Abstract

Buildings with two doors and horn-shaped battlements figure on the reverse of early frataraka coins of the 1 st. half of the 2 nd. cent. BCE ("first phase" coins); similar buildings but with two large stepped crenellations on the comers are shown on the coins of the second phase. In a third phase fire altars were represented. Contrary to other scholars, the authors do not believe that the building shown on the early coins is closely related to the tower-like monuments at Pasargadae and Naqsh-i Rustam. It is suggested that the monument shown on the coins had a fire altar inside and that its concept is comparable to Greek and Roman sanctuaries, such as the Ara Pacis at Rome.

祭坛和火祭坛?:建筑表现的frataraka铸币

有两扇门和角状城垛的建筑图案出现在2世纪上半叶早期弗拉塔拉卡硬币的背面。公元前分(“第一阶段”硬币);在第二阶段的硬币上展示了类似的建筑，但在拐角处有两个大的阶梯式裂缝。在第三阶段，有火祭坛。与其他学者相反，作者不相信早期硬币上显示的建筑与帕萨尔加德和纳克什-鲁斯塔姆的塔状纪念碑有密切关系。有人认为，硬币上的纪念碑内部有一个火祭坛，其概念与希腊和罗马的圣所类似，如罗马的阿拉帕西斯。
