About this ebook
Byzantine Relations explores the fascinating and multifaceted interactions between the Byzantine Empire and the Middle East, a relationship shaped by trade, warfare, and diplomacy. The book highlights how the Byzantines skillfully navigated the complexities of dealing with their Middle Eastern neighbors for over a millennium, influencing the political, economic, and cultural evolution of both regions. Intriguingly, the Silk Road and Mediterranean sea lanes not only facilitated trade but also became points of contention as empires vied for control. The book adopts a holistic approach, examining both the grand strategies of emperors and the everyday interactions of merchants and soldiers. It argues that the empire's survival wasn't solely due to military might, but a combination of commercial acumen and diplomatic finesse.
Structured around the themes of commerce, conflict, and diplomacy, it progresses chronologically from late antiquity through the late medieval period, drawing from diverse primary sources, including chronicles and archaeological findings, to provide a nuanced understanding of this enduring historical dynamic.
