5.0 out of 5 stars
Must read for Roman Syria lovers!
Dr. Kevin Butcher has simply outdone himself in this exploration of Roman Syria. Obviously he knows the period intimately, and this knowledge shows itself in the many important details in this book. Anyone who wants to know more about this intriguing and far-removed period would do well to buy this book. I'm glad I did! It reads almost like a novel!

Roman Syria and the Near East
I wanted an introduction to this period and Kevin Butcher certainly provides this. There is an immense scope to the work as it tries to cover many centuries of activity and the various interactions of numerous cultures and empires. My main complaint is that there is almost a complete lack of references. I am not a historian, but there are things that catch my attention...

I am not a historian, but there are things that catch my attention and I would really like to know where to go next if I want to dig deeper on a particular topic or verify an assertion by checking the original source.
