Description

Explore the Xiongnu Empire, history's first nomadic superpower, through this comprehensive Oxford University Press study. This scholarly work reexamines the sophisticated social and economic institutions of mobile pastoralists, tracing the Xiongnu from their emergence through the conflicts that tested them, the transformations that strengthened them, and their enduring legacy. Drawing on collective expertise, the book reveals how steppe herders' economic practices and social conventions formed the foundation for one of antiquity's most influential regimes, offering fresh perspectives on nomadic societies and their impact on early empire development.
