Classicists, Orientalists, and other scholars present the lectures they delivered for a 2014 seminar series at Oxford University on Sasanian Iran in the context of Late Antiquity. They cover the numismatic legacy of the Sasanians in the East; Persian palace architecture, garden design, and digital archaeology; the tripartite Sasanian vision of the world; books without ritual--ritual without books; the rise of the Sasanians; a father, a daughter, and a son-in-law in Zoroastrian hermeneutics; and the king in the mirror of the Zand.
