Abstract

Im Zuge des Krieges gegen Mithridates VI. von Pontos stießen die Römer im 1. Jh. v. Chr. in die Gebiete des Isthmos zwischen Schwarzem und Kaspischem Meer vor. Im zentralen Teil dieser Region befand sich südlich des Großen Kaukasus das Königreich Iberien (mod. Ostgeorgien), das fortan sowohl im Fokus römischer als auch iranischer Interessen stand und in die Grenzpolitik der beiden Großreiche eingebunden wurde. Frank Schleicher bietet einen Überblick über die historische Entwicklung Iberiens und der gesamten Region vom ersten römischen Kontakt bis zur arabischen Eroberung im siebten Jahrhundert, indem er die sozialen, kulturellen und religiösen Entwicklungen des Reiches nachzeichnet. Im Zentrum der Darstellung stehen die Leitfragen, welche Rolle Iberien in der großen Politik zwischen Rom und Iran spielte, wie es von beiden Großreichen kulturell geprägt wurde und welche Handlungsspielräume sich für seine Eliten und Herrscher aufgrund der besonderen geographischen Lage ergaben

Abstract

This volume brings together the views of biblical scholars, Achaemenid historians and classicists in relation to the problems of reconstructing the history of the Persian empire. It addresses the ways in which scholars of each of these disciplines have struggled with the complexity and limitations of the ancient sources. Some of the essays in this volume discuss issues surrounding the identification of authorial biases and evaluate what - if anything – remains as possible ‘historical’ evidence, while others examine the scholarly consensus on the question of Persian policy on the religion and laws of its subjects. What unites the essays in this volume is the commitment of their authors to recognise the difficulties with the sources and to constantly engage in new appraisals of them in dialogue with scholars in their own fields, but also in dialogue with scholars in related fields.
