Aelia Capitolina – Jerusalem in the Roman Period: In Light of Archaeological Research: Mnemosyne, Supplements / Mnemosyne, Supplements, History and Archaeology of Classical Antiquity, cartea 432

Autor Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2019
The book discusses the history and the archaeology of Jerusalem in the Roman period (70-400 CE) following a chronological order, from the establishment of the Tenth Roman Legion’s camp on the ruins of Jerusalem in 70 CE, through the foundation of Aelia Capitolina by Hadrian, in around 130 CE, and the Christianization of the population and the cityscape in the fourth century. Cemeteries around the city, the rural hinterland, and the imperial roads that led to and from Aelia Capitolina are discussed as well. Due to the paucity of historical sources, the book is based on archaeological remains, suggesting a reconstruction of the city's development and a discussion of the population’s identity.

Recenzii

"Weksler-Bdolah has done a wonderful job in sketching a clear picture of the development of Jerusalem’s/Aelia’s topography and landscape. The many figures and especially the beautifully produced colored maps make that picture even more vibrant." - Jan Willem Drijvers, University of Groningen, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2020.09.35
"À notre connaissance, aucun ouvrage récent ne livre à la communauté internationale une synthèse aussi complète des fouilles archéologiquesconcernant l’époque romaine dans Jérusalem depuis le 19e siècle jusqu’à nos jours. À chaque fois qu’il en est question, les références des rapports des fouilles sont données en note de bas de page, afin de s’y référer à volonté. Ne serait-ce que pour cette raison, l’ouvrage de S. Weksler-Bdolah est indispensable à tout archéologue ou historien s’intéressant à l’archéologie de Jérusalem, fût-elle romaine ou autre. [...] Pour conclure, nous insistons pour répéter la grande qualité de l’ouvrage de Sh. Weksler-Bdolah appelé à devenir un livre de référence." - Dominique-Marie Cabaret, in: Revue Biblique 2021 - T. 128-3 (pp. 404-421)
