    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XXXII, 1997 WOMEN’S ROBING IN THE SASANIAN ERA BY Bernard GOLDMAN This brief description is intended as an introduction to women’s dress in Sasanian times with comparanda that helps to place the Iranian styles within the general history of late antique dress in Western Asia. Unfortu- nately, the task is self-limiting, bringing to mind the platonic metaphor of dancing shadows on the cave wall. The habiliment of early Iranian women, like all other early Asian dress, has not survived except as a few bits and pieces of woven stuff1. Our knowledge, then, must derive from those shadowy costumes cast on a few rock reliefs, on some luxury table- ware, glyptics and coin types, and on less than a handful of painting and mosaic fragments. The fragility of this type of evidence accounts no doubt for the scant attention Sasanian costuming has received and, when it is remarked, too often the tendency is to accept these shadows as if they were the substance2. A further complication in any discussion results from the relatively small numbers of pictured women in the several art media, and most of these examples are not easily controlled as to date or place of origin. 1 For preserved Sasanian textiles, figural designs, patterns, Goldman 1993, n. 2; for textile patterns related to or derived from the Sasanian, von Falke 1951; Ierusalimskaia 1972, 11, 14. 2 Several factors pertain in discussing pictured dress and its usefulness in dating: a particular type of dress may assume a traditional role and be worn, copied, or portrayed long after it had dropped out of fashion; an outmoded style may enjoy a revival; official and religious portraits may be clothed in traditional forms that are not limited to any one period; a style may come into fashion later and persist longer in one region than in another; distinctive style details of different periods may overlap and equitably coexist for extended periods.

  • Disintegration of Sasanian Hegemony Over Northern Iran (Ad 623-643)1
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XLVI, 2011 doi: 10.2143/IA.46.0.2084424 DISINTEGRATION OF SASANIAN HEGEMONY OVER NORTHERN IRAN (AD 623-643)1 BY Mehrdad GHODRAT-DIZAJI (Urmia University, Iran) Abstract: From the 6th century AD onward, the Sasanian Empire tried to build up its military strength and defense system by dividing the country into four Kusts or quarters and erected fortifications and fortified walls in each Kust. One of these defensive walls was erected in the northern Kust in order to defend the borders of the empire against northern nomads. Perhaps the most important defensive walls of the empire in the northern quarter were in the passes of the northern Caucasus, especially at Darband. These fortifications were heavily damaged in the course of Sasanian-Byzantine wars (AD 603-628), which lead to the defeat of the Sasanian Empire. This was the advent of the disintegration of the Sasanian dynasty, which was later completed by Arab Muslim raids. The study of the archaeological, numismatic and literary evidence reveals that from this time (AD 623) onward, the Sasanians lost their control over the northern quarter and only practiced their weak domination over western and southern parts of the empire. The situation was like this until the downfall of the Sasanian dynasty through Arab Muslims and their penetration into Adurbadagan (AD 643). Keywords: Adurbadagan; defensive system; northern quarter; Sasanians. Introduction One of the most interesting topics in Sasanian studies, which has attracted the attention of scholars in the last two decades, is the historical and admin- istrative circumstances of Iranian provinces during the late Sasanian and early Islamic periods.

The Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER) provided the Independent with this photo of grading machinery on the land being leased by the Oak View Group for the construction of a new 10,000 seat arena. The Coachella Valley has been teased with the promise of a new, 10,000-seat arena since June 2019, when the Oak View Group announced it would be partnering with the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to build the sports and entertainment venue in downtown Palm Springs. However, the pandemic changed those plans. The partnership with Agua Caliente dissolved, and the Oak View Group announced last September that the arena would instead be built just north of the Palm Desert city line near the intersection of Cook Street and Varner Road, right next to the Interstate 10 freeway, on land owned by the H.N.
