Anastasian War

Years: 502 - 506

The Anastasian War is fought from 502 to 506 between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Sassanid Empire.

It is the first major conflict between the two powers since 440, and is the prelude to a long series of destructive conflicts between the two empires over the next century.

"History should be taught as the rise of civilization, and not as the history of this nation or that. It should be taught from the point of view of mankind as a whole, and not with undue emphasis on one's own country. Children should learn that every country has committed crimes and that most crimes were blunders. They should learn how mass hysteria can drive a whole nation into folly and into persecution of the few who are not swept away by the prevailing madness."

—Bertrand Russell, On Education (1926)
