Representing the dynasty in Flavian Rome: the case of Josephus' "Jewish War" by Davies, J

“…<p>This thesis investigates the problem of contemporary historiography and regime representation in Flavian Rome through a close study of a text not usually read for such purposes but which has obvious promise for a study of this theme, the Jewish War of Flavius Josephus.
