Byzantium & Friends | 17. The peoples of the Caucasus between Rome, Iran, and the steppe, with Garth Fowden Thursday Feb 13, 2020

A conversation with Garth Fowden (University of Cambridge) about how the peoples of the Caucasus (Armenians, Georgians, and Albanians) coped with living between two empires, how those empires sought to intervene in their region, and the cultural and religious changes that took place there during the first half of the first millennium. This episode demonstrates the illuminating ways in which global and regional history can be combined.
