Constantine and the Captive Christians of Persia: Martyrdom and Religious Identity in Late Antiquity Volume 57 Hardcover - 2016
by Kyle Smith
From the rear cover
"This is an excellent book. Wholly innovative, it dismantles much of the stage and script upon which the fourth-century history of the Roman-Sasanian frontier were thought to have been acted out. More significantly, Kyle Smith's deft readings lead ultimately to a new vision of the fifth and sixth centuries, when the paradigms that affected modern scholars' understanding of the fourth century emerged."--Adam H. Becker, Associate Professor of Classics and Religious Studies at New York University
"Constantine the Great's patronizing letter to his Persian counterpart, Shapur II, has long been cited as the cause of wars that led to Rome's loss of key territories in Mesopotamia. By tracking the after-life of this letter through rarely studied Syriac sources, Kyle Smith has convincingly reconfigured this story. It will be hard now for anyone to call this letter a casus belli with a straight face."--H. A. Drake, Research Professor of History at the University of California, Santa BarbaraDetails
