E. Shavarebi & I. Strauch, "The Mosque of the Forgotten City: The Bilingual Inscription of Zalamkot Revisited", East and West 62 (n.s. 3/2), 2022, pp. 195-210.
Abstract: The present article deals with a bilingual Persian-Sanskrit inscription reportedly found at Zalamkot (Lower Swat Valley, north-western Pakistan), which appears to be the oldest known dated monumental inscription in the New Persian language. Based on a new reading and interpretation of the Persian text, it is argued that the inscription belongs to one of the oldest mosques build by the Ghaznavids in the Indian Subcontinent. The inscription dates the completion of the mosque to 401 AH (1011 CE), i.e., ten years after the first Indian campaign of Sulṭan Mahmud of Ghazna. The inscription contains a hitherto unknown Indian toponym, reconstructed as *Jayapālanagara, where the mosque was located, and gives a date in the Sanskrit text using an otherwise unknown era.

Abstract: This note is a preliminary study of a hoard of 174 silver drachms of the late Sasanian king Khosrow II (r. 590/1-628 CE), recently acquired by the coin cabinet of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. 173 pieces in the hoard are issued at the mint of Bishapur (BYŠ) in Khosrow's thirteenth regnal year. The volume of die-links in this hoards produces a unique material basis for a quantitative study of coin production at a mint in late Sasanian Iran.

Summary: After defeating Ardawān IV in the battle of Hormozdgān in 224 AD, Ardashīr I, the founder of the Sasanian Empire, conducted a campaign to Mesopotamia, where he struggled with the kingdom of Hatra and the last Arsacid resistance in Ctesiphon. After conquering Ctesiphon in 226/7, he was officially crowned as the King of Kings of Iranians. A rather fictional narrative of Ardashīr’s western campaign has reached a number of early Islamic chroniclers like Ṭabarī through Ibn al-Kalbī, which has usually been neglected by modern scholars. In the present article, this account will be scrutinised to excavate its historical substrata.

Abstract: Bei den sowjetischen archäologischen Ausgrabungen von Marw kamen zum ersten Mal etliche Bronzemünzen des sasanidischen Königs Pērōz (457–484) zum Vorschein, auf deren Rückseite die Münzstättensigle AMW belegt ist. S. D. Loginov und A. B. Nikitin identifizierten diese Sigle mit der Provinzhauptstadt Āmol in Tabaristān. Die erste sichere Münzen vom Münzamt Āmol in Tabaristān sind jedoch während der ersten Regierung des Kawād I. (488–496) mit der Signatur AM geprägt. Laut historischen Quellen war Tabaristān seit dem Anfang der Sasanidenzeit bis zum Ende der Regierung des Pērōz ein fast unabhängiges Fürstentum unter der lokalen Herrscherfamilie der Gušnaspiden, die von Kawād gestürzt wurde. Die unter Pērōz mit der Münzstättensignatur AMW geprägte Bronzemünzen sind eigentlich bisher nur in Marw gefunden und daher kann man diese Münzstätte nicht in Tabaristān, sondern in einem gleichnamigen Ort in Zentralasien, östlich von Marw, lokalisieren. Aber warum prägte Pērōz Bronzemünzen in diesem Ort und wieso hatte diese Münzstätte nach der Regierung des Pērōz keine Aktivität mehr?

Abstract: The present article deals with the Persian personal name Suhrāb/Surxāb, its etymology, and its various forms recorded in the extant documents in Old, Middle, and New Iranian languages as well as in the Nebenüberlieferungen. Special emphasis is put on the attestation of the name Swrx’p in a recently found Sogdian fragment from Turfan and the name Suxrāb in the Middle Persian inscription of a Sasanian seal. Also, relevant evidence from late antique Syriac and Armenian sources and early mediaeval Persian and Arabic texts are collected and analysed in order to show the transformations of this name and its hypocoristic forms in different regions and times.

Abstract: This essay deals with the location of the Achaemenid and Sasanian temples of Anāhīd at Estakhr, the capital of Persis/Fārs province in southern Iran. Relevant texts from Achaemenid and Sasanian epigraphic sources, classical literature, and Islamic historical and geographical writings are interpreted, followed by a survey of the archaeological sites at Estakhr and its environs, which have been suggested by other scholars to be in connection with the temples of Anāhīd. In this survey, I will criticise a new speculative hypothesis on the location of the temples and argue where in fact these temples were located.

Abstract: In his eastern campaign, Ardashīr I (r. 224–241 AD), the founder of the Sasanian Empire, defeated the Indo-Parthian kingdom and conquered the land of Sakastān. The metallurgical analyses corroborate the possibility that the copper issues of Ardashīr’s coin-type VIII, showing a beardless bust before Ardashīr’s figure on the obverse, were minted in Sakastān after the conquest of the Indo-Parthians by the Sasanians. There are, however, historiographical literature and iconographic evidence leading to an identification of the hitherto unknown beardless bust as Ardashīr’s grand vizier Abarsām – and not a local ruler. This article aims to examine the political and monetary history of Sakastān during the late Parthian and early Sasanian periods to assess the provenance of these coins as well as the possible connection of Abarsām to Sakastān.

The beginning of studies on Sasanian numismatics goes back to the 18th century. Since then Sasanian numismatics has experienced different periods and schools and remarkably advanced by new approaches and methods. Today, many questions of Sasanian history and archaeology find numismatic answers. The present paper is arranged in three general parts, which, respectively, provide an introduction to the history of Sasanian numismatics from the 18th century up to now, major collections of Sasanian coins in the world, and new methodological bases and approaches of modern studies on Sasanian numismatics.

Abstract: This essay presents a bibliographical outline of the contribution of Saint Petersburger scholars to the study of Sasanian numismatics, from the mid-19th century up to today. The “Saint Petersburg School” of Sasanian numismatics seems to have passed two substantial periods during the past two centuries: a period of “collector-cataloguer collaboration” in the 19th century and a period of “historical-archaeological numismatics” during the Soviet and post-Soviet time. In the following, the characteristic and highlights of the “Saint Petersburg School” are surveyed and the representatives of each period are briefly introduced.

E. Shavarebi, "Roman ‘Soldatenkaiser’ on the Triumphal Rock Reliefs of Shāpūr I – A Reassessment", Historia i Świat, Vol. 4, 2015, pp. 47-63.
Abstract: Five rock reliefs surviving in Persis/Fārs province in southern Iran represent the victories of Shāpūr I (241–272 AD), the second Sasanian King of Kings (Šāhānšāh), over the Roman Empire. The three Roman Emperors depicted on these reliefs have traditionally been identified as Gordian III (238–244), Philip I – known as ‘the Arab’ – (244–249) and Valerian I (253–260). From the 1960s onward, new interpretations are presented. In the most recent of these, Uranius Antoninus (253/254) is recognised on three of Shāpūr’s triumphal reliefs. The present paper aims to re-examine these new hypotheses by considering numismatic materials, including a unique gold coin of Shāpūr which bears an image of the same topic accompanying a legend on its reverse.

Zusammenfassung: Das Malek-Museum in Teheran besitzt eine reichhaltige Sammlung der Münzun aus fast allen iranischen Epochen von der Achämenidenzeit bis heute. In dieser numismatischen Sammlung gibt es ungefähr 120 sasanidische Münzen der verschiedenen Könige, die bisher niemals untersucht wurden. Ab Herbst 2013 bereitet der Autor einen analytischen Katalog für die sasanidischen Münzen dieser Sammlung vor, dessen Entwurf bis Ende des Frühjahrs 2014 abgeschlossen sein wird. Die methodologische Grundlage zur Gliederung der Münzen des fast dreihundertjährigen Zeitraums von Ardashir I. bis zum Ende der zweiten Regierung Kawads I. bildet die zeitgemäße Kategorisierung der bislang publizierten Bände der Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum. Die Münzen anderer Könige wurden den Kategorisierungen von Robert Göbl in Sasanidische Numismatik (Braunschweig, 1968) zufolge katalogisiert. Als eine kleine Sammlung ist die Vielfalt der sasanidischen Münzen des Malek-Museums bemerkenswert. Trotzdem zeigen die ikonographischen und epigraphischen Studien uns, dass einige Münzen dieser Sammlung, die meist aus Gold sind, sich um moderne Fälschungen handeln.

Abstract: Five surviving rock reliefs are known in Iran from the reign of Ardashīr I, four of which are located in Persis/Fārs region. This paper aims to examine four different approaches which are so far used to date these reliefs, i.e. historical facts, iconographical and numismatic elements, and techniques of stoneworking, in order to respond the following question: How can we date the rock reliefs of Ardashīr more precisely and obtain a convincing chronology of them?

One of the peculiar features of Sogdian pictorial art (wall paintings, ossuaries, sculptures, etc.) is depiction of personages and scenes inspired by ancient Indo-Iranian mythical and epic motifs as well as illustration of banquet and battle scenes. Although many aspects of these scenes have been exhaustively scrutinised by scholars in the past decades, yet no sufficient study has been done on the gestures made by characters of these scenes, their origins, and their meanings in the Sogdian culture. Among these gestures are different finger gestures and arm-folding gesture (dastkaš). On the one hand, similar gestures can be found in Sasanian and Bactrian iconography (e.g. rock reliefs, coins, silverware, and paintings), which might have shared the same usages and meanings with the Sogdian ones. On the other hand, however, some Sogdian finger gestures are comparable to certain Buddhist mudras, which may show the influence of Buddhist culture in Sogdiana.
The aim of this paper is to collect and categorise the divergent hand gestures appearing in Sogdian iconography, and to identify their origins in a comparative study with the gestures attested in the iconographic evidence from neighbouring cultures. Also, the hitherto proposed interpretations of these gestures and their significance will be revisited in the light of the scarce, but remarkably informative evidence of certain literary sources, which have often been neglected in modern archaeological and art historical scholarship.

Персидский словарь Сорме-йе Солеймани – труд Таги ад-Дина Мухаммада Аухади Балйани (1565–1640/1(?) гг.), персидского поэта и автора известного Арафат аль-Ашегин. Словарь содержит 5850 записей, отсортированных в алфавитном порядке по их начальным и последним буквам. В каждой словарной статье даётся только определение или синоним и, в отличие от традиции средневековой персидской лексикографии, отсутствуют поэтические примеры.
Рукопись Восточного факультета СПбГУ (Ms. O 174) – единственная доступная полная рукопись этого словаря. В отличие от двух других известных нам сохранившихся рукописей (Центральной библиотеки Тегеранского университета (Ms. 122) и библиотеки Малека (Ms. 404)), петербургская рукопись содержит пролог и эпилог словаря. Вероятно, для переписчика петербургской рукописи персидский язык не был родным, и он не владел им в полной мере. Поэтому весь текст, к сожалению, полон различных ошибок, прежде всего орфографических. Согласно колофону, рукопись была переписана 24 джумада аль-уля 1061 г. (= 15 мая 1651 г.), вероятно, в городе Мултан в Пенджабе.
Пролог – не что иное, как доксологический отрывок и не содержит информации об авторе и содержании произведения. В эпилоге, однако, содержится некоторая информация о структуре словаря и приводится причина, по которой статьи не сопровождаются поэтическими примерами. Текст заканчивается десятью стихотворными персидскими строками самого автора. В последнем стихе дата составления словаря упоминается в виде хронограммы, которую можно интерпретировать как 1011 г. (= 1602/3 г.). Эта дата совпадает со временем пребывания Аухади в Исфахане между 1009 и 1015 гг. (= 1600/1–1606/7 гг.).

Вероятно, для переписчика петербургской рукописи персидский язык не был родным, и он не владел им в полной мере. Поэтому весь текст, к сожалению, полон различных ошибок, прежде всего орфографических. Согласно колофону, рукопись была переписана 24 джумада аль-уля 1061 г. (= 15 мая 1651 г.), вероятно, в городе Мултан в Пенджабе.
Пролог – не что иное, как доксологический отрывок и не содержит информации об авторе и содержании произведения. В эпилоге, однако, содержится некоторая информация о структуре словаря и приводится причина, по которой статьи не сопровождаются поэтическими примерами. Текст заканчивается десятью стихотворными персидскими строками самого автора. В последнем стихе дата составления словаря упоминается в виде хронограммы, которую можно интерпретировать как 1011 г. (= 1602/3 г.). Эта дата совпадает со временем пребывания Аухади в Исфахане между 1009 и 1015 гг. (= 1600/1–1606/7 гг.).

در تابستان سال 2016، پایگاه باستانشناسی فاناگوریا در جنوب روسیه از کشف قطعهای از یک کتیبۀ هخامنشی خبر داد. اثرِ موردِ بحث قطعهای از یک سنگ تراشخوردۀ مرمرین است که بر روی آن بخشی از یک متن به خط میخیِ پارسی باستان باقی مانده است. طبق تخمین کاوشگران، نوشتۀ بازمانده بر روی این سنگ تنها بخش کوچکی از یک متن سلطنتی هخامنشی است. از آنجا که بخشی از نام داریوش در این تکۀ بازمانده قابل تشخیص است، میتوان تاریخ حجاری این کتیبه را به دورۀ فرمانروایی داریوش یکم هخامنشی منتسب کرد. اکنون پرسش این است که چگونه کتیبهای هخامنشی از این نقطه سربرآورده است؟ آیا لشکر داریوش هرگز به این سرزمین پای گذاشته است؟ در این نشست، نخست به متن این سنگنبشته خواهیم پرداخت و سپس دربارۀ محل کشف آن بحث خواهیم کرد.
