Abstract :

Archaeological research at the state of Stoene & Asak city of Parthian period in north of KhorasanIn the map of the Parthian empire, the name "Stoeneh" is seen as one of the important states of Parthia, which is located in the geographical area of northeastern Iran. The importance of this state is due to the historical events of the first kings of the Parthian dynasty; it is also said that Asak, the city where the Ashk I were crowned, was located in this state.During a survey, we found evidence of fortresses belonging to the Parthian era in a village called Ostad in the city of Farooj, which is located next to the city of Quchan. These fortresses are known as the Qaleh Kohne now. According to the villagers, in the past, Ostoo was said to have changed its name to Ostad, which is close to the ancient word Stoeneh.In this article, while describing the historical events of this important part of the Parthian geography, field findings will be given for a complete description of this state and the works of Asak city and the borders of Stoene state.
