DESCRIPTION:The final lecture in the Rostovtzeff series takes the audi
 ence along the Steppe Roads from China to Mongolia to investigate anot
 her recently discovered tomb and epitaph. The history of Mongolia is l
 ittle known between the First Türk (552–630) and Second Türk (682â
 €“742) Empires. Chinese historical records claim that the Tang Dynasty
  exerted suzerainty over Mongolia during the interregnum through vassa
 l rulers\, but offer few details after 660. Likewise\, Uighur Empire (
 744-840) inscriptions assert an earlier period of rule over Mongolia i
 n alliance with the Tang. The recent excavation of Pugu Yitu’s tomb 
 and Chinese-language epitaph shows that an alliance endured through th
 e 670s and throws new light on cultural connections between China and 
 Mongolia.
