  • Iudaea Capta Vs. Mother Zion: the Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra

    Iudaea Capta Vs. Mother Zion: the Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra

    Journal for the Study of Judaism 49 (2018) 498-550 Journal for the Study of Judaism brill.com/jsj Iudaea Capta vs. Mother Zion: The Flavian Discourse on Judaeans and Its Delegitimation in 4 Ezra G. Anthony Keddie1 Assistant Professor, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada [email protected] Abstract This study proposes that the empire-wide Iudaea capta discourse should be viewed as a motivating pressure on the author of 4 Ezra. The discourse focused on Iudaea capta, Judaea captured, was pervasive across the Roman empire following the First Revolt. Though initiated by the Flavians, it became misrecognized across the Mediterranean and was expressed in a range of media. In this article, I examine the diverse evidence for this discourse and demonstrate that it not only cast Judaeans as barbaric enemies of Rome using a common set of symbols, but also attributed responsibility for a minor provincial revolt to a transregional ethnos/gens. One of the most distinctive symbols of this discourse was a personification of Judaea as a mourning woman. I argue that 4 Ezra delegitimates this Iudaea capta discourse, with its mourning woman, through the counter-image of a Mother Zion figure who transforms into the eschatological city. Keywords Iudaea capta/Judaea capta − Flavian dynasty − 4 Ezra − Roman iconography − Jewish-Roman relations − Mother Zion − apocalyptic discourse − First Jewish Revolt 1 I would like to thank Steven Friesen and L. Michael White for their helpful feedback and insightful suggestions on earlier versions of this study. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2018 | doi:10.1163/15700631-12494235Downloaded from Brill.com10/06/2021 11:31:49PM via free access Iudaea Capta vs.

    FALL / WINTER 2019 J with Hopkins SalesUNIVERSITY Partners PRESS I have been involved in the Association of University Presses since my fi rst job as a marketing assistant in scholarly publishing in the early 1980s. Therefore, it has been easy for me to take for granted the willingness of my university press colleagues to share information at the AUPresses Annual Meeting and, once the internet was invented, to continue conversations online all year long. And so, many of you will not be surprised by how excited we are to introduce a collaborative new entity called Hopkins Sales Partners. By pooling our resources and building scale, we know that university presses can be more successful in meeting our missions to disseminate knowledge far and wide and be fi nancially responsible in the process. Building new sales opportunities together with our sister presses seemed only natural to us here at JHUP. Barbara Kline Pope circa 1990. We welcome Wesleyan University Press, Northeastern University Press, Family Development Press, University of New Orleans Press, and Central European University Press to Hopkins Sales Partners and invite you to discover their exceptional books on pages 90–107. I hope that as you explore the books from our partner presses and from our own Johns Hopkins University Press you will fi nd our collective o erings remarkable and inspiring.

EERDMANS PUBLISHING COMPANY GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN PREFACE. __________ With this volume, we begin the Works of St. Chrysostom. It contains a sketch of his life and labors, the book on the priesthood, the letters to Theodore, the catechetical instructions, and a selection of ascetic treatises, special homilies, letters to Olympias and Innocent, and the twenty-one Homilies on the Statues. The translations are entirely new, or thoroughly revised, by the Rev. W. R. W. Stephens, whose services I was so fortunate as to secure. He has written the best biography of St. Chrysostom and is thoroughly at home in his writings. He has taken great pains, with the aid of two friends, the Rev. T. P. Brandram and Rev. R. Blackburn, and is responsible for the whole volume, with the exception of the Prolegomena, which I wrote myself, to correspond with the Prolegomena to the works of St. Augustin. The other volumes of St. Chrysostom in this series will be devoted to his exegetical Homilies on the greater part of the New Testament. Philip Schaff. New York, March, 1889.

    A Brief Outline of Things to Come Compiled by Theodore H. Epp Copyright @ 1952 Moody Bible Institute Chicago Chapter Seven - REWARDS - Norman H. Camp "Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour" (1 Corinthians 3:8). "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Revelation 22:12). REWARDS ARE GIVEN for faithful service. Parents reward their children, teachers reward their scholars, and masters reward their servants to encourage and stimulate them in their labors and to express appreciation of the work done. Sometimes rewards are promised in advance, and sometimes they are given as a surprise; but they are based upon the services rendered or the sacrifices made. The character of a reward generally depends upon the generosity and the ability of the one who bestows it. Rewards differ from gifts. A gift is an expression of love and can never be claimed. A reward is bestowed because of labor performed and can always be claimed, if promised. Salvation is a gift; it can never be merited. It is bestowed by grace upon those who confess themselves to be unworthy sinners and receive the Son of GOD as their personal Saviour. Salvation is not a reward for good works, as some seem to think. "For by grace [unmerited favor] are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). But rewards are promised by GOD to those who are saved by grace, and they are given according to the Christians' works after they are saved.

    Literary Interactions, AD 96– 138

    CJ-Online, 2019.02.02 BOOK REVIEW Roman Literature under Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian: Literary Interactions, AD 96– 138. By ALICE KÖNIG and CHRISTOPHER WHITTON, eds. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2018. Pp. 473. Hardback, $135.00. ISBN 978-1- 108-42059-4. Table of Contents as there a particular Zeitgeist in the literary culture after Domitian? How did literary figures think of themselves, their predecessors and their contemporaries under the first three of the “five good emper- ors”?W What sort of literary and cultural interactions are apparent in the authors active from the 90s to 130s CE? The eighteen contributions of this volume ad- dress these questions and more through a variety of interpretative and methodo- logical lenses, with intertextual and New Historicist readings driving a majority of the essays (although the contributors often want to stress how they have moved past “the snake pit of intertextuality”).1 The editors give a “manifesto” for the volume: “Literary Interactions is a call to work harder at reading high-imperial texts in their mutual context, and to attend to their dialogues (and lacks thereof) in as many ways as may be profitable” (28). As a whole, the volume succeeds in spades; while contributors stress the interactions between Pliny and Martial prominently and expectedly, there are also strong claims for Juvenal, Quintilian, Tacitus and Frontinus as especially important representatives of the illustrative “interactions” under consideration. The first group of essays focuses on literary connections. Whitton’s “Quintil- ian, Pliny, Tacitus” opens with a reflection on his title “Quite a pretentious title, to be sure” (37) that sets the reader up for the self-conscious style of his compelling essay.

  • The Empire Strikes: the Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C

    The Empire Strikes: the Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C

    The Empire Strikes: The Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C. – A.D. 68 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences by David Schwei M.A., University of Cincinnati, December 2012 B.A., Emory University, May 2009 Committee Chairs: Peter van Minnen, Ph.D Barbara Burrell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Coins permeated the Roman Empire, and they offer a unique perspective into the ability of the Roman state to implement its decisions in Italy and the provinces. This dissertation examines how this ability changed and grew over time, between 60 B.C. and A.D. 68, as seen through coin production. Earlier scholars assumed that the mint at Rome always produced coinage for the entire empire, or they have focused on a sudden change under Augustus. Recent advances in catalogs, documentation of coin hoards, and metallurgical analyses allow a fuller picture to be painted. This dissertation integrates the previously overlooked coinages of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt with the denarius of the Latin West. In order to measure the development of the Roman state’s infrastructural power, this dissertation combines the anthropological ideal types of hegemonic and territorial empires with the numismatic method of detecting coordinated activity at multiple mints. The Roman state exercised its power over various regions to different extents, and it used its power differently over time. During the Republic, the Roman state had low infrastructural minting capacity.
