In the past four decades since the field of late antique studies
began to gather real momentum, scholars have debated the place of
early Islam within the late antique world, particularly in relation
to the issue of where and when 'Late Antiquity' ends. Although the
Sasanian empire (in what is now modern Iran) became equally
powerful as the Byzantine empire, and the two often forged their
characters and practices on the basis of their relations with each
other, that has rarely translated into equal coverage for the
eastern part of the late antique world in studies of the period.
Late Antiquity: Eastern Perspectives aims to redress this balance
and situate Iran with the broader world of this era. Eight papers
serve as case studies for considering narratives and perspectives
other than those emanating from Byzantium or, more generally, 'the
West'. They demonstrate the potential of eastern source-material,
particularly James Howard-Johnston's double-length article which
produces a detailed reconstruction of the Sasanian army.
