<p>[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 2566783, member: 81887"]There's no Sear volume specifically dedicated to the non-classical cultures. Sear GCV and GIC do include pretty extensive coverage of the various non-classical cultures that were contemporaneous with Greek and Roman civilizations. Between these two, you can get decent overview coverage of Celtic, Parthian and sub-Parthian (Persis, Elymais, Characene)and Bactrian and Indo-Greek coinages. No Sasanian, Kushan, or later Indian, however. The Parthian coverage is decent but badly outdated- a number of attributions have changed since Sear wrote- so I would still recommend getting the specialist books (Sellwood and Shore) if you are serious about Parthians. (I haven't yet checked out SNP-Sylloge Nummorum Parthicorum- which is an ambitious planned 9-volume corpus of Parthian coinage, only one volume (Volume 7, of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) has been released so far and the rest will arrive inn the next couple of decades.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
