Socioeconomic Transformation in the Sasanian Empire
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4744-7556-3 (ISBN)
Recent studies have demonstrated the diverse character of the socioeconomic dynamics behind the socio-political transformations and infrastructural developments in different territories of the Sasanian and Roman Empires. Notwithstanding its distinct environmental and socio-cultural settings, the cultural landscapes in the Sasanian realm are much less studied than those of the neighbouring empire to the west. Based on an inter-disciplinary approach, this monograph bridges this gap and highlights such diversity on a regional scale in the Central Zagros. Socioeconomic Transformation in the Sasanian Empire provides for a deeper understanding of the actual historical events and long-term cultural processes in the Central Zagros by disclosing the roles of various inter-related cultural and natural factors and the demographic and economic transitions that caused them. Ultimately, this work contributes to debates about the reconstruction of sociopolitical transitions in the late antique world.
Hossein Habibi is an Assistant Professor at the Archaeology Department of the University of Jiroft and a former Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), the University of Edinburgh. The book is based on his research project at this institute and is his first book. He has published a number of journal articles and chapters and has other publications forthcoming.
