Achaemenid epigraphy

Comunicazione regale e arte scribale. Modelli di trasmissione fra iscrizioni achemenidi e sasanidi

Both Achaemenian and Early Sasanian kings set epigraphic monumental programs in order to celebrate their dynasties and their authority. Despite the wide chronological gap dividing the evidence, there are several linguistic and conceptual parallels recurring within both the corpora. Several scholars underlined the importance of the oral epic tradition and the influence exerted by professional story-tellers upon the composition of the inscriptions.
