| dc.description.abstract | This volume focuses on the thorny relations between empires and religions. All empires employed religious semantics and religious rituals in their practice of rulership, and many invested substantial human and material resources in furthering specific religious ideas or personnel. Many were also challenged by the religious establishment. The contributions explore these dynamics in major Eurasian continental empires throughout history. | |
