For the English rugby union team, see Saracens F.C. The term Saracen comes from Greek sarakenoi, which is itself derived from the Arabic word شرقيين sharqiyyin ("easterners").
In older Western historical literature, the term "Saracen Empire" was often used to refer to the Arab Caliphate under the rule of the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties.

Saracen is the latin (wedge serif) member of The Proteus Project, a collection of four interchangeable type families designed in different nineteenth century styles.
It is mysterious that typefounders of the Industrial Revolution who sought the extreme and fanciful in their work — exploring all manner of serif treatments, and creating extra-condensed and super-expanded designs — never made a latin font of this rather obvious proportion.
As a member of The Proteus Project, Saracen is interchangeable with the Ziggurat, Leviathan, and Acropolis typefaces.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SARACEN - Red Sky
Well, at least I already know the name SARACEN, as I’ve often been stumbling across the “Heroes, Saints And Fools” EP, which is said to be an absolute classic after all, for years already.
SARACEN are so emotional, so powerful they should certainly have the status of a classic.
But SARACEN aren’t limited to 3-minute radio songs by any means, the tunes have an optimum of melodies, hooks and choirs, but they always meander and allow skilful twists and breaks, so that you are literally excited to see what may still come.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SARACEN - Red Sky
Habe ich durch Zufall bei einem Kumpel gesehen, der wusste selbst nicht was SARACEN ist, da sie ihm ein weiterer Kollege gebrannt hatte.
SARACEN sind so emotional, so gewaltig, dass ihnen Klassikerstatus gewiss sein sollte.
Aber SARACEN sind keinesfalls auf 3 Minuten Radiosongs festgelegt, die Stücke haben zwar ein Optimum an Melodien, Hooks und Chören, ufern aber immer aus und lassen geschickte Wendungen und Breaks zu, dass man förmlich darauf gespannt ist, was da noch kommen mag.

This can be seen when in 1896 Messers Treadway and Percy owned the brewery and 'The Saracen's Head' was the licence office for the brewery.
The pub has been described as "more of a poor gin shop than a beer house", however there is still little doubt that the "gin shop" did exceedingly well because Soham has never lacked in places to enjoy a pint of beer.
People still talk of 'The Saracen's Head', and that surely must prove the pub's eminence in the locality.
