Description

Explore the historical complexities of Roman rule in the Near East with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. For over seven centuries, the Near East remained a significant part of the Roman Empire, yet the methods used by a Mediterranean power to maintain control over such a vast and distant territory have often been overlooked. Professor Isaac provides the first comprehensive treatment of the Roman military presence in this region. This book examines how the army presence impacted local provincial populations and how the Roman state responded to the unique challenges of the desert and its nomadic inhabitants. By utilizing both well-known and neglected historical sources, this text reassesses our understanding of ancient military strategy and provincial management. Ideal for students, historians, and readers interested in ancient history, this Clarendon Paperback offers deep insights into how an ancient empire managed its most distant frontiers. It addresses the fundamental questions of how Rome projected its power across diverse landscapes and maintained its borders against constant movement and environmental challenges.
