Description
The Second Jewish Revolt against the Roman dominion (132-135 CE) considerably changed the political and cultural landscape of Jewish Palestine.
Judaea was almost completely devastated, and Jewish life shifted from Judaea to the Galilee.
The Roman victory, however, was won at great cost. The last decade has seen some stunning developments in research on the Bar Kokhba War.
In particular, recent archaeological findings provide new material for evaluation.
This volume is based on a conference which took place in November 2001 at Princeton University and gathers a distinguished array of scholars working at the forefront of research on the Bar Kokhba period.
It appraises the state of the subject in light of the present scholarly discussion and evaluates the historical importance of this major event and its repercussions for the subsequent history of the Jews in Roman Palestine.
A concluding essay investigates the use of Bar Kokhba's image in modern Israeli culture.
