Abstract
The four bullae presented in this paper are part of a significant collection of over 1,500 Sas-anian clay sealings housed at the Slemani Museum in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. This particular corpus stands apart from the rest of the collection both in terms of provenance and acquisition. Furthermore, two of these bullae bear the sealings of administrative offices from the province of Ērān-āsān-kar-Kawād. This evidence prompts further reflections on King Kawād I and the late Sasanian territorial strategy in the region between the middle course of the Diyala River and the Shahrazur plain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
