Document Details : Title: Sasanian and Arab-Sasanian Coins from Eastern Arabia Author(s): POTTS, D.T. , CRIBB, J. Journal: Iranica Antiqua Volume: 30 Date: 1995 Pages: 123-139 DOI: 10.2143/IA.30.0.519287 Abstract : In his concise history of the Sasanian empire Klaus Schippmann wrote, “Die Münzen sind wohl unter allen Denkmälern der Sasanidenzeit eine der wichtigsten Quellen”. The purpose of this contribution is to offer a numismatic perspective on Sasanian involvement in eastern Arabia, thereby drawing together two important threads in Klaus Schippmann’s distinguished career — his longstanding interest in the Sasanians, and his more recent involvement in the archaeology of the Gulf region. |
