Sheba, or Saba, is a region of high mountains and vast deserts
situated in the southwest of the Arabian peninsula, in what is
known today as Yemen. The mysteries and riches of Sheba and its
people enticed the likes of Alexander the Great, the Emperor
Augustus, and the kings of Ethiopia and Byzantium. From the eighth
century to the first century B.C., the kingdom of Sheba dominated
other realms in Southern Arabia, imposing its language,
institutions, and artistic forms throughout the region.
In Arabia Felix from the Time of the Queen of Sheba,
Jean-Francois Breton provides a detailed synthesis of this remote
civilization, the uniqueness of the region's geography and climate,
and the major events that shaped its history. He offers valuable
insights into the Sabeans' daily life, their customs and religion,
their relations with neighboring civilizations, and their modes of
commerce.
