The last, longest and most damaging of the wars fought between East
Rome and Sasanian Persia (603-628) brought the classical phase of
west Eurasian history to a dramatic close. Despite its evident
significance, not least as the distant setting for Muhammad's
prophetic mission, this last great war of antiquity attracted
comparatively little scholarly attention until the last decades of
the twentieth century. James Howard-Johnston's contributions to the
subject, most of which were published in out-of-the-way places
(one, that on al-Tabari, is printed for the first time), are
brought together in convenient form in this volume. They strive to
root history in close observation of landscape and monuments as
well as careful analysis of texts. They explore the evolving
balance of power between the two empires, look at events through
Roman, Armenian and Arab eyes, and home in on the climax of the
final conflict in the 620s.
