Abstract:
The Sasanians were the last pre-Islamic Persian dynasty that ruled present-day Iran and its neighbouring extensive territories, succeeding the Parthians from 224 A.D to 651 A.D. It was the second-longest reigning Persian imperial dynasty, enduring over four centuries until the Muslims defeated the last Sasanian Emperor, Yazdegerd III. Six unpublished coins of this dynasty stored among the rich collections of nearly fifty-eight thousand manifold coins of the Bangladesh National Museum are matter of surprise and curiosity because Bengal was neither a part of their Empire nor ever ruled by them. These coins were discovered in Bengal in the early twentieth century. They have been identified recently, although they were unidentified for a long time following collection. Typically, coin from one region found in another conveys a trading identity. The early Arabs used Sasanian coins along with other coins as currency before introducing their purely Arabic coins in 696 A.D. They were traditionally traders and had commercial contacts with South and Southeast Asia since the seventh century. They might have used these unpublished coins in the seventh century as a means of exchange in Bengal because the region was well-heeled in ancient times and drew traders from all over the world. This article has unveiled these hitherto unpublished coins with their identification and conducted a comprehensive numismatic endeavour virtually to give insight into the inferential cause as well as the timeframe of their arrival in Bengal.

Abstract:
This article concerns the dating of the Caucasian Albanian palimpsest (Gospel of John) on the basis of a refined interpretation of the monetary term **zaizowzńa. In the first part of paper is offered and justified the etymology of the word **zaizowzńa, that derived from the Sasanian monetary term zūzā ‘dirham’. The Albanian umbrella term **zaizowzńa indicated a general concept of a ‘zuza-like (coin)’, which unified wide range of various imitations of Hormizd IV’s silver coins (or ZWZWN, as they named in Pahlavi on coins), struck in the end of the 6th century after defeating of Varhrān Čōbīn in 592 as payment to the Byzantine army, as well as typologically close to them pre-reform Islamic coins of the Sasanian type struck in the 7th – beginning of 8th centuries (so-called Arab-Sasanian coins). In the Caucasian Albanian Gospel of John the word **zaizowzńa was used to translate the Greek δηναρίων, but in the corresponding places of Armenian or Georgian translations were used another words — dahekan/drahkani, denar or satiri/statiri (etymology of these words also discussed and shown that they are not related to Sasanian zūzā). Thus, the use of a special term for Greek δηναρίων is not associated with the established translation tradition and unequivocally indicates its local, Caucasian Albanian origin. The period of time when **zaizowzńa coins were used in the Transcaucasia is outlined, and it is shown that the Sinai edition of the Albanian Gospel of John was completed between the beginning of the 6th century and the beginning of the 10th century.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper discusses two denominations of gold coins struck by the Sasanian kingof kings, Khusro II (590–628). They both have the same design. On the obverse is theprofile head of the king facing right, similar to that found on the silver but without themarginal stars and crescents. The legend on the left is the same as that on the drachmsbut there is a longer legend on the right so the whole legend reads: 'Khusro king of kingshas increased the royal glory‘. On the reverse there is a facing bust with the headsurrounded by flames, similar to that seen on some 'special‘ issue silver drachms. Therehave been a number of different identifications of this bust, the most plausible being thatit is the personification of xwarrah, the 'Royal Glory‘, a concept that was very importantto Khusro II. There is no mint on these gold coins but there is a date, regnal year 21(610/11), on the left. On the right the legend reads: 'he (= Khusro II) has increasedĒrān, he is well-omened‘.Gold coins were struck in small quantities by most Sasanian kings. It appears tohave been mostly a ceremonial coinage, with only Shapur II (309–79) and Peroz (459–84) striking larger amounts. Khusro II‘s gold coinage is relatively plentiful whencompared to that of other late Sasanian rulers. Khusro II‘s predecessor, Hormizd IV(579–90), struck no gold coins and only five coins of Khusro I (531–79) have beenrecorded. The usurper Vahran VI (590–1) is the sole other late Sasanian king whose goldcoins have survived in comparatively large numbers.The larger of Khusro‘s two denominations, the heavy (or 1½) dinar, is knownfrom three specimens, plus another which has been over-struck as an Ilkhanid dinar ofAbu Said (1316–35). The smaller denomination, the light (or 1) dinar, is more plentifulwith over 50 coins recorded. The year 21 gold coinage was struck using three obverse and three reverse dies, one pair of dies being used for both the heavy and light dinar coins. Two obverse and reverse dies were used together but the third pair has not yet been linked to them. As light dinars of Khusro II are regularly seem in commerce this picture may change.The gold coins have been listed and the source of each coin noted (Table 1). All the dies have been identified, and the available physical information, weight, diameter and die axis, has been added. The result shows that two pairs of dies were used to strike 42 out of the 53 light dinars and also the three heavy dinars. The other die pairings struck many fewer coins: one pair struck eight coins, one pair struck two coins and one pair struck one coin.A number of the coins are double struck on both obverse and reverse and one reverse die has a flaw across the neck and shoulder of xwarrah (reverse die 1). Die flaws and double striking are frequently seen on the drachm coinage and it is evident that the mint did not take especial care when producing the gold.The average weight of the light or 1 dinar coins is 4.56 grams (with a mean of 4.57 grams). The average of the four heavy dinars is about 6.73 grams but with so few coins one cannot arrive at any definitive result regarding the weight. The relationship between these two denominations is not clear (4.57g x 1½ = 6.855g). The diameters of the light dinars vary between 21.3 and 23.5 millimetres (from 16 specimens). The diameters of the heavy dinars are similar, as one would expect, varying between 22 and 22.7 millimetres. The exception is the over-struck coin which is larger.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper is a study on the so-called “spread wings”—a particular element of the Sasanian art that is attested also in other regions of the Persian Empire in Late Antiquity, including the western coast of the Persian Gulf and the Caucasus. The spread wings can be observed on Sasanian coins above the royal crowns, which are considered specific for every Sasanian sovereign, supporting astronomical elements, like the crescent, star, and, possibly, the sun. The Arabs and the peoples of the Caucasus who adopted Christianity used the spread wings element as a pedestal for the cross. In Armenian literature, there are some connections between those spread wings and glory, so that a kind of pedestal could be considered a device to exalt or glorify the element above it. The floating ribbons attached to Sasanian crowns had possibly the same meaning and were adopted also outside of proper Persia. In the same way, it could be considered correct to identify those luminaries on Sasanian crowns as divine elements connected with the religion of pre-Islamic Persia.

Abstract:
L’étude de la place et du statut des femmes dans l’Iran sassanide est fondée sur des données textuelles (cinq livres en pehlevie) et sur des matériaux archéologiques et iconographiques. L’objectif est la confrontation entre les deux séries de sources.Le volume I (texte, illustrations) en trois chapitres étudie les représentations des femmes puis traite du statut des femmes d’après les textes. Le troisième chapitre est la confrontation des deux séries de données. Le deuxième volume est le catalogue donnant d’une part la transcription et la traduction de textes d’époque sassanide et post-sassanide décrivant la situation des femmes dans la société, accompagnées de commentaires ; d’autre part des documents iconographiques: personnages féminins sur les bas-reliefs, sceaux et cachets, argenterie, mosaïques, monnaies, tissus, stucs, figurines et quelques autres objets.Au cours des quatre siècles sassanides, on constate une évolution relativement positive du statut de la femme d’après les textes, et en parallèle une augmentation des représentations féminines sur des documents officiels comme les sceaux, les meilleurs indicateurs de la place et du rôle des femmes dans la société de l’Iran sassanide
The study of the role and status of women in Sasanian Iran is based on the textual sources (five books in Pahlavi) and series of archaeological and iconographic objects. This dissertation aims at confronting these two series of data.Volume I (text and illustrations) including three chapters is a study of women representation on the iconographic objects and then deals with their status in the texts. In the third chapter these two categories will be confronted. Volume II contains the catalogues: on the one hand the transcription and translation of the texts surviving from Sasanian and Post-Sasanian periods, which describe women’s status in the society, enriched with some commentaries; on the other hand the catalogue of iconographic evidence depicting women, including rock-reliefs, seals and bullae, silverware, mosaics, coins, fabrics, stuccoes, figurines, textiles, and the other varied kinds of objects. Our investigations suggest a rather positive evolution of the women’s status during the four-century period of the Sasanian empire, according to the available texts. At the same time, one observes an increasing number of female representations on such official documents as the seals, which are the most precise evidence on the social situation and place of women in Sasanian Iran

Abstract:
This chapter aims to draw attention to the importance of coin iconography in the Parthian and Sasanian periods and to suggest an alternative approach to the conventional reading of the symbolism. The iconography of Iranian coins after the conquest of Alexander shows similarity with the iconography of Seleucid coins, and in both cases the king on the obverse enjoys divine support. The chapter suggests that the iconography of pre-Islamic Iranian coins must therefore be understood not as part of the Hellenistic tradition but should be seen within its Iranian/Zoroastrian context.

The findings reveal the use of Chinese and Chinese-style coins in the region; the use of Kushan, Byzantine, and Sasanian coins in particular locations at particular times; and the desire to create new local styles of coinage. The results also indicate that coins were not the only form of money.
