abstract
This volume of the "Eurasiatica" series brings together articles devoted to Armenia, the Caucasus and Central Asia, reflecting some of the lines of research on these areas carried out in recent years by Italian scholars from various scientific fields. The volume thus contains studies of an archaeological, philological, literary, socio-economic and political nature that signal the growing interest of Italian research in these regions, characterised as much by a historical-cultural tradition of great antiquity and richness as by an ever-increasing relevance in contemporary political balances.
