Warwick Ball explores modern issues as well as ancient, and overturns conventional ideas about the spread of European culture to the East. Warwick Ball presents the story of Rome in the light of Rome's fascination with the Near East, generating new insights into the nature and character of Roman civilisation, and European identity from Rome to the present. This volume is an invaluable resource to students of the history of Rome and Europe, as well as those studying the Ancient Near East. Author of many other books on the history and archaeology of the region, Mr Ball now lives in Scotland.	./cache/books-google-com-792.html	./txt/books-google-com-792.txt
