Contested Kingship in Late Hellenistic Judea
This article explores local conceptions of kingship in Judea during the late Hellenistic period through a poetic text found at Qumran that refers to “King Jonathan” (4Q448). While scholars generally identify this figure as a Hasmonean ruler, the text’s stance toward the dynasty and its royal office remains debated. To shed new light on this question, the article analyzes the text in relation to encomiastic poetry traditionally associated with cou…

Empires and kingship are long-standing topics of research in ancient Near Eastern studies; the study of queenship has gradually received more attention over recent decades.

Moreover, the lack of a high priest, integral to the mainte…

The nucleus of society is situated at the local level: in the village, the neighborhood, the city district. This is where a community first develops collective rules that are intended to ensure its continued existence. The contributors look at such configurations in geographical areas and time periods that lie outside of the modern Western world with its particular development of society and statehood: in Antiquity and in the Global South of the …
