Jewish Antiquities

"Jewish Antiquities" refers to a comprehensive historical work by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, written around the 1st century CE. It details the history of the Jewish people from creation to the Jewish War against Rome. The text provides insights into Jewish culture, traditions, important figures, and events, as well as interactions with other civilizations, particularly the Romans. As a significant source, it helps historians understand the context of Jewish life, religious practices, and challenges faced during that era, while also contributing to the broader understanding of ancient history.
