witty and unpredictable, John Ash writes as the watchful outsider, with the insights of a resident. "The Parthian Stations" continues his exploration of what it means to be a part of a culture, to celebrate what is loved and ultimately unknowable. [Publisher] "The title poem tells of ancient Parthia and its clashes with Rome. As he contemplates forgotten names of places that signify "the people dying in their thousands, / corpses uncounted under the rubble", he laments ignorance of the past and the east, the casualties of Afghanistan and Iraq as well as of the Roman age. He also acknowledges how difficult it is to avoid failures of sympathy and understanding, to feel for so many dead."

| Abstract:
One conspicuous feature of Tacitus' Annals is the regularity with which the narrative is punctuated by sections on Parthia. Critics have offered a range of explanations for these digressions. So, Syme emphasises the contemporary historical importance of passages which illustrate the best technique for dealing efficiently with the Parthians, while Keitel argues that the contrapuntual narrative of events in Rome and in the east articulates the inevitable pattern that dynastic politics follow everywhere.(1) Both methods are valid and yield fruitful interpretations, but an analysis which blends the historical and the literary modes of investigation will prove a productive strategy, given the distinctive nature of ancient historiography as a genre. This paper examine Tacitus' account of a minor battle between the Parthians and a mixed Albanian, Iberian and Sarmatian army (Annals 6.34-5). By establishing how Tacitus constructs exaggerated ethnographical differences between these two eastern armies, I suggest that the historian deconstructs the traditional image of Parthia as an intimidating military power. Tacitus invests the prelude to the battle with distinctive literary colour, which polarises the leaders and armies on both sides and leads us to expect a momentous encounter, but the shambolic battle itself deflates the dramatic build-up. Tacitus adds rhetorical 'flesh' to the historical 'skeleton' of the battle and offers an exemplary lesson, not only about Parthian national character, but also about Tiberius' foreign policy. To some historians, the AD36 battle between Parthians and a motley collection of other eastern tribes might have seemed trivial enough to treat on a much smaller scale than Tacitus does. However, ancient historiography had as much to do with the writer's own world as it did with his past: Tacitus' unusual battle narrative, extended by literary touches, offers a provocative historical lesson to those Romans who had to pick up the pieces after Trajan's glamorous but ineffectual campaigns in the east.

| Abstract:
There is a printing error on page 77 of the text. A solid line incorrectly connects Arsaces II with the son of Tiridates (brother of Arsaces I) in the genealogical chart originally proposed by G.A. Koshelenko and should be ignored. Part II of this article appears in Parthica 7 (2005) En se nommant tous Arsace (Arshak) sur leurs monnaies, du nom du fondateur de la dynastie parthe vers 247, les rois parthes n’ont pas facilité la reconstitution de leur généalogie. L’A. discute ici de la parenté et de la succession des premiers rois jusqu’au 2e s. av. J.-C., en reprenant l’étude de cinq inscriptions sur jarre et d’ostraca de Nisa, tout en utilisant largement le témoignage de Justin et les données numismatiques. Il conserve, dans le texte, la succession traditionnelle, tandis que dans un tableau final, il ajoute un roi, un petit-fils du fondateur, et modifie la parenté des deux successeurs de Mithridate I, changements qui semblent reposer sur d’autres articles de l’auteur.

| Sassanian Art in Eastern Fars: The Excavation of a Manor House at Hajiabad, Darab, Iran (1987) | ||
| University of California, Los Angeles: 1987 | ||
| Abstract: Hajiabad is a large village near Darab, in eastern Fars, the southern province of Iran. During the summer of 1977 a mound situated in the vicinity of the village was bulldozed for agricultural reasons. The discovery of numerous high-quality stucco works during the course of the bulldozing prompted the Iranian Center for Archaeological Research to organize the first, and so far the only, excavation of the site. As a result of this excavation, a structure, subsequently called the Manor House, was uncovered. Although the building was extensively damaged by the bulldozing, I was able to reconstruct much of its plan in drawings. A comparison of this plan with other Parthian, Sassanian, Kusan, and Islamic large-scale dwellings and palatial structures shows that the Manor House was probably composed of different groups of units, each having a different function. Four such groups survive, here called Sections A, B, C, and D. My study indicates that the two parts of Section A were probably used for public and private audience. Section C was the chapel, itself divided into two parts; one part may have been dedicated to the cult of Anahita and the other to Fire. Section B, a private residential area, was connected to the public part of Section A and probably served to accommodate guests of rank or attendants. Part of Section D was probably used by the lord of the Manor. Sections A and C were extensively decorated, the former with stucco and murals and the latter exclusively with stucco. Wall paintings uncovered in the public part of Section A comprise portraits, as well as what is probably a battle scene between two cavalry men. The stuccos from Section C include secular and religious subjects. The first group is composed mainly of busts, several of which can be fairly securely identified. The cult of a fertility goddess, probably Anahita, is the subject of the remaining stuccos from Section C. | ||
