| Abstract: Les Parthes, peuple iranien d’origine nomade qui domina la Mésopotamie et l’Iran du milieu du second siècle av. J.-C. jusqu’en 225 ap. J.-C., furent les grands rivaux des Romains: ceux-ci tentèrent à plusieurs reprises de les envahir et de se substituer à eux en Orient, sans jamais y parvenir. Ce livre analyse l’abondante production de textes et d’images évoquant les Parthes qui, dans tout le monde gréco-romain et jusqu’à la fin du Haut-Empire, accompagna la politique romaine, afin de répondre à deux questions principales : dans quelle mesure l’image des Parthes permet-elle de mieux comprendre les buts poursuivis par les Romains au-delà de l’Euphrate, et quelle somme de connaissances Grecs et Romains amassèrent-ils à propos de ce peuple qui leur évoquait à la fois les Scythes et les Perses, déjà décrits de longue date par les Grecs ?

| Decline and Fall of the Sasanian Empire: The Sasanian-Parthian Confederacy and the Arab Conquest of Iran (2008) | ||
| London: I.B. Tauris, 2008 | ||
| Abstract: Decline and Fall of the Sasanian Empire has already been praised as one of the most intellectually exciting books about ancient Persia to have been published for years. It proposes a convincing contemporary answer answer to an ages-old mystery and conundrum: why, in the seventh century CE, did the seemingly powerful and secure Sasanian empire of Persia succumb so quickly and disastrously to the all-conquering Arab armies of Islam? Offering an impressive appraisal of the Sasanians' nemesis at the hands of the Arab forces which scythed all before them, the author suggests a bold solution to the enigma. On the face of it, the collapse of the Sasanians--given their strength and imperial power in the earlier part of the century--looks startling and inexplicable. But Professor Pourshariati explains their fall in terms of an earlier corrosion and decline, and as a result of their own internal weaknesses. The decentralized dynastic system of the Sasanian empire, whose backbone was a Sasanian-Parthian alliance, contained the seeds of its own destruction. This confederacy soon became unstable, and its degeneration sealed the fate of a doomed dynasty. [Publisher] | ||

Au cours des siècles, elle passa sous la domination partielle ou totale de l'un ou de l'autre. De très nombreux sites archéologiques, des tombes, ont livré des monnaies parthes d'argent ou de bronze. Le musée d'État de Géorgie conserve une très vaste collection de ces monnaies trouvées soit isolément soit en même temps que des monnaies romaines.

| Lancaster, PA: Classical Numismatic Group, 2007, 167 p. | ||
| Abstract:
Includes in-text illustrations, charts, and tables. $75 (GR320) "The first comprehensive catalog of the Elymaean series since the J. de Morgan’s 1930 publication by, this book draws upon the extensive amount of evidence that has surfaced since then and synthesizes the wealth of recent scholarship on this important, yet little-known kingdom that flourished in the region comprising southern Iraq and western Iran from the late 2nd century BC to the early 3rd century AD. Divided into two parts, the first gives an overview of the history of Elymais and its coinage. A brief introduction describes the geographic, geopolitical, and cultural background of the region, and sets the stage for the following discussion of the three dynasties that ruled that kingdom. Using de Morgan as a point of departure, the author meticulously analyzes the various, and often conflicting, studies on Elymaean coinage that have been written over the last half-century, and draws conclusions based on the most recent evidence. As the kingdom's history and coinage are closely tied to its Seleucid and Parthian neighbors, the author has particularly benefited from the recent scholarship on these empires by D. Sellwood, G.R.F. Assar, A. Houghton, and C. Lorber. The first part concludes with a technical description of the coinage system, detailing its mints, iconographic types, and metrology. "The catalogue of coins comprises the second part and traces the coinage of the three Elymaean dynasties: the Early Kamnaskirids, the Later Kamnaskirids, and the Arsacids. Each ruler's coinage is presented by general type, followed their respective subtypes, all of which are accompanied by illustrations for ease-of-use. As much of the later coinage is found in relatively poor condition, often numerous illustrations of each subtype are included, sometimes supplemented by the author’s own meticulous line drawings. "A particular strength of the book is the features that were included to assist researchers and collectors. One such aid is the "Easy Finder" at the end of Part One, which provides a schematic chart for quick identification of a coin's general type. In addition, Appendix 1 provides a concordance chart for each type to the previous standard works that are often used in earlier studies and catalogs, while Appendix 2 provides the sources for all of the illustrations in the catalog, including each coin's weight, die axis, and size, as well as any relevant die links. Finally, a bibliography of the works cited lists the relevant historical and numismatic works that form the basis of the study. "This well-researched book will be the new standard reference for the coinage of Elymais, and will prove beneficial not only to numismatists and collectors, but those interested in the history of this fascinating kingdom."

| Abstract: "La culture de l'Empire parthe, qui succéda à la culture séleucide et s'étendit de la Parthie originelle – en Asie centrale – vers l'Iran et la Mésopotamie, représente une phase cruciale de grande effervescence culturelle et de renouvellement artistique dans l'histoire du Proche et du Moyen-Orient. Cependant, les données en notre possession permettant son évaluation historique précise sont peu abondantes." [Author] | ||

| Abstract: "Situées dans une position géographique semblable au coeur d’une steppe semi-désertique, en marge de deux grands empires (les Romains et les Parthes), Palmyre et Hatra ont souvent été comparées. Pourtant, au-delà des nombreuses ressemblances (même période de prospérité, usage de la langue araméenne, présence de nomades « arabes ») peu de documents attestent explicitement de liens directs. C’est seulement à Doura-Europos, sur l’Euphrate, quasiment à mi-chemin entre les deux villes, qu’existent des traces de ces relations." [Author] | ||
