Informazioni sul libro
Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian, best known for The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews. He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian after the six-week siege of Jotapata.Josephus's works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine, and provide a significant and independent extra-Biblical account of such figures as Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great, John the Baptist, James the Just, and possibly Jesus of Nazareth.The works of Josephus include useful material for historians about individuals, groups, customs, and geographical places.Contents: The TranslationsWar of the JewsAntiquities of the JewsAgainst ApioLife of Flavius JosephusDiscourse to the Greeks Concerning HadesThe Greek Texts
