Jewish war
Readers are invited to the first translated from the Greek language, the Jewish war, the famous historian Flavius Josephus (37-100 years) - one of the greatest works of not only antique, but in General the world of historiography, created by the author, equally absorbed both the Jewish and Roman culture. Josephus wrote his work literally in the footsteps of "the Jewish war" - the Great Jewish revolt against Roman rule (69-71 years), in which he himself participated, and presented the war in all its brightness and versatility, placing it in the wider context of Jewish history.

Antiquities of the Jews

Having decided to restore the good name of fellow believers, to dispel the evil absurdity that accompanied the history of the origin, character, beliefs and lifestyle of the Jews, to show the historical importance of its people and reveal the true motives of his struggle with the power of Rome, Josephus did not stop nor the scope of the material, nor the vastness of the topic.
And solved his problem brilliantly.
"Antiquities of the Jews" is the story of the Jewish people from creation to the end of the Babylonian captivity, from Judah Maccabee to the accession to the throne and the death of Herod the Great... It ends with the revolt in Judea, which was Josephus.
