A proposito di questo titolo

This episode delves into the untold story of the Armenians in Safavid Persia, focusing on Shah Abbas I's forced relocation of tens of thousands of Armenians from Julfa to Isfahan in 1604-1605. Lucas and Luna explore the strategic logic behind this mass transfer, the founding of New Julfa as a semi-autonomous Armenian quarter, and the extraordinary commercial network the Armenians built from the Baltic to Bengal. The conversation covers the role of the Armenian merchant elite in financing the shah's wars, the silk trade with Europe, the architectural legacy of the Vank Cathedral, and the cultural exchange that flourished despite religious differences. Lucas highlights how this diaspora community became the backbone of Safavid trade and diplomacy, while maintaining its distinct identity under Twelver Shiite rule. The episode also touches on the tensions between integration and segregation, and how the Armenians' success sowed seeds of later decline. It's a nuanced look at empire, religion, and capitalism in the early modern world.
