The foundation of the Sasanian Empire in Persia in AD 224
established a formidable new power on the Roman Empire's eastern
frontier, and relations over the next four centuries proved
turbulent. This book provides a chronological narrative of their
relationship, supported by a substantial collection of translated
sources illustrating structural patterns. The political goals of
the two sides, their military confrontations and their diplomatic
solutions are discussed, as well as the common interests between
the two powers. Special attention is given to the situation of
Arabia and Armenia, to economic aspects, the protection of the
frontiers, the religious life in both empires and the channels of
communication between East and West. Considerable attention is also
paid to exploring the role played by the Sasanians in the history
of the ancient Near East. The book will prove invaluable for
students and non-specialists interested in late antiquity and early
Byzantium.
