| Zusammenfassung: | Details Persia's growing military and economic power in the late antique worldThe Sasanian Empire (3rd-7th centuries) was one of the largest empires of antiquity, stretching from Mesopotamia to modern Pakistan and from Central Asia to the Arabian Peninsula. This mega-empire withstood powerful opponents in the steppe and expanded further in Late Antiquity, whilst the Roman world shrunk in size. Recent research has revealed the reasons for this success: notably population growth in some key territories, economic prosperity, and urban development, made possible through investment in agriculture and military infrastructure on a scale unparalleled in the late antique world. Our volume explores the empire's relations with its neighbours and key phenomena which contributed to its wealth and power, from the empire's armed forces to agriculture, trade and treatment of minorities. The latest discoveries, notably major urban foundations, fortifications and irrigations systems, feature prominently. An empire whose military might and culture rivalled Rome and foreshadowed the caliphate will be of interest to scholars of the Roman and Islamic world.Challenges our Eurocentric world view by presenting a Near-Eastern empire whose urban culture and military apparatus rivalled that of Rome Covers the latest discoveries on foundations, fortifications and irrigation systemsIncludes case studies on Sasanian frontier walls and urban culture in the Sasanian Empire |

Apr 2022) Details Persia's growing military and economic power in the late antique worldThe Sasanian Empire (3rd-7th centuries) was one of the largest empires of antiquity, stretching from Mesopotamia to modern Pakistan and from Central Asia to the Arabian Peninsula. This mega-empire withstood powerful opponents in the steppe and expanded further in Late Antiquity, whilst the Roman world shrunk in size. Recent research has revealed the reasons for this success: notably population growth in some key territories, economic prosperity, and urban development, made possible through investment in agriculture and military infrastructure on a scale unparalleled in the late antique world. Our volume explores the empire's relations with its neighbours and key phenomena which contributed to its wealth and power, from the empire's armed forces to agriculture, trade and treatment of minorities. The latest discoveries, notably major urban foundations, fortifications and irrigations systems, feature prominently. An empire whose military might and culture rivalled Rome and foreshadowed the caliphate will be of interest to scholars of the Roman and Islamic world.Challenges our Eurocentric world view by presenting a Near-Eastern empire whose urban culture and military apparatus rivalled that of Rome Covers the latest discoveries on foundations, fortifications and irrigation systemsIncludes case studies on Sasanian frontier walls and urban culture in the Sasanian Empire In English Classics & Ancient History HISTORY / Ancient / General bisacsh Antiquities Iran Antiquities Excavations (Archaeology) Iran Sassanids Amiri, Sarieh Sonstige oth Andrieu-Ponel, Valérie Sonstige oth Ball, Warwick Sonstige oth Beaulieu, Jacques-Louis de Sonstige oth Callieri, Pierfrancesco Sonstige oth Davoudi, Hossein Sonstige oth Decruyenaere, Delphine Sonstige oth Djamali, Morteza Sonstige oth Fathi, Homa Sonstige oth Greenwood, Tim Sonstige oth Hopper, Kristen Sonstige oth Howard-Johnston, James Sonstige oth Khazaeli, Roya Sonstige oth Lawrence, Dan Sonstige oth Llewellyn-Jones, Lloyd Sonstige oth Mashkour, Marjan Sonstige oth Mohaseb, Azadeh Sonstige oth Morley, Craig Sonstige oth Naderi-Beni, Abdolmajid Sonstige oth Nokandeh, Jebrael Sonstige oth https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474401029 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
