The Archaeology of Sasanian Politics

Workshop: April 26, 2013 | 8:45 AM - 6:00 PM

Organized by Richard Payne and Merhnoush Soroush

"Archaeological excavations, surveys, and analyses have revitalized the study of Sasanian history in recent years. The International Merv Project, the investigation of the "Great Wall of Gurgan," and the survey of the Mughan Steppe, among other projects, reveal a remarkably robust state in the fifth and sixth centuries, far more capable of marshaling men and material in its service than most historians have been willing to admit."
