"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.

Joseph ben Matthias, Judæan aristocrat and Jerusalem Temple priest of the first rank, steps out into the boundless, magnificent city of Rome. He's clever, handsome, fêted by his Jewish hosts, and on a righteous mission to free three venerable old Jews wrongfully imprisoned as rebels. Joseph secures an audience with Nero's beautiful young Empress, Poppæa. Charmed by Joseph's zeal, she asks the Minister of Oriental Affairs to release the prisoners. The Minister seizes the opportunity to trade his assent for an edict guaranteed to outrage and mobilize the Jews of Judæa; Rome needs an excuse to comprehensively crush ongoing Jewish resistance. His scheme bears fruit. In the year 66 Judæa revolts. Led by canny old commander Vespasian, Roman forces prevail until only the fortified city of Jerusalem remains in the hands of Jewish rebels. Vespasian is acclaimed Emperor and returns to Rome, leaving the siege to his son Titus. Weeks drag by. Jerusalem, with its lofty, magnificent Temple, becomes to the besieging Romans a symbol of obdurate Jewish arrogance to be overthrown. Rebel commander, Roman captive and Flavian protégé, Josephus, long reviled as a traitor and Roman toady, is portrayed by Feuchtwanger with clear-eyed empathy as a complex, brilliant man whose desire to become a "citizen of the world" conflicts with his Jewish identity. It was Joseph's destiny, however, to become a fierce defender in Rome of the unique importance of Jewish contribution to humanity, and to become known as the first-century historian Flavius Josephus and the author of "The Jewish War."

This superb, illustrated history reveals Rome's conquest and rule over Israel and Judea, and how the Roman occupation deeply influenced the culture, law and religious establishment of the Jews. Spanning about 300 years, from the mid-2nd century BC to the mid-2nd century AD, William Morrison's investigation is thorough. Elements of this history is sociological; rigorous examinations of the social classes and composition of the Jewish society before and during the Roman conquest are central to the author's explanations. While other histories of this hotly-debated place of human history become bogged down in minutiae or conflicting sources, Morrison consistently strives to deliver a cohesive vision of ancient Israel and Palestine, of power structures military and religious. Roman policy towards conquered peoples are detailed; these were specially adopted and compromised for the region of Israel after a series of bloody conflicts. The strong presence of an ancient and distinctive monotheistic religion - Judaism - led the Romans to cooperate with the priesthood. Where other peoples had their spiritual traditions destroyed or suppressed, the Jewish temple was permitted to remain. However, the laws in Judea changed along with its overarching culture, especially once trade and migrations ensued between the locality and the wider Empire. Accompanied with some 45 illustrations, maps and photographs, Morrison's history of Israel under Roman occupation remains a valuable work and a worthy read.

Feuchtwanger has been called, largely because of his story of Flavius Josephus, one of the greatest historical novelists of all time. The book begins with Josephus, aged 50, living in retirement in Rome and ends with his death in Galilee during the bloody uprising of the Jews against their Roman conquerors. In the present volume, "The Emperor and His Jew," the earlier young and ambitious emissary of Judea to the court of Nero (in "The Judean War") and the militant writer who held the ear of Titus (in "The Jew of Rome") has reached the fullness of years and wisdom. Now he engages in the subtlest and in many ways the most dangerous period of his career. In the East the Jewish fanatics were challenging the might of Rome; and everywhere, even in the family of the Emperor, the Christians were exerting a passive but disturbing force. The time had come for all men to take their stand, and Josephus, who had thought to live and die both a Roman and a defender of the Jewish perspective and cause, was forced to make a choice. This situation intensifies the deep personal conflict in the mind of Josephus, and in this book Feuchtwanger attempts to analyze Josephus' mind and to find motives for his apparently paradoxical actions and views. In its detail, the "Josephus" trilogy's final work leads the reader through the utterly fascinating daily life of Roman society. At the court of Domitian, in the apartments of the beautiful Empress, Lucia, in the Senate, and in the homes of the financial and intellectual leaders of Rome, Feuchtwanger walks with the ease and confidence of a man born to the toga. It was Josephus's fate to be feared and hated by three of the most powerful men in the world and to survive them all. His life was beset by the ambiguity of his intellect; his death was glorified by the clear simplicity of his faith.
