Mapping Ancient Cultural Encounters: Greeks in Iran ca. 550 BC – ca. AD 650

The encounters between the ancient Greek and ancient Iranian worlds hold a significant place in the history of East–West relations. They also represent a field of research in which Greek scholarly presence is notably limited. This project aims at a collection, assessment and systematic
presentation, through an open-access digital platform, of the diverse archaeological, epigraphic, and numismatic evidence that relates to the Greek presence and the Greek-Iranian interactions within the territory of the modern state of Iran during the Achaemenid, Alexandrine–Hellenistic, Parthian, and Sasanian periods.
