In 'Sophene, Gordyene, and Adiabene', M. Marciak offers the first-ever comprehensive
study of the history and culture of these three little-known countries of Northern
Mesopotamia (3rd century BCE - 7th century CE). The book gives an overview of the
historical geography, material culture, and political history of each of these countries.
Furthermore, the summary offers a regional perspective by describing the history of
this area as a subject of the political and cultural competition of great powers.
This book answers both a recent growth of interest in ancient Mesopotamia as the frontier
area, as well as the urgent need for documentation of the cultural heritage of a region
that has recently become subject to the destructive influence of sectarian violence
