Perhaps no major city in Western history has had so little commercial and economic importance as has ancient, medieval and modern Rome... (William I. Davisson and James E. Harper.) Also, "From the time Rome became an Imperial city until today she has been a parasite city, living on gifts, rents, taxes, tribute. That does not make Rome any less a city, only a different kind of city from Genoa." (Sir Moses I. Finley)

Note: David Rohl in his book A Test of Time (Century, 1995) postulates wild divergences in the conventionally-accepted dates of Egyptian dynasties from the Second Millennium BC onwards. He suggests that some dates are up to 200-300 years out of phase. Historians give his views little support. Rohl gives a date of about 1450BC for the Exodus.
