Reviews
Despite the granular nature of the data presented in the volume in both archaeological and historical terms, the work should not be dismissed as a series of reports. Instead, chapter authors repeatedly demonstrate the ability to draw meaningful conclusions even in the face of considerable contradictory pluralisms, to borrow a turn of phrase from Greenwood (p. 200)... Considered as a whole, the volume makes a compelling argument for the innovative nature of Sasanian power, and its ability to develop uniquely appropriate strategies that facilitated both the growth and maintenance of its sphere in a wide variety of contexts., The work is recommended to all who are working on the Sasanian Empire. This publication has once again demonstrated that "Edinburgh Studies in Ancient Persia" has become an important publishing series for pre-Islamic Persia. Translated from the German

Synopsis
The 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 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 systems.

Seller feedback (899)
- m***a (259)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Macdonald (#187076052775)
