Empires and Exchanges in Eurasian Late Antiquity offers an
integrated picture of Rome, China, Iran, and the Steppes during a
formative period of world history. In the half millennium between
250 and 750 CE, settled empires underwent deep structural changes,
while various nomadic peoples of the steppes (Huns, Avars, Turks,
and others) experienced significant interactions and movements that
changed their societies, cultures, and economies. This was a
transformational era, a time when Roman, Persian, and Chinese
monarchs were mutually aware of court practices, and when
Christians and Buddhists criss-crossed the Eurasian lands together
with merchants and armies. It was a time of greater circulation of
ideas as well as material goods. This volume provides a conceptual
frame for locating these developments in the same space and time.
Without arguing for uniformity, it illuminates the interconnections
and networks that tied countless local cultural expressions to
far-reaching inter-regional ones.
