The Iranian Expanse explores how kings in the ancient Iranian world
utilized the built and natural environment-everything from royal
cities and paradise gardens, to hunting enclosures and fire
temples-to form and contest Iranian cultural memory, royal
identity, and sacred cosmologies over a thousand years of history.
Although scholars have often noted startling continuities between
the traditions of the Achaemenids and the art and architecture of
medieval or Early Modern Islam, the tumultuous millennium between
Alexander and Islam has routinely been downplayed or omitted. The
Iranian Expanse delves into this fascinating period, examining
royal culture and identity as something built and shaped by
strategic changes to architectonic and urban spaces and the
landscape of Western Asia. Canepa shows how the Seleucids,
Arsacids, and Sasanians played a transformative role in developing
a new Iranian royal culture that deeply influenced not only early
Islam, but also the wider Persianate world of the Il-Khans,
Safavids, Timurids, and Mughals.
