Document Details : Title: A Never-Ending Story Subtitle: The Process of Militarisation in the Van, Sevan and Orumiyeh Basins from the Achaemenid to the Sasanian Period Author(s): DAN, Roberto , CESARETTI, Andrea Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 22 Date: 2023 Pages: 109-131 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.22.0.3292243 Abstract : This contribution is the last of three analysing processes concerning militarisation of the territories located around the Van, Sevan and Orumiyeh basins. The first paper was of a more methodological perspective, while the second examined the long protohistoric period up to the advent in the region of the state of Urartu. The present work aims to investigate the development of militarisation processes that occurred when these territories gradually became part of supra-regional dynamics as part of great empires such as the Achaemenid and Sasanian. The study identifies that the dynamics related to militarisation changed modality but remained substantially present in these regions, which in this period underwent the construction of large fortification systems over wide portions of territory. |
