Josephus’ description of Sebastos<\/a>
\n“The historian Josephus Flavius, who was born around 7 or 8 CE, published a history of the Jewish War between 75 and 79 CE and a history of the Jewish people in 93-94 CE. Both these works contain a detailed description of the city of Caesarea and its harbour, Sebastos. Despite certain inevitable inaccuracies, the data contained in these descriptions has been of great value in assisting the reconstruction of the layout and appearance of the harbour in the Flavian period.”<\/p>\n

The Maccabean Army as portrayed in the War-Rule of The Army of the Sons of Light<\/a>
\nBy Luke Ueda-Sarson. “The Jewish uprising against the Seleucid kingdom of Antiochos Epiphanes, and the subsequent establishment of a Judaean state, came at a time of military change in the Hellenistic world. Roman power had become visibly triumphant, and emulation led Antiochos to rearm some of his troops in the Roman manner. While I am unconvinced by Nik Sekunda’s arguments that this process extended to the whole army, nether-the-less, Roman influence was certainly in the ascendent.1 Given this, it is tempting to ask if the army of the newly established Judaean state also showed such Roman influences.”<\/p>\n
