| In: 2 volumes | ||

| Abstract:
A study on the chronology of the sculpure, primarily large-scale, of the Parthian Empire. The catalogue describes individual sculptural monuments and enumerates results and proposals of previous research. The text volume attempts to date the monuments according to their style and other criteria (such as iconographical traits, historical identifications or the contents of accompanying inscriptions and technical details). The study deals with sculptures from the central part of the Parthian Empire, defined as the area from around the Euphrates in the west (including a few monuments from Edesa and ancient Armenia) to the eastern frontiers of Iran, and from the Persian Gulf in the south to Parthyene, the southern part of Soviet Turkmenistan, in the north. However, some ivory reliefs found at Olbia and normally included in studies on Parthian art are also treated here. [Publisher] Contents: Volume I: Early Parthian sculpture (c. 250-1 BC); Middle Parthian sculpture (c. 1-150 AD); Late Parthian sculpture (c. 150-225 AD) - Late Parthian I (c. 150-200 AD), Late Parthian II (c. 200-225); Sub-Parthian sculpture at Hatra (the 230s AD); appendices - a survey of the sculpture of Hatra, the sculptures of Dura-Europos, the testimony of the coins, commagene, the sculpture of Antiochos I Theos (c. 69-36 BC), Parthian kings. Volume II Catalogue: Elymais-Susiana; Persis; the Persian Gulf; Central Iran; Iranian Kurdistan; Iraqi Kurdistan; Turkmenistan; Ukraine; Greater Mesopotamia; museums and private collections. | ||

| Rome and the enemy : imperial strategy in the principate (1999) | ||
| Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999, xviii+259 p. | ||
| Abstract:
How did the Romans build and maintain one of the most powerful and stable empires in the history of the world? This illuminating book draws on the literature, especially the historiography, composed by the members of the elite who conducted Roman foreign affairs. From this evidence, Susan P. Mattern reevaluates the roots, motivations, and goals of Roman imperial foreign policy especially as that policy related to warfare. In a major reinterpretation of the sources, Rome and the Enemy shows that concepts of national honor, fierce competition for status, and revenge drove Roman foreign policy, and though different from the highly rationalizing strategies often attributed to the Romans, dictated patterns of response that remained consistent over centuries. Mattern reconstructs the world view of the Roman decision-makers, the emperors, and the elite from which they drew their advisers. She discusses Roman conceptions of geography, strategy, economics, and the influence of traditional Roman values on the conduct of military campaigns. She shows that these leaders were more strongly influenced by a traditional, stereotyped perception of the enemy and a drive to avenge insults to their national honor than by concepts of defensible borders. In fact, the desire to enforce an image of Roman power was a major policy goal behind many of their most brutal and aggressive campaigns. Rome and the Enemy provides a fascinating look into the Roman mind in addition to a compelling reexamination of Roman conceptions of warfare and national honor. The resulting picture creates a new understanding of Rome's long mastery of the Mediterranean world. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract:
The gripping stories of the most colourful and formidable characters to challenge the might of rome.... Hannibal, Arminius, Boudicca, Josephus, Decebalus, Shapur I, Phillip V, Zenobia, Vitiathus, Alaric, Jugurtha, Attila, Mithridates, Spartacus, Vercingetorix, Orodes II, Cleopatra. Until recently it was assumed that Rome carried the torch of civilization into the barbarian darkness,bringing law,architecture and literate to conquered peoples.An alternative view now suggests that many of Rome's enemies - the Celts and Dacian's for example - were developing civilisations in their own right before obliteration at the Roman sword.

| Abstract: Translates a tablet dated 219 SE (= 94/3 B.C., from the reign of Mithradates II), in which the scribe gives an account of re-smelting gold probably "as a means of insuring the standard of the coinage". This is found in tablet AB 245 (ex Bodleian Library, now in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK). The author comments that "gold is not attested in the economic texts of the Seleucid period, but to judge from the fact that it is mentioned here in relatively small quantities as gifts to the temple, it would seem that it was again in general circulation during the Arsacid period." | ||

| Abstract:
A fully illustrated catalogue of over 1000 Greek coins in the collection of the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries, this publication offers within a single volume a remarkably full survey of the broad sweep of Greek coinage. The particularly rich collection held at Newcastle contains a number of important and rare coins, drawn from all areas of the Greek world, from Spain, Numidia and Carthage in the West to Greece, Asia Minor and the Levant in the East. The Newcastle collection has its origins in the exceptional group of Greek coins presented to the Society in 1852 by Algernon, 4th Duke of Northumberland. The collection was further augmented in 1932 through the bequest of Mrs E. F. Streatfeild. [Publisher] Includes two Parthian coins: 850, 851. | ||

| Abstract: Bistoon whose historical name was Tarbaghestan is located 30 km from Kermanshah and was used as a passage from Ekbatan to Babylon during the Achaemenid era. It was used as a trade path along the Silk Road during the Sassanid and Ashkanid eras. Explorations in Bistoon ground to a halt after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In 1999, a new round of excavations got underway in Bistoon after 23 years and Maliheh Mehdiabadi led the project. But in 2001, about 128 monuments were registered as cultural heritage under a single number. [Intro] | ||
