A conflict that erupted between Roman legions and some Judaeans in
late AD 66 had an incalculable impact on Rome's physical appearance
and imperial governance; on ancient Jews bereft of their
mother-city and temple; and on early Christian fortunes. Historical
scholarship and cinema alike tend to see the conflict as the
culmination of long Jewish resistance to Roman oppression. In this
volume, Steven Mason re-examines the war in all relevant contexts
(such as the Parthian dimension, and Judaea's place in Roman Syria)
and phases, from the Hasmoneans to the fall of Masada. Mason
approaches each topic as a historical investigation, clarifying
problems that need to be solved, understanding the available
evidence, and considering scenarios that might explain the
evidence. The simplest reconstructions make the conflict more
humanly intelligible while casting doubt on received knowledge.
