[QUOTE="Bob L., post: 3125318, member: 56976"]I completely agree with all of the points made here, Parthicus. Well done. I held off buying my copy for a long time due to the cost, but eventually got it at a knocked-down price. I agree it ("Iran Under the Arsakids, 247 BC - AD 224/227") is a very important essay, quite helpful in my own recent research, and a decent encapsulation of Assar's work on Parthian history, kingship chronology and coin attributions which, prior to this, was frustratingly spread over so many articles across numerous periodicals. I know that Assar had mentioned in his obituary of Sellwood in 2012 that he would complete the 3rd edition of [I]An Introduction to the Coinage of Parthia[/I] that Sellwood and he had been working on. I've heard nothing about that project since then, and so I suppose the essay and Parthian catalog in [I]Sunrise[/I] will have to suffice for an indefinite period.
