About
"This book is a true "tour de force" in the scholarship of the late ancient world. Canepa has bridged the traditional divide between Classical and Iranian studies to illuminate the long-running artistic dialogue between the late Roman and Sasanian Empires. Every chapter offers exciting new insights into the development of late antique art and rituals of power."--Joel Walker, author of "The Legend of Mar Qardagh: Narrative and Christian Heroism in Late Antique Iraq" ""The Two Eyes of the Earth" is a masterly synthesis of a theme of the utmost importance for the political culture of the late antique world."--Peter Brown, author of "Power and Persuasion "
