Given P. Naster's numismatic, art historical, and archaeological
background, and his expertise in Classical and Ancient Near Eastern
subjects, the presentations to his 'Festschrift' cover a broad thematic
and temporal span. The papers of volume II may be divided into the
following general categories: philology (including general, Greek/Latin,
Egyptian, South Arabian, Hebrew, Persian), Assyriology, Art History,
Egyptology, and Anthropology, History, Hittite/Anatolian studies,
Persian religion, and historical geography. Obviously, some studies will
cover more than one definitive area.
