The Indo-Parthians. --v. 9. Greeks, Sakas and their contemporaries in central and southern India This study commences at the time when Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire and extended the Greek world as far as the Punjab. The traditional Persian practice of permitting provincial governors (Satraps) to issue their own coins has produced an interesting series of satrapal coins extending from Egypt and Babylon to the Kabul valley where Alexander's father-in-law Oxyartes struck a few coins while satrap during the 320's BC. The more homogeneous coinage of the succeeding Seleucid Empire came to an end, so far as the Eastern provinces were concerned, when they declared their independence during the 250's BC. The Indo-Greek's rose to prominence as they re-conquered southern provinces whose ownership had passed from Alexander and Seleucos to the Indian King Chandragupta Maurya. The Golden Age of the Indo-Greeks ended abruptly during the 130's BC when nomads, migrating from the north, occupied large sections of Afghanistan. But it was not until the years around Christ's birth that the last Indo-Greek king forfeited what little remained of former glory to a pincer movement between the Kushans moving down from the north and Scythians expanding their holdings in Pakistan. The Scythians who had reached Afghanistan during the migration of the 130's BC settled much of the Afghan plateu during ensuing decades. Those who moved furthest organised themselves into a South-East Afghan kingdom ruled by Vonones and acquired a local heritage of Indo-Greek culture. Under new leaders these Indo-Scythians moved further and took much of northen Afghanistan away from the Indo-Greeks during the 1st century BC. Administritive de-centralisation, which had earlier been an asset to the Indo-Greeks, led to the downfall of the Indo-Scythian realm which, fragmented among increasingly powerful satraps, became easy prey to Kushan and Indo-Parthian expansion. Meanwhile, Scythians who had settled under Parthian suzerainty in western Afghanistan consolidated a principality in Seistan and entered a phase of rapid expansion that left their king, Gondophares, master of a vast Indo-Parthian empire in the mid 1st century AD. But northern Pakistan was soon lost when the Kushans entered a new phase of expansion and the more southerly districts of Saurashtra and Broach became the realm of the Western Satraps who commemorated their independence by founding the Saka era in AD 78. Reduced to a purely Afghan kingdom the Indo-Parthian realm split into the two kingdoms of Sakastan and Turan which were subsequently absorbed into the Sassanian Empire. [Spinks catalogue] | ||

| Abstract:
Parthian coinage of the Eastern provinces, Dahae of the East Caspian lowlands, Kingdom of Vonones, Scythian Kingdom in Pakistan. Parthian coins are covered from 248 BC to 45 AD on pages 414-429 as types 616-648. Includes illustrations of some of the Sellwood collection Parthian coins. Some Scythians who had arrived in Afghanistan during the 130s B.C. settled in northern Afghanistan but others moved down the western Afghan plateau, across southern Afghanistan and down to the plains of Pakistan. During this period, they came into conflict with the Parthians and the Indo-Greeks. The Sakas who settled in western Afghanistan eventually reached an equilibrium with Parthia about 80 B.C. and issued a series of modified Parthian silver drachms during the rest of the first century B.C. Both Parthian-style drachms struck by these Sakas and drachms struck by the Parthians themselves in their eastern provinces are considered. Analysis of the Scythian advance then moves east to the plateau of southern Afghanistan, where the Sakas, displaced the Indo-Greeks. Vonones consolidated this eastern group of Sakas into a realm about 100 B.C. While the family of Vonones continued ruling Arachosia, an easter offshoot was created by the Maues in the plains of central Pakistan. During the course of his reign (ca. 90-57 B.C.), Maues made inroads into the Indo-Greek realm and eventually succeeded in establishing a new Scythian capital at Taxila. The volume ends with the Scythian establishment's extension from Herat, through Kandahar, to Taxila, and the creation of these various seperate states. [Author] | ||

| Abstract: 5,527 coins described. A massive reference that covers the coinage eastwards from Parthia through China, with much historical information. Parthia is covered on pages 105-123, and 150 of the coins are illustrated. Unfortunately, his chronology and attribution follows Sellwood's Introduction..., 1971, first edition. It also covers Sasanian coins well on pages 135-196, with almost 500 coins illustrated. Historical introductions and, where possible, dynastic lists, are presented. Legends are usually rendered in their original script, with transliterations or translations where necessary. There are tables illustrating the various scripts. Appendices on weights and values and a bibliography are included. See reviews: K. M.

| Oriento (Bulletin of the Society for Near Eastern Studies in Japan), 2002, no. 45, p. 26-55. | ||
| Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to clarify the functions of three types of generals who often appear in descriptions of historical events in the "Astronomical Diaries [A. J. Sachs/ H. Hunger [eds.], Astronomical Diaries and Related Texts from Babylonia, Vols.1-3, Wien, 1988-1996]" under Seleucid (305/4-141/0 B.C.) and early Arshakid (141/0-61/0 B.C.) rule: "the General (of Akkad)": LB lu2GAL u2-qu / u2-qa or lu2GAL ERIN2-ni / ERIN2mesh (kurURIki); "the General who is above the Four Generals": LB lu2GAL ERIN2mesh sha2 ana UGU 4 lu2GAL ERIN2mesh (with variants); and "the Chief of the Troops": LB lu2GAL.GAL u2-qa-a-nu / u2-qa-an. It is probable that each of these posts was occupied by only one person at any given time. The conclusions drawn in the paper may be summarised as follows: 1) The army commander in Seleucid and Ar?akid Babylonia was "the General (of Akkad)", at least until the first appearance of the title "the Chief of the Troops". The corresponding official title in Greek seems to be strategos. The post was below that of "the General above the Four Generals" which is probably to be equated with "the Satrap of the East"(probably corresponding, in turn, to the Gk. ho epi ton ano satrapeion) of the Seleucid kingdom. One variant of the title for the latter "the General of Akkad who is above the Four Governors", indicates that this official controlled a number of provinces, because the word "Governor (LB lu2mu-ma-?i-ir / lu2GAL UKKIN)" here no doubt corresponds to the Gk. satrapes, the "governor" of a province (e.g. Babylonia), whereby the "Four Generals / Governors" will be the "Generals / Governors" of the provinces in the Seleucid East. The variant "the General of Akkad who is above the Four Governors / Generals" probably shows that "the General above the Four Generals" sometimes doubled as "General (of Akkad)". 2) Under Arshakid rule, some Seleucid official posts ("General [of Akkad]", "General above the Four Generals", "Governor", etc.) were preserved, but the territory controlled by "the General above the Four Generals" was probably limited only to Babylonia. One variant of the title "(Who is) above the Four Generals of Akkad" appears in 141/0 and 133/2 B.C. (used on the latter occasion in the translation of royal correspondence!). We cannot, however, find any instances in the "Diaries" where there were more than two "generals" exercising their authority concurrently in Babylonia, so that "of Akkad" in the title seems to have been added only to indicate the location of the territory and the title most probably does not reflect the actual state of affairs. 3) Between 119/8 and 112/1 B.C., the post of "the Chief of the Troops" was established replacing that of "the Satrap of the East". The bearer of this office probably exercised both military and judicial power either over Babylonia or a number of provinces including Babylonia, since in 91/0 B.C. an official whose title (partly illegible on the tablet) can be reconstructed as "the Chief of the Troops" levied an army from "the other side of the Tigris" (probably meaning "the other side from Seleucia", i.e. Ctesiphon) and went to Kar-Assur, while the existence of judges subordinate to "the Chief of the Troops" is attested to in a record from 83/2 B.C.

| Abstract: Premiers résultats d’un survey organisé par l’Organisation du patrimoine culturel au sud de Shushtar, dans une zone que menace la réactivation d’un ancien canal d’irrigation dans cette région de grande agriculture. L’évolution du peuplement n’est pas entièrement semblable à celle de la plaine de Susiane voisine : ainsi, les époques néo-élamite et achéménide ne semblent pas marquer ici par un déclin mais au contraire par une augmentation du peuplement. En revanche, comme ailleurs dans le Khuzistan, les époques parthe, sassanide et islamique ancienne correspondent à une très forte occupation, en grande partie liée au développement du système d’irrigation par canaux de surface.
