Rome And Jerusalem - The Clash Of Ancient Civilizations
Martin Goodman’s “Rome and Jerusalem - The Clash of Ancient Civilizations” is a fabulous dissection of two crucial centuries in Jewish history, providing an original account of the origins of anti-semitism and its reverberations to the present day. In AD 70, after a war which had flared sporadically for four years, three Roman legions under the future Emperors Vespasian and his son Titus, surrounded, laid siege to, and eventually devastated the city of Jerusalem, destroying completely the magnificent Temple which had been built by Herod only 80 years earlier. What brought about this extraordinary conflict, with its extraordinary consequences?This superb book, by one of the world’s leading scholars of the ancient Roman and Jewish worlds, narrates and explains this titanic
struggle, showing why Rome’s interests were served by this policy of brutal hostility, and how the first generation of Christians first distanced themselves from its Jewish origins and then became increasingly hostile to Jews as their influence spread within the empire.
