Representing the Dynasty in Flavian Rome

The Case of Josephus' Jewish War

Beschreibung

This work is a re-examination of the political dimensions of the Jewish War of Flavius Josephus. It offers a significant new reading of a text vital to understanding both Roman and Jewish history in this period, and illuminates important questions about "free speech" and "censorship" in the increasingly autocratic culture of Early Imperial Rome.
