Conférence de Khodadad Rezakhani : East of Iran and East Iran

Conférence de Khodadad Rezkhani (Académie Autrichienne des Sciences - OAW (Vienne, Autriche))

dans le cadre du cycle de conférences “The Orient’s East. Iran and Eurasia in the First Millennium CE”

Moving from Rome’s perception of the East, the third session leads us to the East of Eranshahr and to the Iranian perspective. From the Arsacid period – from a strictly Parthian to an Indo-Parthian and Armenian point of view – we move towards Ardashir’s conquest of Eranshahr, and how the East – and therefore also the Kushans and the Huns – plays into the construction of the Sasanian world, with a perspective from Middle Persian sources such as the Bundahishn, and in particular from the epigraphic and numismatic evidence. On this last element, comments on the effect of the Muslim conquest towards currency unification will be made.
