<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3394717, member: 82616&quot;]I agree with most of the works cited above, but for me Flavius Josephus is highly overlooked by both Greek and Roman historians. It&#039;s a shame his work seems to be relegated to the confines of biblical scholarship. Josephus, a Roman Jew living in the First century, wrote in Greek about the (Roman) history of his times - the Jewish War, the Year of the Four emperors, Masada, etc. He is a wealth of information for Roman historians and biblical scholars alike. There are not too many surviving texts the depict Roman warfare in such detail!</p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately, Josephus&#039; rehabilitation as a source for classical scholarship has begun: see <i>Flavius Josephus and Flavian Rome </i>by Edmondson, Mason, and Rives as a recent example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
