| PERSIAN (W24) | 150 IRAN AFTER ALEXNDER | CANEPA, M. |
| This course will explore the art, archaeology and history of Western, Central and South Asia and the Iranian world, broadly conceived, from Alexander through the Parthians. It will concentrate heavily on the development of architecture and urbanism under the Greco-Macedonian kingdoms that emerged on the Iranian plateau and Central Asia after the fall of the Achaemenids, and the Iranian peoples who eventually overthrew these Greek kingdoms and established their own empires. Thus the core of the class will be on the development of Seleucid Asia (from Syria to Bactria), the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, the Indo-Greek kingdoms, Parthia, and post-Achaemenid Pontos, Cappadocia and the Caucasus. In addition it will consider the impact of the Hellenistic Iranian visual and material culture on the nomadic empires of the Eurasian steppe. |
