SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Sasanian Persia, which succeeded the Parthians, was one of the great powers of late antiquity and the most significant power in the Near East together with the Roman Empire. This book undertakes a thorough investigation of the diverse range of written, numismatic and archaeological sources in order to reassess Sasanian political ideology and its sources and influences in the ideologies of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, Babylonian scholarship and prophesy, and Hellenistic Greek thought. It sheds fresh light on the political complexities of early Arsacid and Sasanian history, especially the situation in Babylon and Elymais, and on the Roman propaganda which penetrated, shaped and determined Roman attitudes towards Sasanian Persia"--
