Internationales Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg
This workshop explored the theme of roads and travellers in ancient Iran, particularly in
highland regions. The focus was traveller-oriented, paying full attention to the experience
of journeying, from biographical, social, cultural, economic, and administrative perspectives.
We encouraged papers that offer new insights into the various usage of these roads, as well as
the purposes and lives of those who travelled along them.
