Rome and Jerusalem : the clash of ancient civilizations

A magisterial history of the titanic struggle between the Roman and Jewish worlds that led to the destruction of Jerusalem. Martin Goodman--equally renowned in Jewish and in Roman studies--examines this conflict, its causes, and its consequences with unprecedented authority and thoroughness. He delineates the incompatibility between the cultural, political, and religious beliefs and practices of the two peoples and explains how Rome's interests were served by a policy of brutality against the Jews. At the same time, Christians began to distance themselves from their origins, becoming increasingly hostile toward Jews as Christian influence spread within the empire. This is the authoritative work of how these two great civilizations collided and how the reverberations are felt to this day.--From publisher description.

  • "Nel 70 d.C, dopo una guerra durata quattro anni, tre legioni romane comandate dal futuro imperatore Tito circondano, assediano e infine devastano la città di Gerusalemme. Sessant'anni più tardi, la distruzione della città è completata. Sulle sue rovine, l'imperatore Adriano costruisce la romana Aelia Capitolina, dove ai Giudei è proibito perfino entrare. Eppure, fino ad allora i Romani erano stati tolleranti con loro quanto con gli altri popoli dell'impero. Vessati da tasse arbitrarie, umiliati, ostacolati nella pratica della propria religione, gli Ebrei sono derubati perfino del nome della propria terra: la Giudea viene ribattezzata Palestina. Cosa scatena un conflitto tanto rabbioso? Perché, tra le numerose popolazioni assoggettate al dominio romano, solo quella giudaica riceve un trattamento così repressivo, così brutale? Perché accade questo disastro? Cosa, nella società giudaica e romana, rende impossibile la coesistenza? Questo libro, firmato da uno dei principali studiosi mondiali dell'antica Roma e del mondo giudaico, racconta e spiega questa battaglia titanica, perché quella politica di ostilità radicale servì gli interessi di Roma e come la prima generazione di Cristiani prese le distanze dalle proprie origini ebraiche divenendo sempre più ostile."
  • "En 70 après J.-C., Jérusalem fut mise à sac par les Romains. Les Juifs furent ensuite repoussés de la société impériale pendant trois siècles et vinrent à considérer Rome comme la quintessence du mal. L'auteur cherche à comprendre l'origine de ce conflit et ses diverses manifestations, retraçant la naissance de l'antisémitisme dans l'Empire romain."
