解説

A major new history of the Sasanian Persians

The Sasanian Empire was the largest state in late antiquity. Its frontiers reached north into the Caucasus, south to the Persian Gulf, and from the Oxus River to the Euphrates. Over four centuries, belief systems were codified, new allegiances forged, and immense fortifications erected. The Sasanians built great cities, like Nishapur, and created beautiful artefacts that were shipped to far-flung places-their glassware even reached as far as Japan.

In this engaging, insightful new history, Eve MacDonald traces the story of the Sasanian Empire from the second century CE to its collapse in the seventh. Moving through key individuals, MacDonald explores the importance of Zoroastrianism, the remarkable power of its queens, and the increasing influence of Christianity. This is an unforgettable account of an extraordinary dynasty and the indelible mark it left on the legends, folklore, and cultures of the world, from the Mediterranean to China.
