The Roman frontier with Persia in north-eastern Mesopotamia delves into the Roman city of Singara and the fortifications and roads in its surrounding area. Due to the challenging access for scholars, the physical frontier between Rome and Persia has received limited scholarly attention. In contrast to other parts of the Roman 'limes, this frontier held immense significance as it divided the two major civilizations of the early first millennium CE. While the frontier extended north to Armenia and the Black Sea, north-east Mesopotamia remained the primary focal point of confrontations for extended periods.
After providing a brief overview of the history of north-east Mesopotamia and its significance as the backdrop for repeated clashes between the two empires, the book concentrates on Singara, its fortifications, and the surrounding frontier zone. Singara was one of the key strongholds on the Roman frontier as it existed until 363 CE. The volume then explores the ancient road network surrounding Singara, its connections to Nisibis and the Khabur valley to the west. It utilizes old aerial photographs and satellite imagery to depict fortifications, roads, and associated sites, particularly those mentioned in the Peutinger Table. A concluding chapter examines the nature of the frontier in this region.
