The Roman World from Romulus to Muhammad by Greg Fisher

The Roman World from Romulus to Muhammad by Greg Fisher

This volume provides a detailed examination of nearly 1,400 years of Roman history, from the foundation of the city in the eighth century BC until the evacuation of Roman troops from Alexandria in AD 642 in the face of the Arab conquests.

"Fisher..deserves great credit for having broken down the wall between Roman history, wrongly perceived as just the history of Greeks and Romans, and the history of all the peoples east of the empire, included the Arabs. Fisher thus masterfully succeeds in highlighting the universal rule that from the ashes of one empire, another is born." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"Though chapters follow a recognisably standard periodisation of Roman history, F. makes some distinctive choices within this framework...these choices underscore F.’s dynamic reorientation of the Roman Empire eastwards, and this makes for a provocative reframing of the evolution of Roman imperial power at the intersection of complex global networks." - The Classical Review
