Culture of Prosperity

Medieval Muslims imagined themselves as scholarly warriors, poets, and philosophers, knights, and cavaliers. This elite culture and the way it filtered down to the masses, is what made this period of Baghdad so exciting. In this episode we explore the culture of chivalry and the ideal household as the basic foundation of Abbasid culture and society. From the art of horsemanship to the ethos of the powerful, we’ll find out what makes Baghdad so unique.
