520 1 $a"This wide-ranging book explores seven hundred years of Roman rule in the Near East, from annexation by Pompey the Great in 64 BC to the Muslim conquest in the seventh century AD. The author outlines Syria's pivotal role in the history of the Roman empire and assesses the conflicts with its two powerful eastern neighbours, the Parthians and the Sasanians. He brings together many disparate sources of evidence, including the findings of recent excavations, to show the consequences of Roman rule on the provinces, 'client' kingdoms and city-states: the development of an infrastructure, the impact on calendars and the economy, the exploitation of resources, the adoption of Christianity and the role of the army. Equally significant are regional and local responses, from art to public architecture, cult activities and codes of dress."--BOOK JACKET.
