Modern ideas about European identity have profoundly informed the historiography of the Hellenistic World. Thus, the Seleukid Empire (c. 312/11-64/3) has been rendered a product of "Classical" civilization, an "Oriental" state, and of course an empire "between East and West". In these simplifications, Greece is usually seen in opposition to a more or less amorphous (Near) East, where the latter has recently been presented as essentially static through the emphasis on the continuity and pureness of alleged indigenous culture during the Hellenistic period. The West by contrast is conceptualized as either more dynamic and more advanced than the East, or as intrusive, oppressive and colonialist. This paper reviews the various ways in which a modernist East-West dichotomy has distorted historical interpretations of the Hellenistic world. The conventional equation of the Seleukid Empire with a European nation state by ascribing to it such modern features as official borders, average population density, a capital, an impersonal centralized administration, and so forth, is also discussed. As a new avenue of research, it is proposed to see ancient empires not as rigidly structured “states” but as dynamic, negotiated enterprises and flexible networks of personal relations centered on the dynasty and the court, and thereby to hook up with the Imperial Turn in World History. Written in 2011; revised version 2012. Unpublished: peer reviewers' reactions to this paper were so hostile that I decided to see it as unpublishable in an academic journal (though times may now have changed in favor of a more nuanced view of culture and identity in the so-called Hellenistic World), as well as a more inclusive view of Classics and Ancient History, one in which the Near East, Iran, and Central Asia/India, as well as East Africa, are no longer viewed as peripheral to the Ancient World.
The iconic minaret of Djām stands in a remote mountain valley in central Afghanistan, the finest surviving monument of the enigmatic Ghūrid dynasty. The seasonally nomadic Ghūrids rose to prominence ca 545 / 1150-1 when they devastated the capitals of the neighbouring Ghaznawid dynasty. Over the next sixty-five years, the Ghūrids expanded their polity into Khurāsān and the northern Indian sub-continent, before succumbing to the Khwārazm-Shāh and then the Mongols. Their summer capital of Fīrūzkūh, which is thought to be modern Djām, was abandoned and never re-occupied. The re-discovery of the minaret half a century ago prompted renewed interest in the Ghūrids, and this has intensified since Djām became Afghanistan’s first World Heritage site in 2002. The few studies that have been published, however, have largely been historical or architectural; relatively little archaeological data has been collected from Ghūrid sites and Djām has suffered extensive looting in recent years. Two seasons of archaeological fieldwork at Djām, the detailed analysis of satellite images and the innovative use of Google Earth as a cultural heritage management tool have resulted in a wealth of new information about known Ghūrid sites, and the identification of hundreds of previously undocumented archaeological sites across Afghanistan. Drawing inspiration from the Annales School and Adam T. Smith’s concept of an ‘archipelagic landscape’, I have used these data to re-assess the Ghūrids and generate a more nuanced understanding of this significant medieval polity. In addition to complementing the événements which form the focus of the urban-based historical sources, the new archaeological data have enabled me to reconsider the urban characteristics of the Ghūrids’ summer capital and explore the issues of Ghūrid identity, ideology and the sustainability of their polity. The use of Google Earth, in particular, represents an advance in archaeological methodology applicable to semi-arid landscapes throughout the region.
