Book excerpt: When Philip the Arab came to the Roman throne in the third century AD, the Empire, in the words of the sophist Nicarogas, was tossing as in a great storm or earthquake, and floundering like a ship being carried off to the ends of the Earth. The rise of Philip, an Arab of a peripheral tribe in Arabia, to the throne of the Ceasars in the millennium of the birth of the Roman Empire, was a momentous event in Islamic history. A man of intelligence and immense determination, he brought the ship under control and secured her at anchor.
