They offer us glimpses of how certain Edessenes, especially Christians, experienced the impact of Roman imperialism at a critical juncture: the incremental integration of Osrhoene into the Roman provincial system. But they also provide insight into how Edessenes perceived the Iranian imperial powers to their east (Parthian and Sasanian) and to what extent they deemed the Roman empire to have features that distinguished it from other imperial states.
