Herod: King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans: Routledge Ancient Biographies
Autor Peter Richardson, Amy Marie Fisheren Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 aug 2020
In this expanded second edition, additions to the original text include discussion of the archaeological evidence of Herod’s activity, his building program, numismatic evidence, and consideration of the roles and activities of other client kings in relation to Herod. This volume includes new maps and numerous photographs, and these coupled with the new additions to the text make this a valuable tool for those interested in the wider Roman world of the late first century BCE at both under- and postgraduate levels. Herod remains the definitive study of the life and activities of the king known traditionally as Herod the Great.

Recenzii
"The first edition of Peter Richardson’s Herod King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans quickly established itself not only for its coherent and readable account of a figure of perpetual fascination, accessible for a more academic and a lay audience alike, but also for its attention to Herod’s building programme, and to the material evidence alongside the documentary. This second edition is to be warmly welcomed: if the overall estimation is consistent, revisions and additions are pervasive, reflecting both the ongoing contributions of scholarship, and the continuing engagement of Richardson and now of Amy Marie Fisher. For the richness of its rounded portrayal it deserves to be discovered and enjoyed by a new generation of readers across the disciplinary boundaries demarcating the ancient Mediterranean world."

"They offer often scathing critical analyses of the sources, camoes of many of the most notable people of the times, and an interesting discussion of how and why Herod came to be seen as a villain by both Jews and Christians. Herod is a worthwhile read for the seasoned student of ancient history."

Descriere
Herod examines the life, work, and influence of this controversial figure, who remains the most highly visible of the Roman client kings under Augustus. Herod’s rule shaped the world in which Christianity arose and his influence can still be seen today.
