The first modern account of the conflict between the eastern Roman Empire and the Sasanian kingdom. Greatrex traces the background to the war, investigating relations between Rome and Persia, the state of Roman defences in the East, and the chaotic situation in Persia at the end of the 5th century. He then examines the sources and the war itself, including the development of Roman defences, and the attempts by both powers to secure control of the Transcaucasian kingdoms.

From the Publisher
Rome and Persia at War joins other volumes in the series ARCA on the later Roman Empire, complementing especially those of Roger Blockley, since it continues chronologically from his East Roman Foreign Policy (ARCA 30). It addresses itself particularly to historians of the Later Roman Empire, of Sasanian Persia and of the eastern frontier. Military historians will also find it of interest as a thorough account of the late Roman army on campaign.
