The Rus Khaganate: Vikings on the Slavic Frontier
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the early Rus Khaganate, a shadowy Viking polity on the upper Volga and Dnieper rivers. They examine the controversial account of the Rus Khagan title used by early Scandinavian leaders, the influx of dirhams from the Abbasid Caliphate, and the founding of Staraya Ladoga. Discover how the Rus used silver-weighted arm rings with serpents and how the Primary Chronicle and Risala of Ibn Fadlan depict them. Contrast the Khaganate with the later Kievan Rus' state, and learn about the Przeworsk culture that preceded them. Also, a special listener support segment highlights how this ad-free show stays funded.
