ls22 - Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum 2, Ohrmazd I. - Ohrmazd II. ALRAM Michael, GYSELEN Rika

The new series Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum, Paris-Berlin-Wien, has as its aim the joint publication of the holdings of Sasanid coins preserved in the Cabinet des Médailles in Paris as well as the Münzkabinette in Berlin and Vienna. The three collections hold a total of ca. 11,000 of these coins, which will be published in 6 volumes.
The second volume of the series "Sylloge Nummorum Sasanidarum Paris-Berlin-Wien" covers the reigns of Ohrmazd I (271/2-273), Wahram I (273-276), Wahram II (276-293), Narseh (293-302/3) and Ohrmazd II (302/3-309/10), and thus closes the gap between volumes one and three, which have already been published. In addition to extensive numismatic commentaries (in French and German), a catalogue and illustrations, the volume contains a detailed numismatic historical introduction in English as well as chapters dealing with the beginning of the Kushano-Sasanian coin series (N. Schindel), the Paikuli inscription (C. Cereti, G. Terribili), and metal analyses of the various coin issues (Linke et al., M. Blet-Lemarquand). This volume will therefore be an indispensable handbook for numismatists, historians, art historians or archaeologists who are interested in Iranian history or Late Antiquity.
