As part of the research project funded by the German Research Foundation: 'Vassal Rule in the Sāsānid Commonwealth', a workshop of the 'Project Working Group' will take place in Jena from 07-09 September 2023. On this occasion, the current leading researchers in the field of the history of the Sāsānid Empire, representatives of local research and aspiring young scholars will come together in Jena.
The event offers the opportunity to get to know each other personally and is intended to serve the exchange of current scientific results. In addition, it is intended to facilitate the creation of a network that will bring the scientific community closer together in the coming years and further strengthen Jena as a centre for research into the ancient Orient.
To this end, the theme of the conference is deliberately broad with the concepts of indirect rule and commonwealth. This allows for a broad spectrum of contributions that paint a more comprehensive picture of the methods of rule used by the Sasanian kings of kings.
In terms of content, the papers range multidisciplinarily chronologically from the late period of Arsacid rule to the early Islamic period and thematically from linguistic aspects to religious studies issues and the presentation of results on current archaeological research.
