The attention of scholars towards the Greek presence in the Iranian plateau and Central Asia (in particular for the period from Alexander the Great onwards) is being characterized in recent years by a series of works that help significantly, if not substantially, in highlight a reality for many complex aspects, not only from a political point of view and evenemential and in which, perhaps more than elsewhere, there is a need for team work in order to combine different knowledge and grasp, so no partial intersections and complex cultural interactions. The volume in question, which is due to the careful attention of Georges Rougemont, with important contributions by Paul Bernard, fits perfectly into this trend, and has a long history. The project sees the light here is in fact due, first, to the long and masterly activities of Louis Robert (whose shadow lingers in almost all scientific volume), then continued by other scholars over the years, up to the final drafting of this substantial collection. The book is published as part of a necklace prestigious and important as the Corpus Inscriptionum Iranicarum, fitting into the section devoted to the inscriptions, mostly of Iranian languages , of the Seleucid and Parthian (Part II, which, in the work plan includes six volumes divided into several volumes). In its ' Présentation ' Rougemont immediately clarifies the limits of his anthology, which deliberately covers only Iran, Afghanistan, north- west Pakistan, some former Soviet republics of Central Asia (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan), without include Mesopotamia, the Persian Gulf ( and its islands ) and Armenia (unlike the collection of Canali De Rossi ). The texts are collected in Greek then divided by city and regions, starting from Susa, followed by Persis, Media, owns it - Hyrcania, Drangiana, Aracosia, Gandhara, Bactria and Sogdania, with an appendix of ' Addenda '. Most of the documents comprising the period between the fourth century BC and the beginning of the first century AD, but with some concessions Achaemenid age and that of the Kushan ( are excluded deliberately, the few inscriptions Sassanian ).
