N1  - "Many of the papers in this book originate from the two-day colloquium Persianism in Antiquity, held at the Netherlands Instititute (NIT) in Turkey, Istanbul, on 24-25 April 2014"--P. [7]; Dedicated to Professor Henk Versnel, on the occasion of his 80th birthday; Festschrift, incorporating international conference proceedings; Includes bibliographical references (pages [459]-557)
N2  - The aim of this conference is to trace the origins of the concept of "Persia" in post-Achaemenid antiquity. It was in the Hellenistic and early Roman Near East that the idea of Persia fully developed. From the second century BCE, a varied cultural style developed that can best be described as "Persianism" -- the appropriation of an idealized past through the re-use or invention of imagery and concepts associated with that past
