A form of "chronological revisionism" á la Velikovsky. Probably wrong, but it does raise some interesting questions about Rome and Byzantium.
The Romans did seem to have been strange, with an obsession with all things Oriental, from Greek mythology to Semitic and Egyptian deities. And, ahem, Christianity. Ex Oriente lux? Note also the curious origin story of Virgil...
Were the Romans renegade Etruscans, I wonder? And where did *does* guys come from?
Please disregard the French author´s pro-Nazi comments in the introduction. Note that the object of his admiration, chronological revisionist Gunnar Heinsohn, was a pro-Israeli German!
