A proposito di questo titolo

 In the seventh century, the Sassanid Empire and the Byzantine Roman Empire fought a decades-long conflict that left both powers exhausted and vulnerable—paving the way for the rise of Islam. This episode focuses on the climactic war of 602–628 CE, known as the Last Great War of Antiquity. Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Khosrow II, his dramatic campaigns that saw Sassanid armies reach the Bosporus and seize Jerusalem and Egypt, and the legendary treasure of the True Cross. They also cover the Byzantine counteroffensive under Emperor Heraclius, the Battle of Nineveh (627 CE), and the peace treaty that restored the pre-war borders. But the war's true legacy was the devastating weakness it inflicted on both empires, opening the door for the Arab conquests just years later. Along the way, they touch on the political intrigue, religious tensions (including Zoroastrianism and Christianity), and the role of figures like Shahrbaraz and the Khazars. This episode tells the story of a war that reshaped the Middle East forever.
