  • Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus

    Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus

    GRECO-ROMAN CULTURE AND THE GALILEE OF JESUS Greco-Roman Culture and the Galilee of Jesus, the first book- length investigation of this topic, challenges the conventional scholarly view that first-century Galilee was thoroughly Hel- lenized. Examining architecture, inscriptions, coins, and art from Alexander the Great’s conquest until the early fourth century CE, Chancey argues that the extent of Greco-Roman culture in the time of Jesus has often been greatly exaggerated. Antipas’s reign in the early first century was indeed a time of transition, but the more dramatic shifts in Galilee’s cultural climate happened in the second century, after the arrival of a large Roman garrison. Much of Galilee’s Hellenization should thus be understood within the context of its Romanization. Any attempt to understand the Galilean setting of Jesus must recognize the significance of the region’s historical develop- ment as well as how Galilee fits into the larger context of the Roman East. MARK CHANCEY is Assistant Professor in the Deparment of Religious Studies at Southern Methodist University, Dallas.

  • Land Transformation in Israel

    Land Transformation in Israel

    - ~~-~-U-.m --~-~ ~- ~--- Land Transformation in Agriculture Edited by M. G. Wolman and F. G. A. Fournier @ 1987 SCOPE. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd CHAPTER 8 Land Transformation in Israel D. H. K. AMIRAN 8.1 INTRODUCTION The countries around the Mediterranean have experienced far-reaching changes in land quality and land use. The centres of very early, highly developed civilizations of the western world were here. Together with their great achievements they brought about intensive use of the land-sometimes exceSSIveuse. The political changes that affected the area during a millennia of its history involved similar changes, for better or for worse, in husbanding of the land. Extensive areas of olive groves-famous since antiquity-fruit orchards and vineyards, many of them grown on carefully terraced slopes, indicate but some of the prominent achievements of mediterranean agriculture. By con- trast, periods of decline, being sometimes periods of depopulation, brought about very adverse effects, in particular abandonment of cultivated land and disrepair of the terraces. In consequence there was erosion of the soil, and downwash into the valleys of the lowland plains; there was excessive sedimen- tation in these valleys, choking the river and wadi beds, and sometimes followed by formation of swamps owing to lack of drainage; and not infre- quently malaria affected these swampy areas. This whole syndrome of land deterioration is illustrated in many mediterranean countries. A classic case is Israel of the nineteenth century. Israel showed some significant achievements in agriculture and land development in antiquity, and the deterioration is easy to follow in detail. Two factors bring about particu- larly significant effects of processes of land transformation.

    Map 69 Damascus-Caesarea Compiled by J.P

    Map 69 Damascus-Caesarea Compiled by J.P. Brown and E.M. Meyers (Israel), 1994 Introduction Jordan, Lebanon, Syria This is an area of much diversity. Coastal Sidon was well known to Homer; inland Gabitha, by contrast, first appears as the site of a great Moslem victory in A.D. 636. The snows of Hermon Mons overlook the parched deserts of Syria. The rift valley of Lebanon between its twin mountain ranges sinks to the R. Jordan far below sea level. The limestone of Libanus Mons has fossil fish which Eusebius took to be records of Noah’s flood; the great basalt tract of Trachon(itis) (modern Lejja) and its neighbors was deposited by lava flows from extinct volcanoes of Auranitis (modern Jebel Druze). The map marks some changes from current topography. Tyrus was an island until Alexander’s time; he joined it to the mainland by a mole, later silted up to form the modern peninsula. The southern valley (Koile Syria) of Lebanon was a swamp of uncertain extent (Kalamon Limne), where Theophrastus found aromatic rush and papyrus; its malarial waters were not drained until the fourteenth century A.D. The northwest of the map shows pockets of the Lebanese forest as delimited by Hadrian; see the text for Map 68. Knowledge of Syria came gradually to the Greek and Roman world. Herodotus records admirals of the Phoenician cities. Theophrastus had perhaps visited Damascus. Alexander made the coast well known. The campaign of Antiochus III in 219 B.C., as narrated by Polybius, brings detailed information about the Valley of Lebanon and Peraea; that of Judas in 163 B.C.
