Nomads in Late Antiquity: Gazing on Rome from the steppe, Attila to Asparuch (370-680 c.e.)
The Roman Empire and the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian Steppe had a long history of interaction, one which became more intense in Late Antiquity (for this work, the period between 370-680 C.E.). In my dissertation I analyze the effects of interaction with the Roman Empire on the history of nomadic steppe peoples. I demonstrate Rome's ability to actively and passively manipulate the social and political organization of nomadic groups, as well as the empire's critical role in the history of nomadic migrations, wars, and diplomacy
