description	The partition of the Armenian Kingdom between the romans and the sasanians at the end of IV A.D. guaranteed to the government of the Shahanshah the administration of his oriental regions. To assure the control of such dominion, the Persian sovereign advanced with the administrative integration of that regions. The solution implemented was based in the appointment of a series of marzbans (military commanders) in charge of the defense and administration of the Persian Armenia. Those dignitaries always find themselves in a delicate situation. In a political level, thanks to the frontier reality of the territories under their control. To the treat of the roman power, added the recurrent demands of the local elites integrated by diverse Naxarar, tough’s defenders of the privileges of their strata so much as about his Christian faith. To that, added the pressures emanated from the court in Ctesiphon. Although such challenges, the marzbans where been capable of sustain the control of the region until the sinking of the dynastic authority after the end of the last romano-sassanid war (602-628) and the immediate muslin invasion. To try an approximation to the reasons of such stability, in relation to the capacity in the management of the territory by the royal functionaries, we will advance here with a study of the remains the practices of government, management and war of the sasanian marzbans present in historic work attributed to Sebeos. The object of such exercise is to collaborate to the comprehension of the motives whereby was possible to sustain the north occidental frontier of the sassanid kingdom in front of the roman challenge and the complex relations between the royal functionaries and the members of the local elites during the last centuries of Antiquity.

La partición del reino armenio entre romanos y sasánidas a finales del siglo IV de nuestra era, garantizó al gobierno del Shahanshah la administración sus regiones orientales. Para asegurar el control de tales dominios, el soberano persa avanzó con la integración administrativa de aquellas regiones. La solución implementada de basó en el nombramiento de una serie de marzbanes (comandantes militares) a cargo de la defensa y administración de la Persarmenia sasánida. Estos dignatarios se encontraban siempre en una situación delicada. A nivel político, gracias a la realidad fronteriza de los territorios bajo su control. A la amenaza del poderío romano se sumaban los recurrentes planteos de la elite local integrada por diversos Naxarar, tozudos defensores tanto de sus privilegios estamentales como de su fe cristiana. A ello se sumaban las presiones provenientes desde la corte en Ctesifonte. Pese a tales desafíos, los marzbanes fueron capaces de sostener el control de la región hasta el hundimiento de la autoridad dinástica luego del fin de la última guerra romano-sasánida (602-628 d.C.) y la inmediata expansión musulmana. Para intentar una aproximación a las razones de tal estabilidad en relación con la capacidad de gestión del territorio por parte de los dignatarios reales, se avanzará aquí con un estudio de los vestigios de las prácticas de gobierno, gestión y guerra de los marzbanes sasánidas presentes en la obra histórica atribuida a Sebeos. El objeto de tal ejercicio de análisis es colaborar a la comprensión de los motivos por los cuales fue posible el sostenimiento de la frontera noroccidental del reino sasánida frente al intermitente desafío romano y las complejas relaciones entre los funcionarios reales y los integrantes de las elites locales durante los últimos siglos de la Antigüedad. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/AcHAM/article/view/3625 10.34096/aciham.v12.3625 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/AcHAM/article/view/3625/3313 Actas y comunicaciones del Instituto de Historia Antigua y Medieval; Vol. 12: (2016-2017); 27-39 1669-7286 Marzban Naxarar Sebeos Reino Sasánida Antigüedad Tardía Marzban Naxarar Sebeos Sassanid Kingdom Late Antiquity Persarmenia in Late Antiquity: Sasanian Marzbans and local elites in the history atributed to Sebeos Persarmenia en la Antigüedad Tardía: los Marzbanes Sasánidas y las elites locales en la historia atribuida Sebeos info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=medieval&d=3625_oai
