A proposito di questo titolo

After the Sassanid Empire fell to Arab Muslim armies in the 7th century, the ancient faith of Zoroastrianism faced slow decline in its Mesopotamian heartland. This episode traces the fate of the fire temples of Iraq through the early Islamic period, from the conquest of Ctesiphon in 637 CE to the gradual conversion of the population over centuries. We explore how Zoroastrian communities negotiated their place as dhimmis under Islamic rule, the legal debates over fire temples and marriage customs, and the last known inscriptions by Zoroastrian priests in the region. Lucas and Luna discuss the survival of the faith in the face of conversion pressures, the Arabization of names, and the final traces of Mazdaism in Iraq before it faded into history, leaving only archaeological remnants and a legacy of dualism that influenced later religions.
