Book Synopsis Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum Tajikistan by : Andrea Gariboldi
Download or read book Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum Tajikistan written by Andrea Gariboldi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: This volume presents for the first time within the Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum (SNS) series a complete coin hoard. The latter was found in 2007 in the Piran-Shahr region in North-Western Iran, and ranks among the largest and most important hoards ever found on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Containing altogether 1267 drachms, it provides interesting insights not only into the monetary system of the Late Sasanian period, but also into its economic history, for which only very few sources exist. The publication of this hoard was made possible through the cooperation between the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Research Institute of ICHTO (Iran Cultural Heritage, Handcrafts and Tourism Organization). German description: The present catalogue is a witness of the cooperation established between the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Ravenna Campus of the University of Bologna. This study, in fact, finds its origins in the field activities developed by the Italian Mission in the Yaghnob Valley in Tajikistan, which included a significant number of activities, as the systematic recognition of the numismatic heritage preserved in Tajik State collections. The present volume provides a valuable addition to the publication series Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum Paris - Berlin - Vienna. The Tajik numismatic material is extremely important for the monetary history of Central Asia and the adjacent regions. Making these coin findings available for further research is a major step in order to reconstruct the Central Asian numismatic landscape in Sasanian times and beyond. This catalogue presents a total of 708 coins minted between the 5th and the 8th century CE, catalogued according to the same typological criteria as in the main series SNS Paris - Berlin - Vienna. Though the number of Sasanian coins is limited, the Iranian model greatly influenced numismatics in Central Asia considering the impressive quantity of coins imitating Sasanian prototypes and the period of time these imitations kept circulating up to the Islamic period. A particular attention has been dedicated to Bukharkhudat coins and their circulation in the Upper Zeravshan Valley. The picture is enriched by the important hoard of Corgul'tepa, discovered in 1977, which consists of 400 imitation drachms of Peroz. The hoard is now preserved in the State Hermitage Museum and has been fully published.
Book Synopsis Imperial Tragedy by : Michael Kulikowski
Download or read book Imperial Tragedy written by Michael Kulikowski and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, Rome was one of the world's largest imperial powers, its influence spread across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle-East, its military force successfully fighting off attacks by the Parthians, Germans, Persians and Goths. Then came the definitive split, the Vandal sack of Rome, and the crumbling of the West from Empire into kingdoms first nominally under Imperial rule and then, one by one, beyond it. Imperial Tragedy tells the story of Rome's gradual collapse. Full of palace intrigue, religious conflicts and military history, as well as details of the shifts in social, religious and political structures, Imperial Tragedy contests the idea that Rome fell due to external invasions. Instead, it focuses on how the choices and conditions of those living within the empire led to its fall. For it was not a single catastrophic moment that broke the Empire but a creeping process; by the time people understood that Rome had fallen, the west of the Empire had long since broken the Imperial yoke.

Book Synopsis Intangible Spirits and Graven Images: The Iconography of Deities in the Pre-Islamic Iranian World by : Michael Shenkar
Download or read book Intangible Spirits and Graven Images: The Iconography of Deities in the Pre-Islamic Iranian World written by Michael Shenkar and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the the Roman and Tania Ghirshman Prize 2015 by the French Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. This prize was established in 1973 by the donation made by Roman Ghirshman, one of the prominent French archaeologists of Pre-Islamic Iran. It is awarded annually for a publication in the field of Pre-Islamic Iranian Studies. In Intangible Spirits and Graven Images, Michael Shenkar investigates the perception of ancient Iranian deities and their representation in the Iranian cults. This ground-breaking study traces the evolution of the images of these deities, analyses the origin of their iconography, and evaluates their significance. Shenkar also explores the perception of anthropomorphism and aniconism in ancient Iranian religious imagery, with reference to the material evidence and the written sources, and reassesses the value of the Avestan and Middle Persian texts that are traditionally employed to illuminate Iranian religious imagery. In doing so, this book provides important new insights into the religion and culture of ancient Iran prior to the Islamic conquest.

Book Synopsis Iron Age and Roman Coin Hoards in Britain by : Roger Bland

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More coin hoards have been recorded from Roman Britain than from any other province of the Empire. This comprehensive and lavishly illustrated volume provides a survey of over 3260 hoards of Iron Age and Roman coins found in England and Wales with a detailed analysis and discussion. Theories of hoarding and deposition and examined, national and regional patterns in the landscape settings of coin hoards presented, together with an analysis of those hoards whose findspots were surveyed and of those hoards found in archaeological excavations. It also includes an unprecedented examination of the containers in which coin hoards were buried and the objects found with them. The patterns of hoarding in Britain from the late 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD are discussed. The volume also provides a survey of Britain in the 3rd century AD, as a peak of over 700 hoards are known from the period from AD 253296. This has been a particular focus of the project which has been a collaborative research venture between the University of Leicester and the British Museum funded by the AHRC. The aim has been to understand the reasons behind the burial and non-recovery of these finds. A comprehensive online database (https://finds.org.uk/database) underpins the project, which also undertook a comprehensive GIS analysis of all the hoards and field surveys of a sample of them.
