Abstract
Lack of direct evidence on the functioning of factor markets in Sasanian/Late Antique Iraq makes it difficult to present a clear picture of the production side of economy during this period. However, relying on the Talmudic evidence, as well as what is mentioned in the Mādayān ī Hezār Dādestān (mhd), this article aims to provide an idea of factor markets during the Sasanian period, as well as demonstrating the areas where further evidence and research could render better results and allow us to understand the economy of this region in more depth.

Chegini and Nikitin 1996: 35-77 is a typical attempt at providing a summary, which lacks from the usual pitfalls of generalisation and relying on a limited set of data, although it does try to make good use of monumental architecture (which is the speciality of the authors). Better attempt is made by Gyselen 1997.
