Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art
Rienjang and Stewart (eds) Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art Edited by Wannaporn Rienjang Peter Stewart Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art Since the beginning of Gandhāran studies in the nineteenth century, chronology has been one of the most significant challenges to the understanding of Gandhāran art. Many other ancient societies, including those of Greece and Rome, have left a wealth of textual sources which have put their fundamental chronological frameworks beyond doubt. In the absence of such sources on a similar scale, even the historical eras cited on inscribed Gandhāran works of art have been hard to place. Few sculptures have such inscriptions and the majority lack any record of find-spot or even general provenance. Those known to have been found at particular sites were sometimes moved and reused in antiquity. Consequently, the provisional dates assigned to extant Gandhāran sculptures have sometimes differed by centuries, while the narrative of artistic development remains doubtful and inconsistent. Building upon the most recent, cross-disciplinary research, debate and excavation, this volume reinforces a new consensus about the chronology of Gandhāra, bringing the history of Gandhāran art into sharper focus than ever. By considering this tradition in its wider context, alongside contemporary Indian art and subsequent developments in Central Asia, the authors also open up fresh questions and problems which a new phase of research will need to address. Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art is the first publication of the Gandhāra Connections project at the University of Oxford’s Classical Art Research Centre, which has been supported by the Bagri Foundation and the Neil Kreitman Foundation. -

Language and Legend in Early Kushan Coinage: Progression and Transformation Razieh Taasob Princeton University
2018, No. 5 © Samuel Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture, University of California, Irvine ISSN: 2470 - 4040 Language and Legend in Early Kushan Coinage: Progression and Transformation Razieh Taasob Princeton University 71 Introdu' ion: arly Kushan coinage displays its aff iliation and syncretism with former coin pra9 ices not only in the Erepresentation of royal and religious imagery, but also in the language, legends and the execution of inscriptions. The Kushans continued the traditional Greek pra9 ices that had already been adopted by the Greco-Ba9 rians, specifically the use of the Greek language on their coinage as seen frequently in Ba9 ria. In conformity with other former traditions, the Kushans also maintained the Indo-Greek prac- tices employed south of the Hindu Kush by using bilingual inscriptions on their coinage. The languages used south of the Hindu Kush were predominantly Greek for the obverse type and PrakritH (wriJ en in Brahmi and Kharoshthi script) for the reverse. The Indo-Greeks introduced the use of the Kharoshthi script for coinage, and it was subsequently applied by the Indo-Scythians and Indo-Parthians in their respe9 ive regions. This script was used in the area of the Indus, Swat, and Kabul valleys and in a wide area of northern India and the surrounding regions. Evidence of this can be seen on the coinage of the H- “The language of Indic inscription”. The Prakrit or middle Indo-Aryan (MIA) language was the only inscriptional language from the third to firQ century BC, which endured as a common language for coinage for more than two centuries. -

THE QUINTESSENCE OF THE MĀDHYAMIKA TEACHING BLOSSOMS AGAIN SOME CONSIDERATIONS IN VIEW OF THE 5th-7th C. A.D. (I) Reading the Alkhan’s document (Schøyen MSS 2241) in religious and political context1 CRISTINA SCHERRER-SCHAUB Paris & Lausanne Résumé Le document Schøyen (MSS 2241, publié par Gudrun Melzer en 2006, offre un bel exemple de la dynamique qui s’instaure entre les principes doctrinaires et religieux et leur reflet dans le discours politique. L’examen du contexte dans lequel s’inscrit cet acte de fondation d’un monument bouddhique, situé vraisemblablement dans les régions actuelles du Nord du Pakistan, met en lumière la complexité du réseau de communication mis en place par l’institution bouddhique sur l’aire très vaste sillonnée, notamment par les Kidarites et les Alkhans au cours du 5e s. de notre ère. Rédigé dans un milieu de fins lettrés, sans doute héritiers de l’école cachemirienne du Deutero Nāgārjuna et de son traducteur le Sérindien Kumārajīva, le document montre l’habilité de son auteur, scoliaste Mādhyamika, qui excelle à composer un texte où les motifs littéraires, religieux et politiques s’adressent à la fois à une société non nécessairement bouddhique (ou si peu) et à ses dirigeants, pour les convaincre de l’autorité du Dharma enseigné par le Buddha. S’il contribue à l’histoire complexe des Alkhans, cet acte de fondation atteste un chapitre inédit de l’histoire du bouddhisme indien et de l’école Madhyamaka en particulier et de son rôle en tant que médiateur dans les affaires du monde. Abstract The Schøyen document (MSS 2241) published by Gudrun Melzer in 2006, famous for having shed new light on the debated Alkhan’s chronology, invites the reader to question a precise chapter of the religious and political history of Buddhism in the north-western regions. -
Vologases I, Pakoros Ii and Artabanos Iii: Coins and Parthian History1
IranicaAntiqua, vol. LI, 2016 doi: 10.2143/IA.51.0.3117835 VOLOGASES I, PAKOROS II AND ARTABANOS III: COINS AND PARTHIAN HISTORY1 BY Marek Jan OLBRYCHT (University of Rzeszów) Abstract: This article focuses on certain aspects of Parthian coinage under Vologases I (51-79) and Pakoros II (78-110). Most studies convey a picture of extreme political confusion in Parthia at the close of Vologases I’s reign to that of the beginning of Pakoros II’s. They also tend to clump together Vologases I, “Vologases II”, Artabanos III, and Pakoros II as though they were all rival kings, each striving to usurp the throne. Changes in the minting practice of the Arsacids were strictly connected with political transformations that were occurring in Parthia at that time. Any attribution of coin types along with an analysis of the nature of monetary issues depends on an accurate reconstruction of the political developments that effected them. Keywords: Arsacids, Parthian coinage, Vologases I, Pakoros I, Artabanos III This article focuses on certain aspects of Parthian coinage under Vologases I (51-79) and Pakoros II (78-110). Changes in the minting prac- tice of the Arsacids were strictly connected with political transformations that were occurring in Parthia at that time. Any attribution of coin types along with an analysis of the nature of monetary issues (including new royal titles, kings’ names or insignia) depends on an accurate reconstruc- tion of the political developments that effected them, an area subject to impassioned controversy and prone to shaky conclusions. One of the chief aprioristic assumptions some specialists tend to adopt is the belief that any temporal overlap of monetary issues is a sure indication of internal strife in Parthia. -

MOVEMENT FOR MODERNISM AND PROGRESS .................................. 128 FOREWORD This issue of the Iqbal Review is dedicated to a great and happy occasion, the Coronation on the 26th of October 1967 of Their Imperial Majesties Mohammad Raza Pahlavi Shahanshah Arya Mehr and the Empress Farah Pahlavi of Iran. It is an occasion for rejoicing for all of us. The Shahanshah not only represents modern Iran and the remark-able progress it has made under his inspiring leadership ; he also stands as a living symbol of the common cultural heritage of Pakistan and Iran. The modernisation of Iran began in real earnest with the Shahan-shah's father, Raza Shah Pahlavi. It was, however, the Shahanshah himself who led his country through The White Revolution. This comprised a series of measures introduced by the Shahanshah with the object of placing the economy of the country on a broader and more stable basis and accelerating the pace of education among the people. -

Ein Schatzfund Hephthalitischer Drachmen Aus Baktrien Ein Schatzfund Hephthalitischer Drachmen Aus Baktrien*
1 Michael Alram EIN SCHATZFUND HEPHTHALITISCHER DRACHMEN AUS BAKTRIEN EIN SCHATZFUND HEPHTHALITISCHER DRACHMEN AUS BAKTRIEN* Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Studie ist ein kleiner Schatzfund von 30 Drachmen die ein Sammler um 1990 bei einem afghanischen Händler in Deutschland erworben hatte. Nach Auskunft des Händlers sollen die Münzen aus einem Schatzfund stammen, der angeblich in Baktrien (Nordafghanistan) gefunden worden war. Die Zusammensetzung des vorliegenden Ensembles, wie auch die Patina der einzelnen Stücke lassen die Herkunft aus einem Schatzfund als durchaus wahrscheinlich erscheinen. Ein Stück ist eine originale Drachme des Sasanidenkönigs Peroz (457–484), während die 29 restlichen Exemplare als Imitationen nach dem Vorbild des Peroz anzusprechen sind, die von Göbl 1967 den eigentlichen Hephthaliten zugeschrieben wurden 1.
