Day 2 - Parthian Art and the Graeco-Roman World - hybrid workshop
See our website for the programme and registration details at www.carc.ox.ac.uk Registration is free, whether in person or online, and open to all but please book a place on our Eventbrite page.
This hybrid workshop 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.
