Anotace knihy

From 226 C.E. to 640 C.E., the Sasanian Empire occupied the territories now divided between modern Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Armenia. One of the most significant material remnants of the large communities of Jews living within the empire are seals used for identification, almost all of which are signet rings whose styles, inscriptions, and sites of discovery provide important clues about the size and status of Jewish populations throughout the empire. Seals show how Jews within the empire adopted or resisted certain Sasanian symbols and motifs and how they sustained traditional Jewish references, such as Daniel in the lion's den. This volume presents fifty-seven Jewish seals from the Sasanian Empire, as well as comparative seals and other Sasanian artefacts. The text identifies their provenance (if known), translates their inscriptions, and organizes them by their depiction or reference.
