Rom und der Orient
註釋Christian Marek, an internationally renowned expert on the ancient history of cultures east of the Mediterranean, presents a masterful, large, richly illustrated synthesis of his decades of research on Asia Minor, Syria and Arabia. He tells the prehistory of these regions of the world from the early advanced civilizations of the Orient to the spread of Hellenism, and describes Rome's conflicts with potentates such as Mithradates VI. and peoples such as Persians and Jews. He explains the institutions and techniques of Roman rule as well as the integration of Eastern cultures into a Roman world order. Finally, he traces the rise and victory of Christianity over other new religions in the eastern half of the Roman Empire to the eve of Islam.
