ARCHIVUM EURASIAE MEDII AEVI appears once a year.

The focus of the ARCHIVUM EURASIAE MEDII AEVI is on the European stepp-
es and adjoining regions from late antiquity to the Mongol empire and its successor
states. It concerns itself primarily with questions regarding Iranian steppe peoples,
the Huns, the Oghur and Bulghar Türkic peoples, the Sabirs, the Avars, the Khazars
and other peoples of the Türkic empire, the Hungarians, Pechenegs, Cumans and
peoples of the Mongol empire. The periodical will also touch on many points in the
history of the Slavic world, Byzantium, Iran, the Caucasus, the lands of Islam and
the peoples of Central and Northern Europe, as well as elucidate various questions
of Turkic and steppe history.
