1 See Fig. 20 on p. 109. THE LANDSMAN'S POINT OF VIEW 115 The Roman Empire was, in fact, in the large sense, a local Empire; it belonged wholly to the Atlantic Coastland. The further provinces which had been under the Macedonian sway fell in Roman times to the Parthians, successors of the Persians, who in their turn descended from Iran upon Mesopotamia. Once more came the opportunity of the camel- men. Inspired by the preaching of Mohammed, the Arabs of the central oasis of Nejd, and of its wes...tern extension in the Hedjaz of Mecca and Medina, sent forth the Saracen armies, who drove the Parthians from Mesopotamia, and the Romans from Syria and Egypt, and estab- lished a chain of inland Capitals — Cairo, Da- mascus, and Bagdad — in the ancient trackway of fertility. From this fertile base the Saracen power was carried into all the regions around in such manner as to make a bid for a truly World- Empire. Northeastward the Mohammedans as- cended from Bagdad into Iran by the same passway which had guided the Parthians and Persians downward, and they spread even into Northern India.
