GEÇ ANTİK ÇAĞ’DA İPEK YOLU

Eski Çağ tarih yazımında yeni bir dönemlendirme olarak MS II. yüzyılın sonlarından başlayıp VIII. yüzyılın sonlarına kadar olan dönem “Geç Antik Çağ” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Geç Antik Çağ kavramını akademik bir disipline dönüştüren isim tartışmasız Peter Brown olmuştur. Bu dönemde batı dünyası ve Akdeniz’in doğusunda dinî, siyasi, toplumsal ve ekonomik olarak köklü değişimler meydana gelmiştir. Bu süreç içinde batı ve doğu arasında siyasi, sosyo-kültürel ve ekonomik etkileşimin en göze çarpan aracısı tarihî İpek Yolu olmuştur. Toplumlar arası etkileşim bilindiği üzere üç yol ile gerçekleşmektedir; savaş, göç ve ticaret. İpek Yolu, bir ticaret yolu olarak görülse de aslında çok daha fazlası olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu yol vasıtasıyla sadece ticaret metaları değil ayrıca inançlar da taşınmıştır. İpek Yolu toplumlar arasında hâkim gücün bir sembolü hâline gelmiştir. Peter Brown, bu yolun Geç Antik Çağ içindeki gelişimini ve o dünyadaki etkisini yeni fikirlerin, yeni dinî güçlerin ve yeni ufukların da etkisi altında gözler önüne sermektedir.

THE SILK ROAD IN LATE ANTIQUITY

As a new period in ancient historiography, the period starting from the end of the II century AD until the end of the VIII century is defined as “Late Antiquity”. The name that transformed the concept of late antiquity into an academic discipline has arguably been Peter Brown. During this period, fundamental religious, political, social and economic changes occurred in the western world and in the east of the Mediterranean. During this period, the most prominent mediator of the political, socio-cultural and economic interaction between west and east has been the historical Silk Road. As it is known, interaction between societies takes place in three ways; war, immigration and trade. Although the Silk Road is seen as a trade route, it is actually much more. Not only commodities but also beliefs were transported. The Silk Road has become a symbol of the dominant power among societies.Peter Brown demonstrates the development of this road in Late Antiquity and its impact on this world under the influence of new ideas, new religious forces and new horizons.
