A NOTE ON THE “SAINT PETERSBURG SCHOOL” AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO SASANIAN NUMISMATICS: PAST AND PRESENT
Journal Title: Метаморфозы истории - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue
Abstract
This essay presents a bibliographical outline of the contribution of Saint Petersburg scholars to the study of Sasanian numismatics, from the mid-19th century up to today. The “Saint Petersburg School” of Sasanian numismatics seems to have passed two substantial periods during the past two centuries: a period of “collector-cataloguer collaboration” in the 19th century and a period of “historical-archaeological numismatics” during the Soviet and post-Soviet time. In the following, the characteristic and highlights of the “Saint Petersburg School” are surveyed and the representatives of each period are briefly introduced.
