About this Event

Parthian Art and the Graeco-Roman World

This hybrid workshop, hosted in Oxford with an online audience via Zoom, will address unresolved questions about the identity of Parthian art and its complex relationship with the classical tradition. Ranging from the origins of the Arsacid dynasty in the 3rd century BC to the emergence of a new visual culture under Sasanian rule in the 3rd century AD, this workshop will bring together a panel of international experts to consider how Parthian art connected with the art traditions of Hellenistic Asia and the Roman Empire. We will consider different media, including sculpture, coins, and luxury art, and use recent discoveries and fresh research to cast new light on old problems, including the issue of whether Parthian art even existed as a coherent phenomenon.

The workshop presentations and discussions will be recorded.

The draft programme will be released in late May 2024 and will be updated on CARC's website: https://www.carc.ox.ac.uk

Funding for this event is very generously provided by Richard Beleson in honour of Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis, under the umbrella of CARC's #AncientArtConnections initiative.
