Description: "Among Rome's allies in the East undoubtedly the most important was the tribe of Ghassan. In this book Yasmine Zahran recounts their story from the perspective of its principle rulers. It is a story of a people who played a role in the late Roman world every bit as important as the Franks, Goths and Lombards, but that is little known to modern Westerners, since they lived far from Europe's shores and, unlike these latter peoples, lacked their own historian."--Jacket.
