The War of the Three Gods Romans, Persians and the Rise of Islam

---

The immense historical importance of the seventh century CE is much overlooked. It is in the period following the fifth-century collapse of the Western Roman Empire that is glossed over as the ‘Dark Ages’. This is most definitely a misnomer for not only was this period not all that dark in Western Europe, the geographical limiter of the term, such cultural darkness certainly did not extend to the east. Despite some ups and downs, the Roman Empire was still the dominant force in the Mediterranean, while her most enduring foe, the Persian Empire of the Sassanids, continued to challenge her in the Middle East. However, that does not mean that the seventh century was not a time of great change for the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The first three decades might have started out like previous centuries with the Romans and Persians playing out another episode in the centuries-long east-west military dance that could trace its origins back to the conquests of Alexander the Great and even before. However, this would be a markedly different conflict and, as Fate would have it, this latest chapter of the Romano-Persian conflict would not only be the bloodiest, it would also be the last.
