His stormy and war-torn reign is critical for understanding the background to fundamental changes in the Balkans and the Middle East, including the emergence of Islam, at the end of antiquity. He respectievely captured and recaptured important swathes of territory, including Jerusalem and Syria and Egypt. This is the first English-language synthesis of diverse primary sources in the light of recent historical scholarship."/><meta property="og:title" content="Heraclius, Emperor of Byzantium"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=tlNlFZ_7UhoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71Ao1Fyvw4sxre2bGi37Oy2QQlE5RTJ6pkc2a1o_kU46atDalR4N1Cx3sF6_AyScr8avpu2HqR5eMVvRDP6c5ON7fUkexLnsAsXKb4zjdiVC1aawG1ow7AdPReI0jA79TbPq3dw"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=tlNlFZ_7UhoC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71Ao1Fyvw4sxre2bGi37Oy2QQlE5RTJ6pkc2a1o_kU46atDalR4N1Cx3sF6_AyScr8avpu2HqR5eMVvRDP6c5ON7fUkexLnsAsXKb4zjdiVC1aawG1ow7AdPReI0jA79TbPq3dw"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DtlNlFZ_7UhoC%26printsec%3Dfrontcover%26vq%3DEmperor%2BMaurice%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=tlNlFZ_7UhoC&printsec=frontcover&vq=Emperor+Maurice&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.
