{"product_id":"rome-and-the-arabs-before-greg-fisher-9781482311457","title":"Rome and the Arabs Before the Rise of Islam: A Brief Introduction","description":"In this book, historian Dr. Greg Fisher discusses the relationship between the Roman Empire and its Arab allies in the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries. He examines the political and military alliances between the two groups and the role of Christianity in creating shared allegiances and loyalty. He also analyses the role of language and culture in building 'identity' for the Arabs before the emergence of Islam. The book also considers the relationship between the Empire of Sasanian Iran and its own Arab allies at al-Hirah in Iraq, and the role played by the kingdoms of Himyar (Yemen), and Axum (Ethiopia), in the wider world of superpower competition in the dying days of Rome's Middle Eastern empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1482311453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482311457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.32d","brand":"Greg Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989892890879,"sku":"9781482311457","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0403f4d3-1a3a-4376-b3e2-5a4c06ccdbe5.jpg?v=1683301930","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rome-and-the-arabs-before-greg-fisher-9781482311457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
