A Neglected Armenian Source of the Late Umayyad Era
The Armenian Martyrdom of Vahan of Gołt‘n, composed in 744 CE, offers a fresh perspective from which to study the Umayyad caliphate. A sophisticated literary composition assembled in a monastic context, the Martyrdom traces contemporary networks of power, communication, and knowledge within and beyond Armenia. As a product of the late Umayyad world, it constitutes a work of major significance for the study of the Umayyad caliphate at large and th…
Leo VI and the Transformation of Byzantine Christian Identity
Leo VI (b. 866, r. 886–912) was indeed a decidedly unexpected emperor. Treated as the second son of Basil I, despite suspicions circulating at the time that Basil’s predecessor, Michael III, was his biological father, he became heir apparent as a result of the death of his elder brother Constantine on the field of battle in 879. In August 883, he was accused of plotting to kill his father and spent three years under house arrest, being released i…
Sebeos of Armenia
Sebeos, traditionally identified as the compiler of a mid‐seventh‐century Armenian historical composition which offers a contemporary perspective on Sasanian, Byzantine and early Islamic affairs, and interactions between 572 and 661 ce .
A Contested Jurisdiction
Although Roman and Persian engagement with late antique Armenia has been analysed from several perspectives, its juridical dimension has been largely ignored. This chapter provides a reassessment of the legislation pertaining to Roman Armenia from the reign of Justinian, arguing that it offers a reflection of legal practices operating beyond the newly reorganised Roman provinces, in districts of Armenia under Persian hegemony. It may also attest …
Sasanian Persia
The Sasanian Empire (third-seventh centuries) was one of the largest empires of antiquity, stretching from Mesopotamia to modern Pakistan and from Central Asia to the Arabian Peninsula. This mega-empire withstood powerful opponents in the steppe and expanded further in Late Antiquity, whilst the Roman world shrunk in size. Recent research has revealed the reasons for this success, notably population growth in some territories, economic prosperity…
Sebeos of Armenia
Sebeos of Armenia (ca. 600–post 661 CE ) is usually credited as the author of an Armenian text that offers a wide‐ranging overview of Near Eastern history between 572 and 661. In fact the longstanding identification is unproven. Nevertheless, to avoid potential confusion, the text retains this attribution. Given the biblical imagery employed in the text, and its apocalyptic expectations, it is highly likely that the author was a cleric. We do kno…

The Armenian History attributed to Sebeos
The History attributed to Sebeos is one of the major works of early Armenian historiography. Although anonymous, it was written in the middle of the seventh century, a time when comparable chronicles in Greek and Syriac are sparse. Sebeos traces the fortunes of Armenia in the sixth and seventh centuries within the broader framework of the Byzantine-Sasanian conflict. Comprising two volumes, part 1 (240 pages) is the translation and notes followed…

Information to the Public Following a Nuclear Emergency
In the days immediately following the Chernobyl accident in 1986, agencies within Cumbria, including local authority departments, were met with an unprecedented range and volume of enquiries which staff were often ill‐equipped to deal with. In order to minimize the potential for conflicting advice being given to the public in the event of any future accident on that scale, a Nuclear Information Plan was prepared. Describes arrangements which have…
Nato Force Planning Without the Soviet Threat
in the absence of its traditional adversaries, NATO can no longer do force planning in its accustomed manner. For over 40 years, NATO force planning began by identifying military threats posed by the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. These threats were translated into particular scenarios, which included detailed estimates of the size and quality of the forces that NATO might find arrayed against it, the length of time that NATO might have to prepare its d…

Why Military Technology Is Difficult to Restrain
Military technology is difficult to restrain for many reasons. Military forces and associated technology serve important functions in the foreign policy of states. Military technology is also pursued to enhance military capability and cost-effectiveness of military forces, to ensure that one's own forces outperform those of an adversary, to play symbolic roles, and to preserve or improve stability in the international system. In addition, new mil…

Nuclear Proliferation
Two possible patterns of proliferation appear to involve the greatest risks for nuclear use or war. The first is proliferation to particular categories of states and the second dangerous possibility is proliferation at a rapid rate. But rapid proliferation could cause instabilities that might be too great for political systems and institutions to handle, making nuclear use of nuclear war more likely. Thus, any strategy for nonproliferation should…
Canadian-American Trade in Energy Resources
As events since October 1973 have again underscored, security of supply and price of energy resources have enormous strategic and economic implications for any industrialized country. Nevertheless, trade in energy resources between Canada and the United States has not always been closely managed by the central governments that are responsible for national security and economic development. In fact, the energy trade involves a wide variety of acto…
