Representing the Dynasty in Flavian Rome: The Case of Josephus’ Jewish War
Vivid Representation and Victims of Forced Displacement in Jewish Literature in Greek
This article examines the portrayal of forced displacement in selected Greek-language Jewish prose texts. The selected narratives concern 1) the capture of slaves from Judea by Ptolemy I and their liberation by his son (Arist. 12-27); 2) Ptolemy IV’s forced mobilisation of Jews to the hippodrome of Schedia, near Alexandria (3 Macc. 4:4-11); and 3) Mary of Bethezuba, a refugee in Jerusalem during the Roman siege in 70 CE (Josephus, J.W. 6.199-219)…
Introduction: Mobility and Identity Formation in Ancient Judaism
This article introduces this special issue’s theme “Mobility and Identity Formation in Ancient Judaism” as well as the individual contributions it contains. We explore the appeal and significance of the theme of this special issue by looking at a range of ancient cultural imaginaries of human mobility and how these imaginaries have shaped ancient and modern understandings of the communities involved. We then situate this publication’s distinctive…
Travel and Hospitality in Josephus’ Representation of the Essene Community (Judean War 2.124–127) and Its Literary and Cultural Contexts
In his description of the Essenes in the Judean War , Josephus asserts that members of this group settled in many cities, and, in doing so, formed an interregional community with members travelling between and visiting each other in different places. Individual travellers, in turn, travel light because they can enjoy the hospitality of the host community in the cities which they visit ( War 2.124–127). How can we explain Josephus’ emphasis on the…
De 'andere' ander: Philo van Alexandrië over de Egyptenaren in zijn historische werken
Joodse intellectuelen in het Romeinse Rijk bevonden zich in een lastige positie. Ze schreven in het Grieks, maar waren onderdeel van een etnische minderheid waarover Grieken en Romeinen sterke vooroordelen hadden. Deze vooroordelen werden bovendien versterkt door een serie conflicten. Hoe dienden Joodse schrijvers zoals Philo van Alexandrië hun Griekse en Romeinse collega’s van repliek
Greek Writers and Philosophers in Philo and Josephus: A Study of Their Secular Education and Educational Ideals, written by Erkki Koskenniemi

Reading Josephus’ “Prophetic” Inspiration in the Cave of Jotapata (J.W. 3.351–354) in a Roman Context
This article offers a literary analysis of the famous episode in Judean War 3.351–354, in which Josephus suddenly recalls his “nightly dreams.” It takes up the question of how Josephus characterizes himself in this episode in consideration of an elite audience located in Rome steeped in Greco-Roman learning. In explaining this episode, scholars have put special emphasis on parallels with discourses of Judean prophecy and biblical prophets, such a…
Josephus Between Jerusalem and Rome: Cultural Brokerage and the Rhetoric of Emotion in the Bellum Judaicum (1.9–12)
This contribution aims to address the simple but far-reaching issue of the relationship between the Judaean and Graeco-Roman currents in Josephus’ Bellum Judaicum. It offers a new perspective on Josephus’ use of personal emotions in this work, in particular by looking at his outburst in BJ 1.9–12. It proposes to examine Josephus’ motivations for fashioning this passage in the way he did by (1) placing his compositional choices in their literary c…
