@nonregemesse The last chapter is an English summary and I’ve published several related papers in English. But no English translation of the full book.

Christine Strube, one of the most eminent Byz archeologists, has published a memoir-style, open access account of her work in Syria (ger/engl) - even more timely now that many of the sites she worked on suffered destruction.

I highly recommend reading Christine Strube’s account of her life's work in Syria! Besides plenty of suspense (like her travelling through war-torn Beirut or spending the night in a Syrian prison!) it focuses on her studies in the Limestone Massif and the excavations at Andarin.
@sasanianshah ... it would be interesting to think about how Khosrow would have framed his attempt to conquer if it had gone against Maurice or Theodosius.
So here’s a counterfactual re the events of 602:
Revolt of the Balkan army escalating in the overthrow of Maurice and the coronation of Phocas.
WHAT IF Maurice had managed to appease the soldiers by letting his son and co-Augustus Theodosius take over to avoid regime change?
