Genocidal Perspectives in the Roman Empire’s Approach towards the Jews

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the series of conflicts between the Roman government and the Jewish population of the Roman empire during the first and second centuries CE. Modern theories on this relationship are as elaborate and convoluted as the corpus of primary sources available for it. Both will be analyzed here through the scope of genocide, in an attempt to determine whether there ever existed a Roman intent to destroy the Jewish group or parts of it, and the extent to which actual destruction ultimately occurred.
