Project abstract in English: This project seeks to shift attention in empire studies from the dominant position in scholarship, concentrated on empires of the modern age to empire as a phenomenon of universal history. It focuses on empires of the Eastern Mediterranean between 500 BC and 500 AD, from the Achaemenid Persian, the last empire of the ancient Near East, through empires of Alexander the Great, Seleukids, Parthians, until the Roman empire. It will locate them within the context of a broader history of empires. It wishes to overcomes traditional historical borderlines by advocating a transdisciplinary agenda that consciously focuses on the continuity and discontinuity of structures and concepts. The project will take into consideration both established, traditional empires and short-termed empires. Methodologically it envisages the concept of empire as an analytical tool to transcend already established historical epochs and to focus on long-term processes of adaption and adoption, continuity and discontinuity. It wants to study what3 / 29 empire means in the crucial period between 500 BC and 500 AD and which role the structures of empire play in a dynamic and long-term process of interconnected worlds within an Afro-Eurasian historical framework. Important aspect of this project is the historical heritage and a cultural legacy, both constituent factors in the very definition of empire. This project will probe as well the natural context of the empire: connected vassal states, cities and social elites of ancient empires, in realization that ancient empires were not strictly centralized states ruled by the king/emperor through neatly structured, uniform bureaucracy but that they were complex, multi-lingual and multi-layered states in which the central power had to negotiate its position with variety of smaller entities. This project will study reasons for longevity of some vassal states. It will investigate as well personal and family bonds between imperial and local rulers and aristocrats.
