520 The Sasanian Empire (third-seventh 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 territories, economic
prosperity and urban development, made possible through
investment in agriculture and military infrastructure on a
scale unparalleled in the late antique world. This 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 urban culture rivalled Rome and foreshadowed the
caliphate will be of interest to scholars of the Roman and
Islamic world.
