In Josephus, the Emperors, and the City of Rome William den Hollander places under the microscope the Judaean historian's own account of the latter part of his life, following his first encounters with the Romans. Episodes of Josephus' life, such as his embassy to Rome prior to the outbreak of the 1st Judaean Revolt, his prophetic pronouncement of Vespasian's imminent rise to the imperial throne, and his time in the Roman prisoner-of-war camp, are subjected to rigorous analysis and evaluated against the broader ancient evidence by the application of a vivid historical imagination. Den Hollander also explores at great length the relationships formed by Josephus with the Flavian emperors and other individuals of note within the Roman army camp and, later, in the city of Rome. He builds solidly on recent trends in Josephan research that emphasize Josephus' distance from the corridors of power.

The voluminous works of the Judaean historian Flavius Josephus have been and continue to be of tremendous importance for our understanding of the worlds in which he lived. For centuries his works have been thoroughly investigated by scholars in diverse fields. Until more recently, however, the Roman context in which Josephus lived as he wrote was rarely explored at length, despite the fact that it is indispensable for our knowledge and understanding of the man and the historian. Recent scholarship has, however, taken up the exploration of his interactions with his environment with enthusiasm, undermining longstanding conceptions regarding his relationship with the Roman world in the process. The present study builds on these current trends and considers particularly the social circumstances in which Josephus lived in Rome during the latter part of his life. By exploring the relationship between Josephus and each of the Flavian emperors-Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian-individually, this study seeks to explore the nature of these relationships more comprehensively than has been done in the past. This aim of comprehensiveness is achieved in part by beginning not with Josephus' arrival in Rome in AD 71, but with his first voyage to the imperial capital during the reign of Nero, and by considering also the contact between Josephus and the future Roman emperors within the Roman army camp in Judaea during the course of the 1st Judaean War. In the examination of these relationships, this study supports the increasing recognition in Josephan scholarship that the Judaean historian cannot justifiably be characterized as a 'Flavian lackey' or propagandist, a view that has not yet been fully accepted by non-Josephan scholars. Having established the possible parameters of his relationships with the imperial family, the study also explores the contact between Josephus and other inhabitants of Rome, including the Herodian princes and the patron of his final works, the freedman Epaphroditus, in an attempt to determine as clearly as possible the social circles in which he functioned as he lived out the final years of his life in the city of Rome.

"There are seventy-seven who have the ear of the world, and I am one of them." This was no idle boast on the part of Flavius Josephus, and, in the days the Roman Empire's greatness, it was no small achievement. It had not, however, been an easy task for the Jewish historian to make his way as a Roman and a Jew, and in the years to come it was to be yet more difficult. Christianity was emerging for the first time as a world idea. The conflict between the forces of nationalism and world citizenship was of growing importance then as today. Josephus' heartbreaking role in this struggle has a poignant modernity. With all the ambiguity of his character, his work, his destiny, a participant fighting and suffering in the great events of the period, he is more than a man of importance---he becomes a symbol of his age. Lion Feuchtwanger's second volume of the "Josephus" trilogy takes up the story of Josephus at the time when he had become a power in Rome, and Rome was determined to be the only power in the world. Through the novelist's eyes the reader relives the dramatic events of Titus's reign---the Fire, the Plague, the visit from Judea of the exotic and exquisite princess Berenice. He travels with Joseph to Judea, sits in the councils of the Jewish fathers in the days of their great sorrow, searches for information about a certain prophet said to have been crucified at Jerusalem. Thus he is sharing in the strange spectacle of a new faith coming to birth. Feuchtwanger paints his hero against the background of great historical events, against the background of an era that more than almost any other was adventurous and colorful and profoundly stirred by the eternally crucial questions of the destiny of human civilization. "The Jew of Rome" is a magnificent panorama of a brilliant age, and a moving portrait of a man whose essential honesty and clear reason made of him a wanderer through the world and a singular historian in the annals of humanity.

In both Bellum Judaicum and the Vita, an appendix to Antiquitates Judaicae, Josephus deals with his own role in the war. Although both works have apologetic aims, Josephus changes his story from one work to the next. By viewing these two works in the greater context of Josephus's life and not in isolation from each other, Cohen traces Josephus's development as a historian, as an apologist, and as a Jew. --from publisher description

Professor Tessa Rajak investigates various aspects of Josephus's life and thought in an effort to place him in the context of the Jerusalem high priestly aristocracy in which he grew up. She not only studies his judgments on the Jewish revolt against Rome, particularly their social and political aspects, but also explores the cultural and literary contexts of his writings. She underscores the consistency in Josephus's different version of his conduct, suggesting how each account reveals several renderings of what occurred. Furthermore, she believes that the influence of Roman imperial patronage upon Josephus's work is much less significant than historians suppose. Finally, she contends that Josephus was essentially a Jewish writer.
