Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In recent years, exciting new discoveries of inscriptions andarchaeological remains on the Arabian Peninsula have led to are-evaluation of the peoples on the Arabian frontier, which throughtheir extensive contacts with Rome and Persia are now seen as dynamicparticipants in the Late Antique world. The present volume contributesto this recent trend by focusing on the contrast between the 'outside'sources on the peoples of the frontier - the Roman view - and the'inside' sources, that is, the precious material produced by the Arabsthemselves, and by approaching these sources within an anthropologicalframework of how peripheral peoples face larger powers. For the firsttime, the situation on the Arabian frontier is also compared with thaton the southern Egyptian frontier, where similar sources have been foundof peoples such as the Blemmyes and Noubades.
