W. Bowersock presents a searching examination of political developments in the Arabian Peninsula on the eve of the rise of Islam. Recounting the growth of Christian Ethiopia and the conflict with Jewish Arabia, he describes the fall of Jerusalem at the hands of a late resurgent Sassanian (Persian) Empire. He concludes by underscoring the importance of the Byzantine Empires defeat of the Sassanian forces, which destabilized the region and thus provided the opportunity for the rise and military success of Islam in the seventh century. Using close readings of surviving texts, Bowersock sheds new light on the complex causal relationships among the Byzantine, Ethiopian, Persian, and emerging Islamic forces.</p>...4110250Empires in Collision in Late Antiquity259360https://www.gandhi.com.mx/empires-in-collision-in-late-antiquity-9781611683226/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2853157/71d5ed34-6260-4353-9822-599959bf6951.jpg?v=638384540434330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20129781611683226_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9781611683226_<p>In this book, based on lectures delivered at the Historical Society of Israel, the famed historian G.
