Hardcover. Condition: VG/VG. Black cloth boards with gilt stamped lettering. Glossy black and photographic dust jacket with beige and white lettering. 352 pp.334 illustrations, 214 in full color. Stunning works in precious metals, glass, and stone--many recently excavated and virtually unknown outside China--shed new light on a pivotal epoch in Chinese history. From the 4th through 7th century, monks and merchants freely traveled along the fabled Silk Road, linking China with the west, propagating Buddhism, and purveying exotic goods and artifacts that fundamentally transformed Chinese culture and society. This sumptuous volume, the first to explore the magnificent treasures and sites of China's northwest section of the Silk Road, accompanies an exhibition at the Asia Society in New York. The text by an international team of scholars illuminates the importance of the region in this period of fertile cross-cultural exchanges between Eastern and Western Asia. -Jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 2016. x, 132pp. B&W illustrations. "Although much of the primary information about the Parthian period comes from coins, there has been much new research undertaken over the past few decades into wider aspects of both the Parthian and Sassanian Empires including the Arsacid Parthians, and their material culture. Despite a change of ruling dynasty, the two empires were closely connected and cannot be regarded as totally separate entities. The continuation of Parthian influence particularly into the early Sasanian period cannot be disputed. An historic lack of detailed information arose partly through the relative lack of excavated archaeological sites dating to the Parthian period in Iran and western scholars lack of knowledge of recent excavations and their results that are usually published in Persian, coupled with the inevitable difficulties for academic research engendered by the recent political situation in the region. Although an attempt has been made by several scholars in the west to place this important Iranian dynasty in its proper cultural context, the traditional GrecoRoman influenced approach is still prevalent. The present volume presents 15 papers covering various aspects of Parthian and early Sasanian history, material culture, linguistics and religion which demonstrate a rich surviving heritage and provide many new insights into ideology, royal genealogy, social organization, military tactics, linguistic developments and trading contacts." Small scrape to rear cover, otherwise in excellent condition with no inscriptions.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Im Laufe der letzten 120 Jahre wurden im Boden der antiken Stadt Lauriacum, an der Mundung der Enns in die Donau gelegen, knapp 32.000 antike Munzen gefunden, die uberwiegend im Museum Lauriacum der Stadt Enns verwahrt werden. Schon aufgrund der Menge, und noch mehr aufgrund der uberragenden Bedeutung Lauriacums fur das romische Osterreich, zahlen die Fundmunzen dieses Ortes zu den wichtigsten antiken Kulturgutern unseres Landes. Fur die Geschichte Lauriacums als Militarstandort, Knotenpunkt mehrerer uberregionaler Verkehrsachsen sowie Verwaltungs- und Bischofssitz der Spatantike stellen sie eine der bedeutendsten Primarquellen dar und geben einen einzigartigen Einblick in den antiken Geldverkehr am Donaulimes. In seinem historisch-archaologischen Uberblick zeichnet Reinhardt Harreither die Geschichte Lauriacums von den Anfangen der Siedlung um die Mitte des 1. Jahrhunderts, uber die Stationierung der "legio II Italica" um 190 n. Chr., bis in die Spatantike und ins fruhe Mittelalter. Das Herzstuck des Bandes bildet die numismatische Auswertung von Klaus Vondrovec, in der alle Aspekte des Lauriacenser Geldumlaufs systematisch erfasst, analysiert und in Beziehung zu anderen Fundplatzen gesetzt werden. Die Fundmunzen der Grabungen in der antiken Zivilstadt aus den Jahre 1951-1959 werden von Anna Lornitzo einer gesonderten Auswertung unterzogen. Die keltischen Geprage, die Munzen der romischen Republik sowie eine Auswahl an numismatischen Besonderheiten sind von Bernhard Woytek kommentiert. Den Abschluss bildet Nikolaus Schindels Kommentar zu den byzantinischen Gepragen. Der digitale Katalog ist unter 1553/Digitaler_Katalog abrufbar.
