Abstract
(p. 136) that the Church’s contribution was a loan. He badly distorts the inscription on Heraclius’ coins as the “provocative message” of “God has chosen the Romans [Byzantines]” (p. 71); it was actually a desperate cry:“God help the Romans!” One of Regan’s main arguments that Heraclius was a “crusader” is wildly anachronistic:“Five centuries after his great Persian campaigns Heraclius became part of the history of the crusades written by [the Western Crusader] William of Tyre” (p. 77).
