  • Religion: Christianity and Zoroastrianism
    This page intentionally left blank ROME AND PERSIA IN LATE ANTIQUITY The foundation of the Sasanian Empire in ad 224 established a formidable new power on the Roman Empire’s Eastern frontier, and relations over the next four centuries proved turbulent. This book provides a chronological narrative of their relationship, supported by a substantial collection of translated sources illustrating important themes and structural patterns. The political goals of the two sides, their military confrontations and their diplomatic solutions are dis- cussed, as well as the common interests between the two powers. Special attention is given to the situation of Arabia and Armenia, to economic aspects, the protection of the frontiers, the religious life in both empires and the channels of communication between East and West. In its wide chronological scope, the study explores the role played by the Sasanians in the history of the ancient Near East. The book will prove invaluable for students and non-specialists interested in late antiquity and early Byzantium, and it will be equally useful for specialists on these subjects. beate dignas is Fellow and Tutorin Ancient History at Somerville College, Oxford.

  • Roman Warfare and Fortification
    Roman Warfare and Fortification Oxford Handbooks Online Roman Warfare and Fortification Gwyn Davies The Oxford Handbook of Engineering and Technology in the Classical World Edited by John Peter Oleson Print Publication Date: Dec 2009 Subject: Classical Studies, Ancient Roman History, Material Culture Studies Online Publication Date: Sep 2012 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199734856.013.0028 Abstract and Keywords This article concentrates on the role of technology in improving the operational capabilities of the Roman state. It reviews the organizational and weapon system developments that enabled Roman armies to engage their enemies with confidence in the field, alongside the evolution of fortification schemes that enabled economies of force, which were essential to imperial security. Roman weapons and equipment include the spear, sword, missiles, artillery, shields, helmets, and body armor. Although the Roman army was often on the attack and made use of complex siege technology, it was also highly skilled in the preparation of defensive fortifications. The Romans diligently applied themselves to the arts of war. Their successful mastery of battlefield techniques and their adoption, where appropriate, of equipment and technologies first introduced by their opponents allowed Roman armies to sustain the state over several hundreds of years of challenge and change. Keywords: Roman armies, Roman warfare, Roman fortification, spear, sword, missiles, artillery, shields, helmets, body armor Warfare and the Romans A message relayed to the Roman people by Romulus after his translation to the heavens, stands as an unambiguous endorsement of Roman military prowess. “Tell the Romans that it is the gods' will that my Rome shall be the capital of the world; therefore let them cultivate the arts of war and let them know and teach their children that no human force can resist Roman arms” (Livy 1.16.7).

  • The Development of Roman Mailed Cavalry
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROMAN MAILED CAVALRY By JOHN W. EADIE (Plates IX-XI) The willingness of the Romans to adopt foreign military practices and to modify, and hereby strengthen, legionary organization, equipment, and tactics is well-documented and thas been discussed frequently by modern scholars. One manifestation of this pragmatic approach, however, has not received the attention it deserves-viz. their attempts during the Empire to develop an effective cavalry. In this effort the Romans employed a variety of cavalrymen and cavalry tactics, but one of the most interesting and certainly one of the most enduring products was the mailed cavalry. The origin, development and success of this force-which became a prominent branch of the Roman army after the first century A.D.-cannot be analysed without some reference to earlier experiments with cavalry equipment and tactics in the Mediterranean area. The Romans did not invent the heavy- armoured horseman : on the contrary, the innovators were the Assyrians, whose monuments uniquely illustrate the evolution of cavalry technique in antiquity.l Delineation of the Assyrian development is instructive, for they were required to solve many of the technical and tactical problems which later confronted the Romans. Moreover, the tactics employed and the cavalry types created by the Assyrians are remarkably similar to the later Roman. To facilitate comparison of the Assyrian and Roman experience, in the following assessment the equivalent Greek and Latin terminology has been supplied for each phase in the Assyrian development. The introduction of regular cavalry into the Assyrian army was effected by the middle of the ninth century B.c., for sculptures at Nimrud from the reign of ASSur-nasir-apli I1 (883-859) depict unarmoured Assyrian mounted archers, equipped with bow and sword, attacking enemy mounted archers2 The appearance of the enemy mounted archers in the reliefs suggests that the Assyrian light cavalry may have been created primarily to combat nomadic invaders4.e.

  • Some Remarks on the Function of Roman Helmets with Face Masks
    KRZYSZTOF NARLOCH THE COLD FACE OF BATTLE – SOME REMARKS ON THE FUNCTION OF ROMAN HELMETS WITH FACE MASKS Roman helmets with face masks were found throughout the Roman Empire, in graves and where cavalry units were stationed. Their usage is dated back from the turn of eras to the 4th century 1. Although refer- ences to masked helmets appear in the works of Roman authors 2 their provenience and application as a type of armour is still unclear and arouses much interest amongst researchers. Helmets with masks consist of a bell and a metal facial protector which depicts human countenance 3. The leading motif is a young man’s face. Both parts – the bell and the mask – were bound with a hinge or hooks hidden under the hair line, behind the diadem or a piled up hairdo. Both elements were attached with a leather strap at the bottom of the rim and nailed to buttons placed at the edge of the mask and the neck guard. A lot of masks take the shape of women’s faces with more or less impressive hairstyles. There was smoothly combed back hair adjacent to the head and hairdos styled with inwrought wreaths, both constructions being made of strings and chains 4. The bells, similar to masks, were produced with a hammering technique. The right form was obtained by a stroke of a hammer and the use of organic intermediary tools 5. The major part of the helmet is covered with a relief decoration depicting figural scenes, leaves, flowers and military signs 6. Additional decorative elements are imitations of precious stones.

  • CP 15 Sasanian Military Conflict D
    CP 15 Sasanian Military Conflict d. Second Golden Era (498–622) The second golden era began after the second reign of Kavadh I. With the support of the Hephtalites, Kavadh I launched a campaign against the Romans. In 502, he took Theodosiopolis (Erzurum) in Armenia. In 503 he took Amida (Diarbekr) on the Tigris. In 505, an invasion of Armenia by the western Huns from the Caucasus led to an armistice, during which the Romans paid subsidies to the Persians for the maintenance of the fortifications on the Caucasus. In year 525, he suppressed revolts in Lazica and recaptured Georgia. His army with aid of Lakhmid ruler (a Sasanian vassal kingdom), al-Mundhir IV ibn al-Mundhir defeated the Byzatine army under command of famed Belisarius twice, one in year 530 in Battle of Nisbis and other in year 531 in Battle of Callinicum. Although he could not free himself from the yoke of the Ephthalites, Kavadh succeeded in restoring order in the interior and fought with success against the Romans, founded several cities, some of which were named after him, and began to regulate the taxation. After Kavadh I, his son Khosrow I, also known as Anushirvan ("with the immortal soul"; ruled 531–579), ascended to the throne. He is the most celebrated of the Sasanian rulers. Khosrow I is most famous for his reforms in the aging governing body of Sasanians. In his reforms he introduced a rational system of taxation, based upon a survey of landed possessions, which his father had begun and tried in every way to increase the welfare and the revenues of his empire.

  • Equestrian Military Equipment of the Eastern Roman Armies in the Sixth and Seventh Centuries
    Equestrian Military Equipment of the Eastern Roman Armies in the Sixth and Seventh Centuries Mattia Caprioli I. Introduction The importance of horsemen, in particular horse archers, in the Eastern Roman armies during the sixth and seventh centuries AD, is well acknowledged in both ancient sources and modern studies. Even in the most famous military treatise of the period, the Strategikon by Emperor Maurice Tiberius, at least half of the books of which it is composed deal specifically with cavalry equipment, training, and deployment on the battlefield.1 However, modern studies somewhat neglect the most important component of the Eastern Roman horseman – the horse. In particular, there seems to be a lack of detailed studies dealing with the military equipment of Eastern Roman warhorses during the sixth and seventh centuries. This is probably partially due to the brief, but detailed, description of equestrian equipment in the Strategikon which, however, is perhaps taken too much for granted given the reliability of the treatise, and without a proper cross-comparison with other sources. Also, in the Strategikon we do not have any direct or detailed information on some specific matters, such as the production of the equipment itself and the actual diffusion of some of its components (such as armor and stirrups) in the army, neither of which has been adequately explored. The Strategikon, however, remains an essential source from which every study on the subject of the Eastern Roman 1 For a detailed analysis of the warfare of the sixth and seventh centuries and the role of horsemen, see Philip Rance, “Narses and the Battle of Taginae (Busta Gallorum) 552: Procopius and Sixth Century Warfare,” Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte 54:H.4 (2005): 424-472.
