I have a number of remarks that I hope might be further commented: 1. This six-century conflict I think had further implications and causes than apparent. I suppose that there were some religious and propbably "ideological" factors. This is probably true for the later periods of the war : The Sassanid-Byzantine wars. 2. There was also a lot of conspiracies involved in this conflict, for instigating local rebellions and/or bring a regime change of the ennemy, or more frequently his allies. 3. Regarding the proxies wars and the war scenes : This is a rather complicated subject I guess, but lots of trbes and kingdoms not necessarly lying on the border of these "superpowers". For instance Axium, Yemen, and central Asian plains, I don't know how this fits in the general picture. 4. How did the Persians and the Romans regard each other? Were there any cultural exchanges or influences? Finally, I think that we are lucky that neither protagonist had any of the advanced killing machines we have today. I mean could you imagine 600 years of nuking each other (clearly no MAD doctrine was respected here). I would like to thank the Professor Strauss for this very insightful article.

Persia was Iran. From Indo-European people. Persia or ancient Iran stretched from Indus to the egyptien border (and yes included the current Iraq). Iraq did not exist at that time. Kant is known as the biggest German philosopher ever. Now in today's borders, he was born in a town that is in current Russia. But it would be childish to say he was Russian. He was German, spoke German and had a German culture. It is amazing that people know so little about Persia (or ancient Iran), that contributed immensely to world civilization.
