| Moscow: Nauka, 1989, 233 p. | ||
| Abstract:
Tillia-tepe is the site of the only Parthian gold coin found in archaelogical context. Pugachenkova and Rempel, "Tillia-tepe" (1991) challenge some of Sarianidi's conclusions, and make a case for the entire complex of coins from Tillya-tepe invoking a Saka-Parthian and Indo-Parthian milieux rather than that of the Yuëh-chih. See review: Olbrycht, M. J., Folia Orientalia 27 (1990), 273-275 (in English). | ||

| London: I.B. Tauris, 1996, p. 20-23. | ||
| Abstract: The art of the Parthian and Sasanian empires exercised enormous influence on art and culture in the early Islamic period and its legacy has continuing relevance in modern times. Pre-Islamic stylistic developments and motifs were widely adopted in the Islamic period: traditional mosque architecture, for example, draws much from Parthian and Sasanian forms. | ||
