Description

Dr Jon Davies, Copenhagen University, gives a comprehensive overview of the life and times of Josephus, who wrote during the first century CE and is an important source for the Ancient History A Level syllabus.




Jon describes how a prophecy changed Josephus' fortune, explores why he wrote in Greek, his early role as a rebel commander, his purpose in writing history and some of the content of his key works - the Jewish War and the Jewish Antiquities.
