Ali Mousavi 1 The border region between Fars and Khuzestan is one of the richest archaeological areas in Iran, where traces of both the Elamite and Achaemenid periods can be explored. The region is also known for having revealed exceptional remains of the so-called Persian Royal Road connecting the heartland of the Achaemenians to their capital Susa. Despite previous explorations in the region, this article is the fruit of the first archaeological fieldwork on the Royal Road between Nurabad and Behbahan, and includes some chance discoveries. Some thirteen road stations have been recognized during three seasons of surveys and excavations at Borazjan, starting at Tol-e Kakh Khodadad, south of Nurabad, to Arrajan in Khuzestan. For the author, remains of these stations consist mostly of decorated and undecorated column bases and fragmentary slabs, of which a few have been found at the village of Deh-Now to the north of Nurabad. These finds show that with further work in the region, coupled with the evidence provided by Achaemenid texts and medieval geographers such as Ibn Balkhi, one should expect to have a better Abstracta Iranica, Volume 30 | 2010 « Čand manzelgāh-e rāh-e šāhī-ye haḫāmanešī : az Nūrābād-e Mamasanī tā Arjān-... 2 understanding of the connecting network of roads that once connected Achaemenid centers in Iran. The presence of these column bases speaks more for Royal or élite buildings than for stations. Moreover it is not certain that all of them belong to Achaemenid constructions and.

  • Madaktu and Badace
    MADAKTU AND BADACE D. T. Potts University of Sydney 1. INTRODUCTION In a recent study devoted to a strategic analysis of Assurbanipal's eighth campaign, J.M. C6doba sounded a justifiable note of caution regarding the identification of ~adaktu'. One of the principal cities of Elam and a royal "Residenzstadt", Madaktu was the subject of a general study in 1986 by Pierre de ~iroschedji~.Recent scholarship suggests, however, that his identification of Madaktu with Tepe Patak has not received general acceptance by ~ssyriologists~.Nor has the collateral problem of identifying Badace, a toponym mentioned by Diodorus (XIX.19.1)in his account of the conflict between Antigonus and Eumenes in 317 B.C., with Madaktu and hence with Tepe Patak been accepted by Classicists and ancient historians4. The present study has therefore been written in the hope that some further clarification of the identification of MadaktuJBadace is possible provided the Assyrian and Greek sources are read judiciously. and the geography of Susiana is kept clearly in mind. 2. MADAKTU = BADACE Before proceeding to the actual documentation on the city of Madaktu I shall begin with a necessary digression. The strong probability that the Elamite city known in Assyrian sources as Madaktu ("'"ma-dak-teli)is identical with the city known to Diodorus as Badace was apparently first voiced in 1882 by the French Assyriologist J. ~~~ert~.This was based 1 Cbrdoba, J.M.

  • 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.

In preparing the thirteen volumes of the Catalogue of Oriental and Indian Coins I was frequently at a loss for chronological lists. Prinsep’s Useful Tables, edited by Edward Thomas, was the only trustworthy English authority I could refer to, and it was often at fault. I generally found it necessaiy to search for correct names and dates in the Arabic historians, and the lists of dynasties prefixed to the descriptions of their coins in my Catalogue were usually the result of my own researches in many Oriental authorities. It has often been suggested to me that a reprint of these lists would be useful to students, and now that the entire Catalogue is published I have collected the tables and genealogical trees in the present volume. : VI PREFACE The work is, however, much more than a reprint of these tables. I have not only verified the dates and pedigrees by reference to the Arabic sources and added a number of dynasties which were not represented in the Catalogue of Coins, but I have endeavoured to make the lists more intelligible by prefixing to each a brief historical introduction.

  • The Network of Ismaʿili Castles in the Ala- Mut Region: Power and Governance
    THE NETWORK OF ISMAʿILI CASTLES IN THE ALA- MUT REGION: POWER AND GOVERNANCE Seyedhamed Yeganehfarzand, University of Victoria Abstract In 1090, Hasan-i Sabbah (1050s –1124), the mysterious leader of the Nizari Ismaʿilis in Persia, obtained control of Alamut Castle, one of the major existing castles in the northern part of Iran, and reinforced it as the headquarters of his activities against the Seljuq government. The Nizari Ismaʿilis gradually became a very influential community within the political and intellectual history of the Islamic world until the fall of Alamut in 1256. The principal strategy that helped them to resist their enemies and to survive in a hostile milieu was the establishment of networks of castles within inaccessible regions. This research concerns the network of Ismaʿili castles in the Alamut region. Ex- amining the distribution of the castles in the region, the paper questions the current schol- arly assumption that the network of the castles functioned as part of a defensive system, which separated the Ismaʿili territory from their enemies with a linear border. Proposing several examples as evidence, through a detailed examination of historical texts, this paper takes an alternative position, suggesting that the castles should be considered as centers of power, which formed important spheres of influence for their surrounding environment; they were also employed as effective units of governance in the expansion of the Ismaʿili dominions.1 1 This paper is based on my final Master’s research paper completed at the Department of Art History and Visual Studies, The University of Victoria. I am grateful for the advice and encouragement I received from my research supervisor Prof.

    SURESHKUMAR MUTHUKUMARAN AN ECOLOGY OF TRADE: TROPICAL ASIAN CULTIVARS IN THE ANCIENT MIDDLE EAST AND THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN SURESHKUMAR MUTHUKUMARAN Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, University College London 2016 SUPERVISORS: K. RADNER D. FULLER 1 SURESHKUMAR MUTHUKUMARAN DECLARATION I, Sureshkumar Muthukumaran, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. __________________________________________________________ 2 SURESHKUMAR MUTHUKUMARAN ABSTRACT This thesis offers an ecological reading of long distance trade in the ancient world by investigating the anthropogenic movement of tropical Asian crops from South Asia to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The crops under consideration include rice, cotton, citrus species, cucumbers, luffas, melons, lotus, taro and sissoo. ἦhἷΝ ‘ὈὄὁpiἵaliὅaὈiὁὀ’Ν ὁἸΝ εiἶἶlἷΝ EaὅὈἷὄὀΝ aὀἶΝ εἷἶiὈἷὄὄaὀἷaὀΝ aἹὄiἵὉlὈὉre was a sluggish process but one that had a significant impact on the agricultural landscapes, production patterns, dietary habits and cultural identities of peoples across the Middle East and the Mediterranean by the end of the 1st millennium BCE. This process substantially predates the so-called tropical crop-ἶὄivἷὀΝ ‘χἹὄiἵὉlὈὉὄalΝ ἤἷvὁlὉὈiὁὀ’Ν ὁἸΝ ὈhἷΝ ἷaὄlyΝ ἙὅlamiἵΝ pἷὄiὁἶΝ pὁὅiὈἷἶΝ ἴyΝ ὈhἷΝ hiὅὈὁὄiaὀΝ χὀἶὄἷwΝ WaὈὅὁὀΝ (1974-1983). The existing literature has, in fact, largely failed to appreciate the lengthy time-scale of this phenomenon whose origins lie in the Late Bronze Age. In order to contextualise the spread of tropical Asian crops to the Middle East and beyond, the history of crop movements is prefaced by a survey of long distance connectivity across maritime (Indian Ocean) and overland (Iranian plateau) routes from its prehistoric beginnings to the end of the 1st millennium BCE.

  • London Bushire
    Forthcoming in: From Persepolis to the Punjab: 19th-century discoveries (Errington, E. & Curtis, V. S., eds), London Bushire and Beyond: Some Early Archaeological Discoveries in Iran St John Simpson Some of the greatest discoveries are made by chance rather than through design. Interesting discoveries are not the sole prerogative of scholars, and the history of archaeology is closely intertwined with the personal histories of amateurs, antiquarians and travellers. The latter, in particular, have played an important pioneering role in the discovery and advertisement of the monuments and antiquities of extinct cultures, sparking the enthusiasm necessary for the gradual evolution of academic disciplines focused on the specifics of where, why and how. The following paper highlights some significant yet little-known discoveries made in Iran during the opening and closing decades of the nineteenth century. 1. Sasanian remains on the Bushire peninsula The first part relates to recurrent discoveries of Sasanian ossuaries at some eight sites on the Bushire peninsula. On 3 June 1826 one James Edward Alexander (1803-85) (Pl. 1), landed at the Persian Gulf port and seat of the British Residency of Bushire (Alexander 1827, p. 92). Alexander had obtained a cadetship in Madras in 1820 and already served in the Burmese war of 1824 when he left the East India Company to join the 13th Light Dragoons as a cornet. This was to mark the beginning of a long and active army service in Persia, the Balkans, Portugal, South Africa, the Crimea, New Zealand and Canada, finally retiring with the rank of general.1 Alexander also led exploratory expeditions in Africa and South America, but is most famous for his role in finally bringing ‘Cleopatra’s Needle’ to London, some eighty years after it had been presented by Muhammad Ali (1769-1849) to King George IV on the occasion of his coronation (O’Donnell [1893], pp.
