today a quick entry. It has been a while since I visited the ancient Iran.
Hence I would like to take bring to your attention the person and scholarship of professor Jozef W. Wolski, Polish scholar and gentleman, whose life and work has been nicely brought together in this article by professor Marek Olbrycht (another version from Iranica).
You can download the Wolski's doctoral thesis - Arsaces I of Parthia - , in Polish, from the Wielkopolska Biblioteka Cyfrowa - 1937 and 1938 issues of Quarterly EOS.
I am including in this post my sketch of the Parthian kontophoros or heavy lancer hunting a lion, a copy from a Babylonian ceramic tile (held at the British Museum).
