Art, History, and the Historiography of Judaism in Roman Antiquity
explores the complex interplay between visual culture, texts, and
their interpretations, arguing for an open-ended and self-aware
approach to understanding Jewish culture from the first century CE
through the rise of Islam. The essays assembled here range from the
"thick description" of Josephus's portrayal of Bezalel son of Uri
as a Roman architect through the inscriptions of the Dura Europos
synagogue, Jewish reflections on Caligula in color, the polychromy
of the Jerusalem temple, new-old approaches to the zodiac, and to
the Christian destruction of ancient synagogues. Taken together,
these essays suggest a humane approach to the history of the Jews
in an age of deep and long-lasting transitions-both in antiquity,
and in our own time. "Taken as a whole, Fine's book exhibits the
value of bridging disciplines. The historiographical segments
integrated throughout this volume offer essential insights that
will inform any student of Roman and late antiquity." Yael Wilfand,
Hebrew University, Review of Biblical Literature, 2014.
